Use of Limestone and Gypsum in Tropical Pastures
摘要
Tropical soils are typically acidic and naturally low in fertility. In this context, implementing practices to correct soil acidity and neutralize the toxic effects of aluminum is essential for sustainable pasture management. This chapter highlights the benefits and importance of recommending liming and gypsum application for pastures, addressing the effects of calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S) deficiencies and the response of pastures to these soil corrective practices.
