The effect of tillage system (NT-no tillage; CT-conventional tillage; MT-minimum tillage; and NT/scarification, every three years) on soybean nutrient availability and yield was evaluated on Oxisol after 12 years of cultivation. Soil samples were collected at depths of 0.00-0.05, 0.05-0.10, and 0.10-0.20 m and were analyzed for P, K, Ca, Mg, carbon (C), organic matter (OM), pH value, potential CEC, base saturat...
The effect of liming on the availability of micronutrients to soybean cultivated during different numbers of years under no tillage (NT) was investigated. The treatments consisted of the number of years under NT (three, six, and nine years) and five rates of lime (0, 33, 67 and 100% of the amount calculated to raise soil base saturation to 70%) broadcast on soil surface plus the rate of 100% broadcast with inco...
Effect of adding organic residues to soil in ammonia losses by volatilization due to urea application is evaluated, together with autoclaving at 120°C, at 1 atm, during two hours. Samples of Ap surface of structured eutrophic dark red latisol (Rhodic Kanhapludalf, clay texture) from the municipality of Piracicaba SP Brazil, were used. Autoclaving delayed the peak of losses and increased loss of ammonia up to 56...
