Alleviating acid soil infertility constrains using basalt, ground magnesium limestone and gypsum in a tropical environment.
Ultisols and Oxisols in the tropical regions are often acidic, with high Al but deficient in Ca and/or Mg. This limits maize production. Studies were conducted to investigate the efficacy of basalt, ground magnesium limestone (GML) and gypsum as acid soil ameliorants. Results showed that basalt impr...
