Lim<strong>in</strong>g is commonly used to <strong>in</strong>crease acid soil pH <strong>in</strong> SW France. Three alkal<strong>in</strong>e materials,<br />
i.e. calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 , 3.8 and 15.9 t/ha), coal bottom ash (CBA, 7.8 and 30.4<br />
t/ha) and coal fly ash (CFA, 7.1 and 17.1 t/ha) were <strong>in</strong>corporated <strong>in</strong>to a humic podzol (P)<br />
and a luvisol (L) <strong>in</strong> field experiments. Depend<strong>in</strong>g on soil conditioners, pH <strong>in</strong> year 1.5<br />
<strong>in</strong>creased <strong>from</strong> 4.6 to 5.3-6.7 <strong>in</strong> soil P and rose <strong>from</strong> 5.3 to 5.5-6.4 <strong>in</strong> soil L. The CaCO 3 ,<br />
CBA, and CFA <strong>in</strong>puts of As were 7.3-30, 365-1417, and 302-722 g/ha <strong>in</strong> Soil P and 1.1-<br />
3.7, 351-501, and 90-206 g/ha <strong>in</strong> Soil L. W<strong>in</strong>ter wheat, maize, cabbage, celeriac, French<br />
bean, leek, lettuce, potatoes, turnip and carrots were cultivated and harvest at market stage.<br />
Potato tubers, roots of turnip and carrots were pealed prior to be oven-dried. Weighed<br />
aliquots of plant materials were wet-digested under microwaves <strong>with</strong> HNO 3 /H 2 O 2 . Arsenic<br />
concentrations were determ<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>with</strong> GFAAS (Zeeman effect). Yields of edible plant parts<br />
were higher for lettuce, celeriac, carrots, and French beans <strong>in</strong> soil L. At high level, CBA<br />
affected yields of lettuce (soil P) and carrot (soil L) whereas CFA decreased yields of leek<br />
(soil P) and French beans (soil L). Arsenic concentrations (
