Synopsis

A study on the amelioration of soil acidity for ananas comosus L. cultivated on bris soil was conducted in pot and also in the field using Rhudua series soil. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. This involved application of Ground Magnesium Limestone (GML) to neutralize the acidity of sandy soil. GML was applied in four equal split doses at six different rates of 0, 0.5, 2, 4, 8 and 10 Mgha-1. The results showed positive effect on soil pH (H2O); P, Ca and Mg concentrations in the soil; Ca, Mg and Cu concentration in the plants, all parameter growth and fruit parameters, yield and fruit quality.
