Long-Term Trail about liming and No-tillage for Sugarcane crop System

Objective
With the object to study the interaction between rates limes and soil manegements in sugarcane crop system
Description
Four rates of lime (0, 2, 4, and 6 tonnes per hectares) were applied on soil surface in the no-tillage and incorporated in the conventional treatment. The renovation of old ratoon was done in 1998, 2003, 2008 and 2018 with cultivation of soybean as cash crop. Agronomic and technological characteristics were evaluated for soybean , cane plant and ratoons, as well as, samples as soil were collected to chemical and physical attributes. The current sugarcane crop was planted by pre sprouted bud methods
