Effect of burnt lime on water regime of a soil formed on volcanic ashes in Southern Chile (Trumao) A dystrandept of the south of Chile was mixed with 5% in weight CaO. The variation in water balance of limed and unlimed samples of this soil was studied. The liming provokes a disminution in the evaporation. The surface of the limed soil drys very rapidly, in relation to its unlimed equivalent, in such a way that it serves as a transpiration barrier. The decrease in the water loss favourably influenced growth of lettuce plants.
