The Effect of Lime Application on Soil Reaction and Available Micronutrients
Project no. 21504 · Status: Kapanmış · 2020
Summary
In this study carried out in İzmir Ödemiş conditions, the effects of different doses of lime application on soil reaction, available Ca, P, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn were investigated. For this purpose, 45 soil samples were taken in 3 different sampling periods and analyzed in the Laboratories of Ege University Faculty of Agriculture Soil Science and Plant Nutrition Department. In the study, lime doses were controlled, ¼ optimal dose (1.66 t / ha), ½ optimal dose (3.31 t / ha), optimal dose (6.63 t / ha) and 2 × optimal dose (13.30 t / ha ha). At the end of the trial (3rd sampling period), the highest soil reaction was observed in 2 × optimal dose of lime application. Soil reaction in the control application was 4.80, while it was 5.99 in this application. Lime applications have reduced the availability of available P, Ca and micronutrients.
