The correction of soil acidity and fertility maintenance are essential factors to enhance the productive potential of crops. However, failures have been recurrent during the application process of these correctives and nutrients. This is due to poorly adjusted equipment problems, products to be applied with very heterogeneous physical characteristics and even to planning failures. This work had the objective of evaluating the influence of the humidity of two limestones on the distribution to the haul in centrifugal distributor equipment. The experiment will be conducted in an area of agricultural production in the West of Paraná, was used tractor-distributor of correctives and fertilizers with distributor of centrifugal discs. Prior tests were performed with calcitic limestone for profile adjustment, and two types of limestone, calcitic and dolomitic, were evaluated in four moisture contents each, applied in fixed rate and constant velocity. The analyzes were in a 2x4 factorial scheme with five replicates for each sample. The coefficients of variation of the transverse profile in the fixed and variable width application range were determined in three working systems. It was also demonstrated the coefficient of variation of the longitudinal profile, in addition to the characterization of limestones, such as angle of repose, density, gravimetric humidity and grain size, as well as the environmental conditions at the time of the test. It was concluded that the moisture content of the limestones varied over time, the density of the limestones in the moisture content and the rest angle were the same. With the increase of the moisture content of limestones, it is possible to increase working width, since it is also possible to increase the CV% of the transversal profile. The lower CV% of the transversal profile reduced the width of the applied strip of the two limestones. In the longitudinal application profile, the greater the distance from the center of the applied range, the higher the CV% of the product deposited at the ends of the dolomitic limestone regardless of the moisture content.
