Influences of Liming on Nutritional Status of Soil

Increasing rates of carbocalk gradually raised soil pH value and that effect was significant at all treatments in the fourth year after liming. Overall, increased soil pH had the positive impact on phosphorus availability, whilst the micronutrients solubility mostly was reduced. Due to antagonism with Ca-ions, whose contents were considerably increased, potassium availability were declined, but that effect were significant only at the higher liming rates. As regards Fe, Al and Zn status, there weren’t notable differences among liming treatments. It can be concluded, that the most positive effect on nutritional status of investigated stagnic albeluvisol had the carbocalk rates of 30 and 45 t ha−1, while the higher rates led to nutrient unbalances.
