This study evaluated the potential of olivine melilitite rock powder with different particle sizes and rates to improve soil chemical properties, and the growth and nutrient accumulation of soybean and sorghum plants. It was found that the filler particle size was more effective than the powder in improving soil chemical properties and promoting plant growth and nutrient accumulation.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential of olivine melilitite rock powder. in two particle sizes and in increasing rates, to improve the chemical properties of the soil and the growth and nutrient accumulation of soybean (Glycine max) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) plants. The treatments consisted of three rates of the rock powder, equivalent to 2.5, 5.0, and 10 Mg ha(-1), in the powder and filler particle sizes of the commercial product. Physicochemical and mineralogical analyses were carried out using, as a basis, the Brazilian normative ruling on rock powder as a soil remineralizer. The soybean and sorghum plants were cultivated for 60 and 45 days, respectively, in a greenhouse on a Humic Dystrudept and a Typic Hapludult. The olivine melilitite rock powder applied in the tested increasing rates and two particle sizes improved soil chemical properties and promoted plant growth. However, the filler particle size is more efficient than that of the powder to improve soil chemical properties and plant growth and nutrient accumulation.
