Changes in Soil Phosphorus Pools and Chemical Properties under Liming in Nitisols of Farawocha, South Ethiopia

Table 4

Effects of lime on soil pH and exchangeable acidity.

Lime rate (t/ha)	pH (H2O)	Exchangeable acidity (cmol(+)/kg)
0	4.55 d	4.18 a
5.25	5.38 c	0.73 b
10.5	6.09 b	0.23 c
15.75	6.60 a	0.23 c
LSD 0.05	0.04	0.11
CV %	0.38	4.10

LSD 0.05: least significant difference at the 5% level; CV: coefficient of variation. Means in the column followed by the same letters are not significantly different at the 5% level of significance.
