Description: Abstract from a university lecture describing the physical and chemical effects of liming on different soil types.
Potentially beneficial effects from liming: chemical and physical Soil Crop Sci. Soc. Fla. Proc. 31:189-196 (1971) ...Lime may affect crops differently on temperate and tropical soils. ... The difference is not in whether crops respond to lime under both conditions but in what factors affect response to lime under each condition. Hence we are addressing the question of how responses to lime differ under tropical and temperate conditions and why they do so, rather than the question of whether responses occur. ... Since the primary objective in liming is to alter the chemical properties of a soil, it is essential to examine those properties that are altered. Solution of the world food production problem may well depend on our success in finding ways of making tropical soils more productive under a tropical climate which favors year-round plant growth. Correcting soil acidity or making conditions favorable for crops to tolerate it are steps in this direction.
