Response of maize to
phosphorus fertiliser on an acid soil in Central Mindanao, Philippines.
Liming an acid, aluminium-toxic soil can greatly increase the growth of crop plants as in this case with sunflower.
The growth of soybean roots in solution is greatly
inhibited by a low Al concentration (L-R) 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 µM Al (40 µM
Al in solution is equivalent to approximately 1 part per million) (Blamey et
al. 1983. Soil Sci. 136, 197-207)
