Abstrakt: SUMMARY The effect of four lime levels and of five ratios of Ca: Mg on nodulation, nitrogen fixation and yield of soyabean var. UFV-1 was studied under greenhouse conditions, using a Typic Haplorthox soil. Dry matter production of top growth was relatively constant for soil Ca: Mg ratios ranging from 0.26: 1 to 24: 1 and a similar production level was sustained for A1 saturation values from 0 to 43%. Nodulation (number and dry weight of nodules) increased with increasing A1 saturation from 0 to 43%. The greatest increase was observed when Al saturation was raised from 0 to 2 or 3%. The N accumulated in the shoots, decreased with the increase in the percent A1 saturation, showing that the largest number of nodules does not necessarily result in greatest accumulation of N in shoots.
