Lime requirement diagnostic by base saturation (H + Al) estimation methods are critical in CEC calculation since they are bound to a potential soil acidity of pH 7.0. This study was carried out in order to evaluate a relation between the H + Al obtained by direct soil incubation with calcium carbonate and the estimation by the extractors acetate salt and SMP index. Twelve south Brazilian soils, incubated with increasing calcium carbonate rates to establish the real soil acidity at […]
