“…The highest available P content associated with the wood ash treated soil was attributed to the fact that wood ash was a source of P in addition to its liming effect (Table 2). An increased available P has been observed previously by the application of ash by different studies (Adetunji, 1997;Nkana et al, 2002;Saarsalmi et al, 2006;Awodun et al, 2007;Insam et al, 2009).…”

“…This may be due to the increased concentration of hydroxyl ion (OH -) that increase surface negative charge and leading to competition with P ions for adsorption sites and increased P availability (Fageria, 2007;Mweta et al, 2007;Kisinyo et al, 2013). In addition to its liming effect, wood ash contains P and can be used to alleviate P deficiencies better than lime (Adetunji, 1997;Nkana et al, 2002;Saarsalmi et al, 2006;Awodun et al, 2007;Insam et al, 2009).…”

An incubation study was conducted for two months to evaluate the effects of different treatments on the inorganic P fractions and other chemical properties on an acidic soil. Four rates of lime and wood ash (3.5, 7.0, 9.2, 11.2 tons CaCO 3 equivalent ha , respectively. The maximum increment in Olsen P by 132%, aluminum bound P (Al-P) by 160%, iron bound P (Fe-P) by 22% and oxalate extractable P (P ox ) by 33% were observed by the application of mineral P at 130 kg P ha -1 plus wood ash (7.0 tons CaCO 3 ha -1 ). Therefore, lime and wood ash applications in acidic soils can effectively ameliorate H + and Al 3+ toxicity and P deficiency.

“…They also related that the increase of Klason lignin as a result of ash application correlated negatively with N and positively with K, Mg and Ca in soil. Besides, large increases in concentrations of inorganic Ca and Mg with ash relative to lime and especially increases in K reflected the supply of these elements by ash (NKANA et al, 2002).…”

-There are large areas of Oxisols in South America, including Brazil, with low fertility and acidity. To improve crop yields on these Oxisols, liming and fertilization is an essential practice. However, besides the high cost of fertilizers, chemical fertilizers cannot be used in organic production systems, except insoluble sources. Ash is one of the alternative source of supplying macro and micronutrients. A field experiment was conducted, in a completely randomized block design in a factorial arrangement (three sources of ash x four rates) resulting on 12 treatments, to evaluate the effect of source and rate of ash application on soil chemical properties. The treatments consisted of three sources (bagasse, bagasse+PJ07-A and bagasse+PJ07-RA) of sugarcane ash applied in four rates as 0; 5; 15 and 30 Mg ha . Results showed that the use of ash significantly improved soil chemical properties such as pH, P, K, Mg, base saturation, K and Mg saturation and significantly reduced soil acidity (H+Al). Depending on the ash source or rate, some of the soil chemical properties were affected, however, the effect of ash source was not so pronounced as compared with ash rate. Ashes application resulted on a soil nutritional condiction enough to guarantee the growth and yield of most annual crops. Ash sources were equally effective in reducing acidity and improving soil fertility under this study condition, while increasing ash rate provides decrease in H+Al content and increase in pH, Mg, P and K.Key words -Base saturation. Organic residue. Alternative fertilizer.Resumo -Existem extensas áreas de Latossolo na América do Sul com baixa fertilidade e acidez, inclusive no Brasil. Para melhorar a produtividade desses solos, o uso de fertilizantes e calcário é uma prática essencial. Contudo, além dos altos custos destes insumos, seu uso não é permitido em sistemas de produção orgânica. Dependendo da fonte, as cinzas podem fornecer macro e micronutrientes para culturas anuais. Foi conduzido um experimento de campo, em delineamento de blocos ao acaso com arranjo fatorial (três fontes de cinza x quatro doses) resultando em 12 tratamentos, para avaliar o efeito do tipo e de doses de cinzas nas propriedades químicas do solo. Os tratamentos consistiram de três tipos de cinzas e quatro doses 0; 5; 15 e 30 Mg ha -1 . Os resultados indicaram que o uso de cinzas melhorou significativamente algumas propriedades químicas do solo, como: pH, K, Mg, saturação de bases, saturação por K e Mg e reduziu significativamente a acidez total (H+Al). Dependendo do tipo de cinza usado, algumas das propriedas químicas do solo foram afetadas, contudo, o efeito do tipo não foi tão marcante quanto o efeito da dose. A aplicação das cinzas resultou em uma condição nutricional do solo adequadas para o crescimento e produção da maioria das culturas anuais. Os três tipos de cinzas foram igualmente eficientes em reduzir a acidez e melhorar a fertilidade do Latossolo de Cerrado, enquanto que um aumento na dose aplicada provocou diminuição do teor de H+Al e aum...

“…The high silica content dilutes the concentration of all other components, including that of the bases. The mean contents of Ca, Mg, K, and Na in wood ash cited by Nkana et al (2002), Ozolincius et al (2005), Lima et al (2009), andRisse (2013) are much higher than in the RHA in this study (Table 1) or those cited elsewhere, by Chandrasekhar et al (2005Chandrasekhar et al ( , 2006, Gonçalves & Bergmann (2007), Pauletto et al (1990) and Prasad & Pandey (2012). Undoubtedly, the fraction of each cation in the form of base, salt or adsorbed to negative charges of solids present in the ash varies between the materials.…”

SUMMARYRice husk ash (RHA) is a by-product from the burning of rice husk that can have favorable effects on the soil in terms of acidity correction. The objectives of this study were to determine the effective calcium carbonate equivalent (ECC) of RHA under field conditions, and establish technical criteria as a basis for estimating the overall ECC of RHA. The 12 treatments of the experiment consisted of 10 RHA dosages (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140 Mg ha -1 ) and two references, one of which was an absolute control (AC) and the other a plot limed and fertilized according to official recommendations (recommended fertilization -RF). The soil was sampled twice (15 and 210 days after incorporating RHA), in the layers 0.00-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m, to determine the pH(H 2 O) and base saturation (V%). The ECC and neutralizing value (NV) of RHA were also determined. The results showed that RHA neutralizes soil acidity, in a faster reaction than conventional limestone, despite a low ECC (around 3 %).Index terms: acidity correction, neutralizing value, effective calcium carbonate equivalent. RESUMO: CINZA DE CASCA DE ARROZ COMO CORRETIVO DE ACIDEZ DO SOLOA cinza de casca de arroz (CCA) é produzida a partir da queima da casca de arroz proveniente dos processos de beneficiamento, podendo apresentar efeitos favoráveis sobre a correção da acidez no solo. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram quantificar o poder relativo de neutralização total (PRNT) da CCA em condições de campo e elaborar critérios técnicos que sirvam de base para a estimativa do PRNT das CCAs em geral. O experimento foi constituído por 12 tratamentos compostos por 10 dosagens de CCA equivalentes a 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 e 140 Mg ha -1 e duas referências, sendo uma testemunha absoluta (TA) e outra com calagem e adubação recomendada (AR). Foram realizadas duas amostragens de solo aos 15 e 210 dias, após a incorporação da CCA, nas camadas de 0,00-0,10 e 0,10-0,20 m para a determinação do pH(H 2 O), e da saturação por bases (V%). Também foram determinados o PRNT e o poder de neutralização (PN) da CCA. Os resultados evidenciaram que a cinza de casca de arroz atua como corretivo de acidez de solo, reagindo mais rápido que o calcário convencional, mas apresentando PRNT baixo, da ordem de 3 %.Termos de indexação: correção de acidez, poder de neutralização, poder relativo de neutralização total.
