First, we performed the chemical and mineralogical characterizations of the inputs and the soil. The study was carried out in Paranavaí/PR ? Brazil in Arenosol. The treatments were arranged within a split-plot system, designed in randomized blocks with four repetitions. The experimental plots were composed of 4 inputs that are sources of Ca, Mg and S (limestone, rhythmite, gypsum and fidagran) and, for the subplots, inputs that are sources of K (phonolite and clayey siltstone). Right after the application of the inputs, the sugarcane was planted. After 7 months of cultivation, we collected leaves for the determination of macronutrients and, after 14 months, the sugarcane was harvested. Afterwards, we collected the soil samples to determine the pH and the available ions P, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, S?SO42-. According to the results, the rhythmite increased the soil pH, in general, by 27% in both subplots and contributed to an increase in Ca2+ (89%) and Mg2+ (307%) contents in the evaluated depths and S?SO42- (63%) at a depth of 20?40 cm. The treatments composed by phonolite allowed, on average, K+ 129% higher values than those found in clay siltstone. The inputs applied, in general, allowed greater accumulation of K, Mg and S by the plants. The results demonstrate that the mining coproducts from Irati and Corumbataí Formations can be used as alternative and clean sources of nutrients, increasing the contents of available ions in the soil and the accumulation of nutrients by the plants.  aCana de Açúcar  aSolo  aCoprodutos mineiros1 aNANNI, M.
