The effects of lime and gypsum are widely discussed in the literature, but their magnitude in relation to effects in the soil profile is dependent on the time since application of these inputs. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of long-term application of gypsum and lime on chemical properties of a soil in crop rotation in a no-till system. The experiment was carried out in Jaguariaíva, Paraná state, Brazil, in a sandy loam Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo […]

There is interest to establish the no-tillage system in areas cultivated previously with conventional tillage or pasture, with surface liming after system establishment. This practice is possible provided that there are no physical obstacles for root growth. Phosphogypsum is an alternative to decrease Al3+ and increase base saturation (BS), mainly Ca2+, in the subsoil, and can be used complementary to liming. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in chemical soil attributes (pH CaCl2, H + Al, Al3+, Ca2+, […]

Lime incorporation is not desirable in no-tillage systems. Lime is therefore applied on the soil surface, concentrating the product on the first few centimeters of the profile. We evaluated the aftereffects of dolomitic limestone (2.0, 4.9 and 7.8 t ha-1) application, either on surface or incorporated, on the deeper layers of a Typic Haplustox from the Brazilian Cerrado. Soil samples were collected at six, 18 and 30 months after liming at depths of 0-5, 5-10, 10-20, and 20-40 cm. After six months the pH, […]

This experiment was carried out on a dystrophic Dark-Red Latosol from Ponta Grossa, Paraná, Brazil, to evaluate the yield of corn, wheat and soybean as a function of the changes in the chemical characteristics of soil due to surface application of lime and gypsum under a no-tillage system. A completely randomized block design was used, with three replications, in a split-plot experiment. Dolomitic limestone was applied at rates of 0, 2, 4 and 6 t ha-1 (main plots) in July […]

The experiment was carried out on a dystrophic Dark Red Latosol from Ponta Grossa, Paraná State, Brazil, to evaluate the effects of the surface application of lime and gypsum on soil chemical characteristics and soybean response in no-tillage. A randomized complete block design was used, with three replications, in a split-plot experiment. Dolomitic limestone was applied at rates of 0, 2, 4 and 6 t ha-1 (main plots) in July of 1993; gypsum was applied at rates of 0, 4, […]
