The study evaluated the application of agricultural lime and dolomite to remove heavy metals in corn soils in Juan Guerra, Tarapoto. A completely randomized block design with four treatments and three replicates was used, analyzing soil physicochemical properties and crop biometric parameters. The results showed that the application of 3.2 t ha⁻¹ of combined agricultural lime and dolomite allowed a removal of 93% of cadmium, 77% of lead and 97% of arsenic, standing out as the most effective treatment. In addition, a significant improvement was observed in soil pH, which increased from 6.36 to 7.62, as well as in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels. Corn under this treatment showed an average increase of 28% in plant height and 35% in stem thickness, compared to the control. It is concluded that the combination of agricultural lime and dolomite is an effective and sustainable strategy for the remediation of soils contaminated with heavy metals. This approach not only improves soil properties, but also optimizes corn crop yield, contributing to the development of sustainable agricultural practices in tropical regions. The findings have direct implications for food security and agricultural sustainability in areas affected by soil contamination.
