Dissolution of ground basalt and its effect on oxisol chemical properties and cocoa growth
Obtaining suitable and environmentally sound materials for restoring properties of highly weathered soils (e.g., Oxisols) presents a great challenge. A study was carried out to: (i) determine the ability of ground basalt to increase the negative charge of an Oxisol, increase plant nutrients (Ca, Mg,...
