Abstract

In Podkarpackie province excessive and persistent soil acidification is acknowledged to be the main problem of agricultural production, so that is why liming is indispensable in most farms. Such a process will result in the improvement of efficiency of plant production and in diminishing of unfavourable phenomena being the effect of excessive soil acidity. The obtained data confirm that the consumption of lime fertilizers in the Podkarpackie province has not improved. Considerable amounts of usable soils especially in Bieszczadzki and Leski poviats need systematic liming of various intensity.
