Limestone Mobilizes Phosphates into Korean Lespedeza¹

Effect of Liming on the Absorption of Calcium, Phosphorus and Nitrogen by Sorghum Plant in Alkaline Soils

“…Sewell and Latshah (7) showed that there was no increase in phosphorus content of alfalfa when superphosphate was applied alone, but,an increase was noticeable when the crop was fertilized with lime and superphosphate. Albrecht and Klemme ( 1) have presented their field data on Lespedeza forage. They concluded that calcium, phosphorus and the protein contents of plants are almost doubled in treatments where lime and superphosphate were applied together over superphosphate alone.…”
