Agronomic effectiveness of lime and phosphogypsum for soybean in a Cerrado Soil
IPNI-2016-BRA-71
The Brazilian Cerrado is located in areas of tropical and subtropical climate, where the acidic soils are characterized by low pH, low organic matter, low levels of exchangeable calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg), low base saturation index, and relatively high exchangeable aluminum. Only with the practice of liming and fertilization was it possible to establish commercial agriculture in this important Brazilian biome. Read more
