Abstract
The effects and interactions between Ni and other metals were studied in a calcareous soil fertilized with sewage sludge. A modification of the bioavailability of essential metals determined in DTPA extracts at pH=7.3 and pH=5.3 was appreciated. In general, Fe and Mn were affecte d but specially Mn. A strong retention of Ni in the calcareous soil wa s observed diminishing the availability of the metal for plants.
