Title
Effect of Depth of Lime Incorporation on the Growth of Corn on an Oxisol of Central Brazil
E. Gonzalez‐Erico; E. J. Kamprath; G. C. Naderman; et al. Soil Science Society of America Journal 1979. doi:10.2136/sssaj1979.03615995004300060019x
Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Four tons of incorporated lime reduced soil Al saturation from 72% to below 5%.
- Observation Soil solution Al fell to very low levels at pH 5.5.
- Intervention effect Liming increased grain yields of three successive corn crops.
- Intervention effect Thirty-centimeter lime incorporation gave higher corn yield than 15-centimeter incorporation.
- Intervention effect MgSO 4 increased yield over the untreated acid soil.
- Intervention effect Liming increased root length considerably in the upper 15 cm.
- Intervention effect Liming doubled root length at 15 to 30 cm depth.
- Intervention effect Deep liming increased water use from 15 to 30 cm depth.
- Mechanism Deep liming reduced moisture stress damage to corn yield at tasseling.
