“…Researchers have demonstrated that plants respond to soil salinization with decreased growth and biomass yield (Mostofa et al , Li et al ). Salt stress decreased the growth and biomass yield (leaf fresh weight and root fresh weight) of ginger seedlings in this study.…”

The effects of low pH on antioxidant metabolism and nitrogen (N) assimilation in ginger seedlings under salt stress were investigated. A two‐way randomized block design was used: the main treatment consisted of two pH levels, normal and low pH (6.0 and 4.0, respectively), and the other treatment consisted of two salinity levels, 0 and 100 mmol l−1 Na+ (NaCl and Na2SO4). The results showed that low pH decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide contents of ginger seedling leaves under salt stress. Moreover, low pH and salt stress significantly decreased the contents of non‐enzymatic antioxidants, including ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH), and increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) and glutathione reductase (GR). In addition, salt stress inhibited the N assimilation process in ginger seedling leaves, but low pH improved N assimilation under salt stress. Our finding was that low pH alleviated oxidative damage and promoted N assimilation under salt stress.

“…In addition to the low soil pH, particularly in TQ (5.1) (Table 1), the response to liming may also be correlated with low base saturation (TQ = 26%; RH = 25%) and exchangeable Al concentration (Table 1). Liming caused the decrease or elimination of toxic concentrations of Al (Raboin et al, 2016, Li et al, 2016 and an increase in the availability of Ca and Mg, improving the balance of cations and increasing the base saturation of the soil (Rietra et al, 2017). The physalis responded more strongly to liming in the TQ than the RH, as estimated by the CV (Table 2).…”

“…Acidic soils occupy approximately one-third of the soils worldwide (Sikiric et al, 2011) and occur in some of the world's most important food producing regions (Takasu et al, 2006). Soil acidity is one of the main limiting factors of agricultural activities (Li et al, 2016. Liming is an essential practice in agricultural systems (Fageria et al, 2007, Sikiric et al, 2011, Anikwe et al, 2016, Silva et al, 2016 and is widely used to increase yield in acidic soils (Caires et al, 2006, Fageria et al, 2008, Bhat et al, 2010, Kostic et al, 2015.…”

“…It is one of the most efficient and common strategies to correct the high acidity of the soil (Nelson andSu, 2010, Steiner et al, 2012). Moreover, the addition of dolomitic limestone increases Ca and Mg concentrations in the soil (Li et al, 2016, Rietra et al, 2017 and improves the cation balance in the soil (Rietra et al, 2017). The soil pH values for optimum crop production should be between pH 6.0 and 7.0 (Caires et al, 2006, Fageria et al, 2008, with base saturation values ranging from 60 to 80% (Fageria et al, 2008), and for physic nut crop, a pH above to 6.0 and base saturation of 52% provided maximum plant growth (Silva et al, 2016).…”

Response of physalis (Physalis peruviana L.) to liming in acidic soils

Physalis is an herbaceous plant that produces edible fruits with a bittersweet flavor. This species has a high cropping potential attracting attention of farmers, traders and consumers. The effects of soil acidity indices on nutrient uptake, optimal growth, yield and fruit quality of physalis in acidic soils were evaluated. The study was conducted in a greenhouse with four lime requirements in completely randomized design and five replications. Dolomitic limestone was applied to the soils at rates of 0, 0.6, 1.4, and 2.3 t ha-1 (Typic Quartzipsamment) and 0, 0.8, 1.8, and 2.8 t ha-1 (Rhodic Hapludox). Plant height, stem diameter, shoot and root dry weight, longitudinal and transverse diameters of the fruits, macro and micronutrient concentrations in leaves, and soil chemical properties were evaluated. Liming is an essential practice for the cultivation of Physalis peruviana L. in the acidic soils, where it is aimed to achieve higher yields and quality fruit. The results highlighted the high demands of physalis for Ca, Mg, and base saturation, and low tolerance to aluminum in the soil. Maximum growth, yield and fruit quality was obtained with the application of 1.8 t lime ha-1 for both soils. The determined standards for pH in water, tolerated aluminum saturation, desired base saturation and calcium and magnesium requirements were 6.4, 5.0 %, 67 % and 25,8 mmolc dm-3, respectively.
