Abstract

In this paper, the use of phosphorus and lime in corn and wheat production in the Cerrado region of Central Brazil was analysed by using production functions and internal rates of return in two price factor situations: a market price factor and a subsidized price factor. Experimental data was obtained from experiments conducted at the Centro de Pesquisa Agropecuária dos Cerrados (CPAC).
