“…Therefore, the combination of both soil amendments was considered a viable technique to improve the productivity capacity of acid tropical soils managed under conservative practices. According Bossolani et al (2018), grain yield is positively influenced by the reapplication of lime and gypsum, and the combination of the lime dose of 3243 kg ha -1 with gypsum doses between 1500 and 3000 kg ha -1 provides the highest yield for corn sole crop (8568 kg ha -1 ). However, corn intercropped with palisade grass, associated with similar lime and gypsum dose (3031 and 1500-3000 kg ha -1 , respectively), promoted better soil conditions and consequently higher corn nutrition, resulting in higher grain yield (11,237 kg ha -1 ), that is, 23.75% increase compared to corn sole crop.…”

“…gypsum surface application is an important strategy to circumvent these limits due to the higher solubility of gypsum, being an effective strategy to increase the vertical movement of exchangeable bases in the rooting zone under NT system (Nora and Amado 2013;Nora et al 2017b). In addition, the alleviation of subsoil acidity can promote greater root development of crop species, increasing the plants' tolerance to water stress during dry spells, allowing high yields to be achieved (Caires et al 2001;Bossolani et al 2018).…”

In tropical integrated crop-livestock under no-till (NT) systems, the surface application/reapplication of lime and/or gypsum can reduce re-acidification rate of the soil and improve plant nutrition, crop yields, and profitability. This study was conducted in the Brazilian Cerrado, which has dry winters, and aimed to evaluate the effects of surface application/ reapplication of lime and/or gypsum on soil improvement, plant nutrition and crop yield improvement, as well as the forage dry matter (DM) yield, estimated meat production, and economic results. The crop rotation used between November 2004 and August 2008 was as follows: peanut (Arachis hypogaea) and white oat (Avena sativa) cultivated alone (on the first and second spring/summer and autumn/winter, respectively) and corn (Zea mays) intercropped with palisade grass [Urochloa brizantha cv. 'Marandu'] and pasture (on the third and fourth spring/summer and autumn/winter, respectively). The experimental design was a randomized block with four replications. The treatments consisted of natural conditions of a sandy clay loam kaolinitic and thermic Typic Haplorthox (control) and the surface application of lime and/or gypsum in October 2002 and reapplication in November 2004. Surface liming was an efficient practice for increasing pH and reducing the exchangeable acidity (H ? Al) and concentration of Al extending to a depth of 0.60 m. Gypsum application increased Ca 2? levels through the soil profile. Liming (with or without gypsum) had a positive effect on the nutrient acquisition by peanut, white oat, and corn crops, producing on average 48%, 52%, and 61% more pod and grain yield, respectively, than that obtained in the absence of soil amendments and with gypsum

“…Agricultural repurposing of TM as a Si-Mg fertilizer efficiently increased the levels of these elements in both the soil and maize leaves, particularly at the highest dose, as confirmed by PCA. Mg is considered a "forgotten" element in agriculture [44,45], and almost all Mg applied for agriculture comes from liming [46][47][48]. Thus, by-products such as TM provide a sustainable alternative for supplying Mg for cropping systems [12].…”

This study explores whether Thermomagnesium (TM), a by-product of Ni ore mining, is an efficient fertilizer for maize. The effects of TM on soil pH, the supply of Si and Mg to the soil and plants, carbohydrate metabolism, grain filling, and yield were assessed in two simultaneous experiments performed in greenhouse conditions. Five TM doses were applied to two soil textures—clayey (0, 55, 273, 709, and 2018 mg kg−1) and sandy (0, 293, 410, 645, and 1260 mg kg−1). In general, the best results in soil and maize plants occurred at the highest TM dose for both soil textures (clayey 2018 mg kg−1 and sandy 1260 mg kg−1). The results demonstrated that in both soils, the concentrations of Mg and Si in the maize leaves increased with the dose of TM, similarly to that which occurred in the soil. Interestingly, in clayey soil, the soil pH increased linearly, whereas in sandy soil, the pH reached its maximum value between the two largest TM doses. The concentration of reducing sugars increased at the highest TM dose, whereas the concentrations of sucrose and starch decreased. The enhancement of carbohydrate partitioning led to higher maize growth, grain filling, and yield. Overall, the results clearly demonstrate that TM is a sustainable alternative fertilizer for maize and can be used for countless other crops and soil classifications, thus providing a suitable destination for this by-product of Ni ore mining.

“…6). The soybean grain yield improvements can be attributed to increased soil profile fertility and long-term residual effects of lime, contributing to higher nutrients uptake by plants (Bossolani et al 2018;Carmeis Filho et al 2017a, b;Fageria and Nascente 2014;Tiritan et al 2016). Finally, the combined results of RDA and network also showed positive correlations between nutritional parameters and grain yield, showing that the nutritional diagnosis is an important tool when attempting to maintain highly productive crop systems (Ferreira et al 2001;Tiritan et al 2016).…”

“…Most previous studies on surface lime applications have been short-term investigations, which has led to contradictory results (Holland et al 2018;Roth and Pavan 1991). However, NT systems, combined with crop rotation programs, can increase surface liming efficiency (Bossolani et al 2018;Tiritan et al 2016). No-tillage systems can also support a large number of different crops and soil productive capacity is high.…”

Tropical and subtropical soils are characterized by low natural fertility. Therefore, further research needs to be undertaken to increase surface liming efficiency, improve soil quality, and promote crop development. The low solubility of lime has hampered acidity correction in deeper layers, particularly if a no-tillage system is used. However, surface liming efficiency can be improved if efficient crop rotation programs are implemented. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of lime doses on soil fertility and the cascading effects of these changes in soybean nutrition and productivity after maize monocrop or intercropped with palisade grass during three growing seasons. In a long-term experiment (started in 2019), soybean was cultivated under four lime doses (0, 2000, 4000, and 6000 kg ha −1) applied to soil surface in two crop systems (after maize monocrop or intercropped maize with palisade grass) during three consecutive agricultural years (2016-2019). Liming reduced soil acidic parameters and increased P, Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , and S-SO 4 2− availability down the soil profile, which improved soybean nutrition and grain yield, particularly when it followed intercropped maize. Intercropping exploits species complementarities, which results in increasing the effectiveness of surface liming under no-tillage systems, contributing to higher soybean yields in crop rotation.
