The water-soluble organic compounds of plant residues released on the soil surface can improve the subsoil fertility, due to the neutralization of acidity and Ca and Mg transport. An experiment was conducted at the Instituto Agronomico do Parana (IAPAR), Londrina, to evaluate the effect of water-soluble organic compounds of plant extracts on the chemical characteristics of a dark Red Latosol (Typic Haplortox), on soil samples in columns. The treatments consisted of: distilled water, lime incorporated in the 0-5 cm soil […]
