“…Regardless of this, maize grain and above-ground biomass yields showed significant differences (p 0.05) among treatments. Generally, both grain and above-ground biomass yields in the experiment showed an increasing trend with increasing lime rate which is supported by findings of Komljenovic et al (2015) and Oloo (2016).…”

Soil acidity is the major soil chemical constraint that limits agricultural productivity in the highlands of Ethiopia receiving high rainfall. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different lime rates determined through different lime rate determination methods on selected soil chemical properties and yield of maize ( Zea mays L. ) on acidic Nitisols of Mecha district, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. The experiment had 10 treatments (0, 0.06, 0.12, 0.18, 1, 2, 3.5, 4, 7 and 14 tons ha −1 lime) that were calculated by three lime rate determination methods and applied through three lime application methods (spot, drill and broadcast). The experiment was arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. N at the rate of 180 kg ha −1 and P at the rate of138 P 2 O 5 kg ha −1 were applied to all plots. A full dose of P and lime as a treatment were applied at planting; whereas N was applied in split, 1/2 at planting and 1/2 at knee height stage. One composite soil sample before planting from experimental site and again one composite sample from each experimental unit were taken after harvest to analyze soil chemical parameters following appropriate laboratory procedure. Liming showed a positive significant difference on pH-H 2 O, pH-buffer, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and exchangeable bases but it had an inverse and significant effect on exchangeable acidity (EA). However, it didn't show any significant difference on soil C and N. Grain and above-ground biomass of maize yields had significant differences among treatments. The highest grain and biomass yields (7719 and 18180.6 kg ha −1 , respectively) were obtained from application of broad cast method while the lowest (6479 and 15004.6 kg ha −1 , respectively) were obtained from control treatment. Drill lime application method provided better efficiency with over 200% cost reduction advantage compared to the broadcast method to ameliorate the same level of acidity. Application of 3.5 tons ha −1 lime in the drilling method is recommendable to ameliorate soil acidity. However, from an economic point of view, application of 0.12 tons ha −1 lime applied in the micro-dosing method is more profitable due to low variable cost.

“…This was also attributed to the lower initial pH value of the soil in their study. Moreover, ameliorative P fertilization has been found useful for increasing yields, but these effects are generally lower than the combined effects of fertilization and liming [38]. The positive effects of liming and P fertilization on yields of maize in the temperate region of the Balkans were also found by earlier studies [33,39].…”

Lime application combined with complementary sustainable management practices increases crop yields, but liming is only modestly applied in Serbia. This study investigated the influence of liming (1000 kg/ha) combined with the common application of mineral fertilizers on maize yield and the chemical properties of pseudogley soil. The experiment was conducted near Kraljevo, Western Serbia, on the maize hybrid ZP 606 sown in a two-year monoculture. The experiment had three treatments: fertilizer, fertilizer + lime, and a control treatment. The soil is acid, poor in humus, and contains an increased content of mobile aluminum. There was a significant increase in yield under the fertilizer and lime + fertilizer treatments, compared to the control. The yield of maize in the limed treatment was 4.4–9% higher than in the fertilizer treatment. The positive effects of liming on soil are related to an increase in pH, base saturation, and available phosphorus, and a decrease in available aluminum. In the fertilizer treatment, there was a small decrease in pH and base saturation, whereas the amount of aluminum remained high, indicating that the further application of fertilizers without lime can increase aluminum content and foster its toxicity. The long-term sustainability of maize production in Serbia should include liming as a regular management practice on pseudogley soil, with the utilization of smaller doses of lime because of the potential CO2 effects. To improve soil health, food, and environmental security, and to incorporate new crops, developing a framework promoting liming as a sustainable management practice is of high importance.

“…Low levels of plant available P, alone or in combination with K, are limiting factor of soil fertility, mainly present on the hydromorphic and clay soils, in Croatia. Adequate fertilization is possible solution for increase yields of field crops under these conditions (KOMLJENOVIĆ et al, 2015). However, alleviation of nutritional stress is possible by the other management practices, for example selection of more tolerant genotypes by correspondingly plant breeding strategies (NAWAZ, 2006;RENGEL and DAMON, 2008;TAYYAR and GUL, 2008;JELIĆ et al, 2009;KOVAČEVIĆ et al, 2011;REZAEI and RAZZAGHI, 2015;ANDRIĆ et al, 2016).…”

Nine maize lines, commonly used as female parents of maize hybrid (B1=♀2-48; B2=♀1767/99; B3=♀ 87-24; B4=♀135-88, B5=♀84-28; B6=♀84-44; B7=♀438-95; B8=♀30-8; B9=♀B-73) were grown under field conditions on Podgorac acid soil in Osijek-Baranya County for two growing seasons (2006 and 2007). The ear-leaves at flowering and grain at maturity were taken from each basic plot (14 m 2) for chemical analysis with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Average concentrations (2-year means: g kg-1 in dry matter) were as follows: 3.21 and 3.00 (P), 20.8 and 3.45 (K), 6.60 and 0.05 (Ca), 2.44 and 1.04 (Mg) for leaves and grain, respectively. Differences among genotypes were from 2.69 to 3.95 and from 2.70 to 3.57 (P), from 18.0 to 23.3 and from 3.03 to 3.71 (K), from 5.45 to 8.02 and from 0.04 to 0.07 (Ca), from 1.35 to 3.09 and from 0.84 to 1.36 (Mg), for leaves and grain, respectively. Specifies of leaf composition of individual genotypes were as follows: B1 (the highest Ca and Mg), B2 (the highest P), B4 (the lowest Ca, Mg and P), B6 (the highest K) and B7 (the lowest K). Grain composition was mainly in accordance with specifies of leaf composition. Very high correlation in maize mineral composition under identical environmental conditions for nine genotypes between two years (0.97***, 0.97*** and 0.91*** for K, Ca and Mg, respectively) are indication of high hereditary effects, while P was more under environmental impact (r = 0.43). Significant correlations were found between grain-P and grain-K (0.55*), grain-Ca (0.49*) and grain-Mg (0.86***), grain-Ca and grain-Mg (0.54*). However, regarding mineral composition of leaves, only leaf-Ca and leaf-P had significant correlation (-0.46*).
