Abstract
Compared with traditional liming practice, applying alternative sources of lime in bands with organic manure reduces leaching from coarse-textured Sod-podzolic soil: lime by almost six times, soluble organics and nitrate by 1.8 and 2.9 times, respectively. In Podzolised chernozem, the same amelioration technology increases the population of earthworms and microorganisms, thereby activating self-renewing and regulating processes. Perennial grasses, legumes and Sudan grass are effective phyto-ameliorants; their beneficial effects manifest through resilient soil aggregates and the accumulation of organic matter.
