Abstract
A 2-year study on acid dome bogs has shown that 9 tons of agricultural limestone was preferable to 3 tons for onions and carrots. Yields of potatoes were not increased with lime applications above 3 tons per acre under the conditions of this test.Increments in lime application increased soil pH and available phosphorus and decreased the exchangeable potassium.Increments in lime application reduced the total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium present in the plant tissue at time of sampling and increased calcium. Magnesium was not affected.Unless adequate lime is applied, high quantities of fertilizer may be detrimental to plant growth.
