Abstract

The authors report the results of three experiments carried out in "cerrado" soils in order to check out the effects of liming on the pH values of those soils. After the experimental period (5 years), samples were taken from depths of 0-10, 10-20, 20-40, 40-70 and 70-100 cm for pH measurements. It was observed that the increase depended upon the ammount of lime applied and that such effect was only clear to 20-40 cm of depth; and also that the soil texture is very important: the finer it is, the larger is the quantity of lime to be applied.
