Liming Qualities of Three Cement Kiln Flue Dusts and a Limestone in a Greenhouse Comparison1

Colin W. Whittaker, C. J. Erickson, Katharine S. Love and Dorothy M. Carroll2

Synopsis: Three cement kiln flue dusts had about the same soil liming qualities as pulverized limestone. In cultures all receiving the same total amount of soluble potash, the dusts produced alfalfa yields on initially acid soils equal to or exceeding those produced by the limestone and had similar effects on soil pH, potassium and calcium contents of the crop, and on crop reduction through overliming.
