“…The high concentration of KCl (1.0 mol L -1 ) may be causing hydrolysis of part of the Al of non-exchangeable forms, possibly coming from amorphous compounds present in these soils, overestimating "exchangeable" Al contents and, consequently, saturation by Al (Table 3). Overestimation of Al-KCl may be masking toxicity of Al to plants without this toxicity occurring (Ebeling et al, 2008;Coelho et al, 2011;Bernini et al, 2013;Cunha et al, 2015). It must be considered that the levels of P in the AC9, PE, RS, and BR soils after cropping were very high (Table 3), which can partially decrease the response of the plants to limestone application (Ernani et al, 2000).…”
