D. aAmelioration of subsoil acidity in an oxisol of the humid tropics.h[electronic resource] c1993 aThis work investigated the effects of amendments of fertilizer N and lime on subsoil acidity and maize rooting depth in an acid soil of the central Amazon basin. A split-plot designed field experiment was conducted on a clayey Oxisol (Typic Acrudox) during a 16-month period. Main plots received 0 or 4 Mt ha-1 of lime. Subplots were four crop sequences: (1) Maize-green manure (Canavalia ensiformes); (2) maize-green manure (Mucuna aterrima); (3) maize-bare fallow, with the maize receiving 300 kg ha-1 of urea-N; and (4) bare fallow, with an application of 300 kg ha-1 of urea-N at the same time as sequence 3. Plots were periodically sampled to 1.2 m. aAdubação Verde aCalagem aPh aCanavalia ensiformes aMaize aMucuna aterrima1 aBOULDIN, D. R.1 aCRAVO, M. S. tBiol. Fertil. Soilsgv. 15, n. 2, p. 153-159, 1993.
