EVOLUTION OF THE CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AMODERATELY PODZOLIZED ALBIC LUVISOL UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF LIMING AND CULTIVATED AGRICULTURAL SPECIES

Abstract

In order to evaluate the nutrient supply status of amoderately podzolized albicluvic soil, and to assess the influence of liming on the chemical characteristics of the soil, an experimental field was established to test different agricultural species under both amended and unamended conditions.At the same time, the study aimed to identify and characterize agricultural species and varieties with high tolerance to soil acidity, capable of efficiently exploiting acidic lands, by assessing the agronomic performance and quality of new crops (buckwheat, chickpea, mustard, sweet sorghum, faba bean, lentil) alongside those of conventional crops cultivated in the area (red clover, lupine, triticale, wheat).The results demonstrated that liming of acidic soils has significant effects on the supply of macro- and microelements, reflected in an increased availability of essential nutrients and improved absorption by the ten plant species tested.
