e0“This study aimed to evaluate the effects of superficial lime and silicate application on soil chemical attributes as well as on soybean and maize nutrition and grain yields when these crops are grown in rotation with green manure”
e1“Silicate corrected soil acidity and increased exchangeable base levels in soil at greater depths faster than does liming”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Silicate increased exchangeable base levels in soil at greater depths faster than liming.
- Intervention effect Both acidity-correcting materials increased N, Ca and Mg leaf concentrations in soybean compared with no soil correction.
- Intervention effect Both acidity-correcting materials increased all yield components and grain yield in soybean compared with no soil correction.
- Intervention effect In maize, silicate increased N and Si compared with lime.
- Intervention effect Both acidity-correcting materials increased grains per ear and mass of 100 grains in maize.
- Observation Maize grain yield was highest with both acidity-correcting materials.
- Intervention effect Both acidity-correcting materials increased dry matter production of green manures.
- Observation For pigeon pea in this dry-winter region, silicate gave the best result.
