Most agricultural soils are unproductive due to soil acidity which limits crop growth and yield.
To ameliorate soil acidity constraints and enhance the ecosystem services the soil renders …

India, the center of origin and the country with the largest area of black pepper cultivation in
the world has a low crop productivity in general. Furthermore, Kerala, the traditional black …

Introduction There is lack of information on the impact of acidity correctives (lime and

In this study, several granular biocomposite carrier systems were prepared that contain
biomaterials (chitosan, torrefied wheat straw and avian eggshells) as additive components …

Introduction Soil bacterial community structure, abundance and diversity, important in
biogeochemical cycling, are influenced by several anthropogenic and edaphic factors …

In addition to aluminum and other heavy metal toxicities, acidic soils also feature nutrient
deficits that are not easily overcome by merely adding the required amounts of mineral …

With over 60% of Brazil's pasture fields having acidic soils and varying degrees of
degradation, correcting these conditions could increase the country's agricultural output …

The quality of lime is generally estimated by traditional methodologies, which consist of
coarse granulometry and chemical reactivity determinations. Performing a detailed …

Pampa biome soils have higher Ca and Mg than tropical soils. However, they also present
low soil pH and high Al saturation, which can be cheaply amended with local dolomitic …

Objective: The study proposes using the dolomite buffer capacity (BC Dolomite) as a method
