Split Application of Lime on Acid Soil Amelioration and Bread Wheat Yield at Dember, SNNPR Ethiopia
Abstract: Soil acidity is one of the most important yield-limiting factors for crop production in highlands areas where areas receive heavy rainfall. Liming of acidic soils has been suggested as a good measure to boost crop productivity in acidic soils. However, lime is not free or easy to obtain, require a large quantity, and its transportation is also difficult. Thus, a field trial was carried out in permanent plots to investigate …

Red Earth Development of a Soil-Based Composite Using Bagasse Ash and Lime: Effects on Plasticity and Compaction Characteristics of Red Earth
Abstract: The concept of sustainable soil composites (SSC) emerges through blending red earth with bagasse ash (BA) and hydrated lime to enhance geotechnical properties and enable productive reuse of agro-industrial waste. Red earth functions as the matrix, BA acts as a fine pozzolanic microfiller, and lime serves as the chemical binder. BA content ranges from 0% to 60%, with 10% identified as optimal; subsequent lime additions from 1% to 5% evaluate …
