Two rates of calcium from two sources (calcium carbonate and calcium chloride) were surfaceapplied to established pasture at two sites in Price County over 2 years. Crop yields, forage tissue tests, soil test levels, earthworm populations, and soil microbial respiration were measured for the calcium treatments and control plots (no calcium added) at each site.
