Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the “Influence of different sources of liming materials on root characteristics of maize grown in acid soil of Odisha†in the village Bajpur of Khorda district during kharif, 2013. The soil was ameliorated with three different sources of liming materials i.e paper mill sludge, stromatolyte & calcium silicate added with soil test based recommended dose with or without FYM. The application of liming sources alone increases the root length, dry weight, volume and density up to 53 cm, 9.80 g, 50 cc and 0.20 g/cc respectively but the application of liming materials with organic manure increases the root length, dry weight, volume and density more as compare to the lone sources of liming materials i.e 62 cm, 16.56 g, 100 cc and 0.22 g/cc respectively. The application of PMS @ 0.1 LR with STD & FYM increases the root dry weight and root volume more as compare to all other treatments but the application of ST @ 0.2 LR with STD & FYM increases the root length and root density more as compare to all other treatments. The double dose of stromatolyte @ 0.2 LR gives better result and increases the root length, dry weight, volume and density more compare to the single dose @ 0.1 LR. The absolute control gives the very less in root length, dry weight, volume and density among all the treatments. The soil test based recommended dose alone gives the higher result over absolute control.
