摘要：

In tropical regions, crop yields generally decrease with time, partly due to a decline in the levels of exchangeable bases linked to acidification of the upper layers of the soil. Nitrogen, calcium and magnesium balances were studied on an oxisol in southern Togo under continuous maize cropping with mineral fertilization and crop residue return, by measuring inputs and outputs. The balance was near equilibrium for nitrogen (urea dressing, 120 kg N ha-1 y-1) and negative for calcium and magnesium. Leaching represented between 29% and 85% of the total output for nitrogen and accounted for practically all the calcium and magnesium outputs. In the upper horizons, nitrate, calcium and magnesium contents in the soil solution were correlated. This was interpreted as an exchange between the calcium and magnesium ions adsorbed on the soil and the protons released by the transformation of ammonium into nitrate. The nutrient content of the soil solution increased in the case of no potassium fertilization, probably because of a lower nitrogen immobilization by microorganisms, the crop residue yield being reduced by the induced deficiency. An insufficient potassium fertilization increases leaching losses of calcium, magnesium and nitrogen. In the deeper horizons, the nitrate content of the soil solution was not correlated with the calcium and magnesium contents. Nitrogen was probably taken up by roots and some calcium and magnesium ions exchanged during their transport through the soil.
