AB [EN] Liming is a common practice used to improve acidic soil properties, as is essential foragricultural quality. A long-term field experiment with one lime rate (6000 kg/ha of carbonatecalcium equivalent) and three calcium-based liming amendments (gypsum, limestone and sugarfoam) was maintained on a Typic Palexerult for 10 years in order to determine changes in soil acidityand to assess the effects on crop (rye) yields. The soil acidity conditions decreased with all theamendments tested, but the sugar foam and limestone was more effective than gypsum over along-term period. No significant changes in organic soil matter levels between the treatments testedwere found. Interestingly, an increase in the leaching of organic soil matter was observed in limedsoils. Lime application significantly increased the total rye biomass compared to the control soilsduring the whole experiment (2002–2011). Yield trends observed in spike and stem biomass weresimilar to those reported for total rye biomass. In this respect, at the end of the research, gypsum,limestone and sugar foam increased in relation to the total production of rye biomass by 16%, 32%and 38%, respectively, as compared to the control soils. Additionally, a significant and prolongeddifference in calcium concentrations in rye stems between unlimed and limed subplots was observed.However, in spite of the results presented here, further investigations are needed to gain a betterunderstanding of the long-term effects of liming on the chemical properties of soil.
