Abstract
The influence of liming and phosphorus application (in the range to 20 t of hydrated lime and to 480 kg P2O5/ha, respectively) on the status of plant available Fe was studied in acid soil of East Croatia. Due to application of the highest rate of line, Fe content in soil decreased from 34.1 ppm (unlimed plot) to 14.1 ppm Fe. At the same time, titratable acidity decreased from 16.0 to 1.5 raequ/100 g of soil and exchangeable acidity from 3.0 to 0.1 mequ/100 g of soil, while soil pH in KCl increased from 4.03 to 5.42. Phosphorus application did not significantly affect these soil characteristics.
