A pot experiment was carried out during three (3) successive rice production cycles at Adiopodoum¨¦ to evaluate the response of the NERICA 5 rice accession to various doses of calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. The experiment was conducted using a randomized split-plot design. The interactive effects of calcium carbonate (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg·Ca·ha-1) and magnesium sulfate (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg·Mg·ha-1) and Togo natural phosphate (0, 25, 50 and 75 kg·P·ha-1) were determined at each production cycle. The results showed that single-dose natural phosphate supplementation for three cropping cycles resulted in an average enrichment of around 2 mg·P·kg-1 after each trial following its continuous dissolution, with an increase in DSP (33.31% to 70.52%). The study revealed one strategy for managing and enhancing native P with cations and another for exogenous P: there would be a synergy of Ca/Mg on native P, whereas an antagonism would characterize the two parameters in phosphate fertilization. %K Soil Acidity %K Native and Exogenous Phosphorus %K Free Iron %K Ca/Mg Balances %K Rice Growing %K C& %K ocirc %K te d¡¯Ivoire %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=130797
