AB  - The experiment tests the effects of four different amounts of lime (creating a soil pH range for approximately 4.5 to 7.5) with and without fertilizer P, on the grain mineral composition of three arable crops. The site is a silty clay loam soil at Rothamsted Experimental Farm, from 1962-1996. The dataset contains grain mineral composition for 20 different minerals (mg/kg dry soil), for individual plots, measured in 1978, 1981  and 1995. It includes details  of the lime and fertilizer treatments, and crop yield.  





There was a parallel experiment on a sandy loam soil at Woburn Experimental Farm. This experiment was under grass from 1997-2019 and no treatments were applied. In April 2019 the experiment was revived, and is currently being used to investigate the effect of different lime, P and Zn treatments on macro and micro nutrient uptake of wheat varieties. For more details contact Dr SM Haefele.  



This dataset was partially funded by the BBSRC Institute Strategic Programme Soil to Nutrition (BBS/E/C/000I0310).
