Applying lime is a fundamental practice for abating acidity in highly weathered soil, but better management strategies for no-till systems are needed to prevent surface pH elevation with little to no subsurface effects. This study was conducted to quantify chemical changes within the soil profile in response to lime and straw applications under both greenhouse and field conditions. Four controlled environment experiments (soil columns) and one field study were conducted on soils classified as Rhodic Hapludox and Rhodic Eutrodox. The soil column experiments evaluated four lime rates (0, 3.9, 7.8, or 15.6 Mg ha(-1)) and four straw rates (0, 4, 12 and 16 Mg ha(-1)) either individually or in combination. Lime treatments were surface applied or incorporated in the top 5-cm, while straw treatments were incorporated in the top 5-cm. In the field, lime rates of 0, 8.3 and 33.2 Mg ha(-1) were incorporated into the 0 to 10-cm depth in both a soybean [Glycine max] monoculture and diversified cropping system with white oat (Avena sativa), soybean, black oats (Avena strigosa), corn (Zea mays) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). Both field and soil columns studies showed minimal lime movement into the soil profile with chemical changes being limited to 2.5-cm below where it was applied or incorporated regardless of cropping system. Surface application of high lime rates promoted chemical stratification resulting in dramatic increases in topsoil pH and exchangeable Ca and Mg levels with minimal mitigation of subsurface soil acidity. Other studies also suggest that lime movement into the soil profile can vary depending on the experimental condition. Therefore, additional investigations across a wider geographic area, greater range of weather and climatic conditions, methods and rates of lime application need to be conducted to improve lime recommendation for high weathered soil managed using no-till practices.
