The objective of the present work was to study the soil solution throughout time in pots under greenhouse conditions. The work consisted of monitoring the solution of calcareous soil and forest soil in the absence of plants, with different types of fertilization: treatment 1: absolute control (irrigation water): treatment 2: Steiner nutrient solution: treatment 3: solid fertilizers: and treatment 4: vermicompost tea (aqueous extract). The samples were collected weekly using lysimeters for 14 weeks. They were analyzed to determine the nitrate content, total nitrogen, calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, sulfur, zinc, boron, pH, electrical conductivity, and oxide-reduction potential. To understand the interactions between treatments, soil type, and time over ion behavior and availability, linear and polynomial models were used, selected by a cross-validation method, which resulted in robust models, where it was found that the pH behavior is associated with the type of fertilization and soil type, with the elapsed time being a nonsignificant factor. On the other hand, time influenced the dynamics of the remaining ions and their availability. It was found that the multiple polynomial model fit better for the variables: potassium, calcium, sodium (square degree), electrical conductivity, nitrates, sulfur (cubic degree), zinc, oxidation-reduction potential, nitrogen, magnesium, and boron (quartic degree).
