Effects on soil chemical properties in Swedish arable soils of different lime products

Abstract

In field experiments the effects on soil pH and base saturation of different lime products were investigated. Product property hardness depending on geological origin of the raw material was compared in two groups, soft and hard. Crystalline dolomites e.g. were regarded as hard products and sedimentary lime-stones as soft ones. Also particle size and particle size distribution in the products were compared. Two classes were used, fine graded (
