​​How do Brazil soils work?

"The opposite of Minnesota soils"
Picture
There are many factors that go into determining Brazil's
soils PH level.

Everything I learned in soils class in Minnesota is
useless here.

There are many metals in Brazil's acidy soil.
Many variables go into the P&K ratios combined with lime or calcario to balance the soil and yet make nutrients available to the plants. 

This graph gives idea to the complexity.
