- Intervention effect Rice, corn, and cowpea accumulated more root and top dry matter at acidic pH.
- Intervention effect Increasing soil pH enhanced wheat root and top dry matter.
- Intervention effect Increasing soil pH enhanced common bean root and top dry matter.
- Intervention effect Calcium and magnesium uptake decreased as pH decreased across all crop species.
- Intervention effect Zinc, manganese, and iron uptake increased as pH decreased across all species.
- Intervention effect Increasing soil pH decreased nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptake in rice.
- Intervention effect Increasing soil pH increased nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptake in wheat.
- Intervention effect Increasing soil pH increased nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptake in corn.
- Intervention effect Increasing soil pH increased nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium uptake in common bean.
- Recommendation The authors recommend considering each crop species acidity tolerance and nutrient demand to realize its genetic potential in Oxisol.
