Carbon dioxide emissions from selected soils in Zambia : effects of nitrogenous fertilizer and agricultural lime.
… was conducted to assess the effects of applying agricultural lime and an NPK fertilizer on CO2 emissions from soils and to identify soil properties that have a significant influence on soil organic carbon (SOC) contents and on soil organic carbon mineralization. Soil samples collected from …

Evaluation of the contribution of residual fertilizer phosphorus to phosphate status and plant growth under conservation agriculture practice
… P could be made available to plants by applying, agricultural lime or organic matter or a combination of the two to the soils. Two acid soils under CA were used as test soils in the study. Total P contents and the chemical fractions of P in the cultivated and adjacent non-cultivated soils were …

The influence of N, P, K, lime and other factors affecting the growth of container-grown freesia : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Horticultural Science in the University of Canterbury [Lincoln College]
… nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) potassium (K) and lime (Ca - as dolomite and agricultural lime) on the growth and flowering of tetraploid freesias. 2. The effect of magnesium (Mg) on growth. 3. The influence of density and shade on freesia development. 4. The effect of the hormone kinetin. 5. …

Application of silicon to improve yield and quality of potatoes (Solanum Tuberrosum L.)
… food shortages because unlike cereals and other agricultural crops, it is less affected by prices in the international markets. Research on alleviation of food crises suggested root and tuber crops such as potatoes to be the solution to the problem of food shortage. The crop is widely cultivated …

Improved Management of Acid Sulfate Soils for Rice Production in Casamance, Senegal
… to test the following soil treatments – agricultural lime, pulverized oyster shell, biochar, and control (no amendment) – in flat and raised beds. Plots amended with lime and shell materials had increased soil pH, base saturation, Ca, and cation exchange capacity. Meanwhile, biochar …

Retardance of rainwater-leached metals from CCA-treated (chromated copper arsenate) wood ash in soil
… was studied. The amendments evaluated were agricultural lime (CaCO3/MgCO3), soil softener (CaSO4 . 2H2O), and iron sulfate (FeSO4). The evaluation was performed using batch and column leaching studies and pH studies. The control soil used in this study is from the Ultisol soil order, the …

The Physiological Impacts of Soil Alkalising Agents on Legumes.
… for food production, sustainable intensive agricultural systems will continue to supply supplementary fertilisers. Furthermore, crop nutrient availability needs to be optimised to maximise output, traditionally achieved by applying lime (calcium carbonate) to target soil pH ranges (6-6.5) …

Exploring Phosphorus Dynamics in Mid-Atlantic Soils: A Multi-Scale Analysis Integrating Soil Fertility and Land Management for Environmental Sustainability
… The second component examined the influence of agricultural lime on legacy P phases in the soil. Lime was applied at rates ranging from 0 to 2690 kg ha-1 to an acid sandy loam Ultisol (pH < 5.1). Using partial Hedley P fractionation, changes in water-soluble P, soil test P (Mehlich-1 …
