A green house experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of the application of solid urban waste compost at a rate of 30 g dm-3 (60 t ha-1), on 21 acid and five alkaline soils in relation to their organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorous and sulfur contents. Compost from the São Matheus Treatment Plant (São Paulo, Brazil) was applied with or without dolomitic lime and mineral fertilizers. In alkaline soils, lime was substituted by gypsum. The experiment was carried […]
