Of the four liming materials i.e., calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, calcium magnesium carbonate and weed ash, calcium hydroxide gave the highest and the most stable pH increase. Soil re-acidification was least with the addition of calcium ammonium nitrate as N-source than adding either urea or ammonium sulphate. In the lima requirement study, the quantities of liming material needed to bring the soil pH from 4.0 to 5.0; 6.0; 6.5 and 7.0 units, were 1.66; 2.49; 3.32 and 4.14 metric tonnes Ca(OH)2 per hectare soil respectively. A greenhouse study showed that the highest dry matter yield of maize was obtained at a pH value of 5.2 with 50ppm N addition while that of tomato was at pH of 6.0 with the same level of N-addition. Tomato plant showed a greater sensitivity to soil acidity than maize. In the field, both liming and N.-addition increased the fruit yield of tomato, with the highest yield occuring at a pH of 7.0 with 80kg/ha N -addition. Uptake of N by tomato was increased by both lime and N-application. Increased fruit yield of tomato from the limed plots was due, among others, to the increase in C.E.C. and % B.S.; reduction in the levels of the toxic micro-nutrients i.e., Mn, Fe and Cu, and % aluminium Saturation. Optimal growth of maize may be obtained at a pH of 5.0 to 6.0 and tomato at a pH of 6.0 to 7.0 with adequate N-applications. 2023-05-13T16:38:01Z 2023-05-13T16:38:01Z 1986 Thesis https://ir.oauife.edu.ng/123456789/5299 en application/pdf Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria |
