Emissão de CO2 do solo pela aplicação de fertilizantes orgânicos e minerais

Abstract – Swine production is fundamental in Brazil and it seeks suitable use for swine slurry (SS) in agricultural areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of SS and urea application, treated or not with nitrification inhibitor (DCD) and the way of fertilizer distribution, associated or not with crop residues, on CO2 emissions in a controlled environment. The soil used in this study was a Humic Dystrudept soil and daily and accumulated CO2 emissions were measured. Daily CO2 emissions increased with SS use. There was no difference considering the way the fertilizers were applied. The use of straw increased CO2 emissions. Accumulated CO2 emissions were higher under use of straw associated with SS.Resumo – A atividade suinícola tem grande importância no Brasil e, por isso, busca-se utilização adequada do dejeto líquido de suíno (DLS) em áreas agrícolas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da aplicação de DLS e ureia, tratados ou não com inibidor de nitrificação (DCD), e o modo de distribuição dos fertilizantes na presença e ausência de resíduos culturais sobre as emissões de CO2 em ambiente controlado. O solo utilizado para a condução do trabalho foi um Cambissolo Húmico, para avaliar as emissões diárias e acumuladas de CO2. As emissões diárias de CO2 aumentaram com a utilização de DLS. Não houve efeito relacionado ao modo de aplicação dos fertilizantes. A utilização de palhada aumentou as emissões de CO2. As emissões acumuladas de CO2 foram maiores nos tratamentos com a utilização de palha combinada ao uso de DLS.Abstract – Swine production is fundamental in Brazil and it seeks suitable use for swine slurry (SS) in agricultural areas.

Atributos químicos do solo em plantios florestais em substituição à vegetação nativa em campos de altitude

The planted forests using exotic trees are increasing areas and have replaced native vegetation in the southern Brazilian highlands, which can change the dynamics of soil nutrients. The objective was to evaluate the effects of the land use change on pH and total soil organic carbon (COT), Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+ contents on a Humic Dystrudept under plantations established in native grassland area. The land uses evaluated were pinus established in 1963 (P) and eucalyptus planted in 1991 (E), comparatively to adjacent areas of native grassland (NP), natural regeneration since 1990 (NR), and native forest (NF). Soil samples were collected at 0-5, 5-10 and 10-20 cm depth, in eight replicates for each land use to calculate means and confidence intervals (95%). In general, NP and NF showed the highest values of TOC. “P” stand compared to NP had lower TOC, Ca and K in the 0-10 cm layer, indicating negative effects of forest plantations in comparison with natural grassland in relation to carbon and nutrient cycling. NR area showed similar values of those properties in relation to NP and NF areas. Long-term evaluations are important to verify influences of forest plantations on soil properties and identify the sustainability of these land use forms.Os plantios de espécies florestais exóticas vêm aumentando em áreas cobertas por vegetação nativa na região nordeste do Rio Grande do Sul, o que pode alterar as dinâmicas dos nutrientes no solo. Dessa maneira, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos da mudança de uso da terra sobre pH e teores de carbono orgânico total (COT), Al3+, Ca2+, Mg2+ e K+ em Cambissolo Húmico, em plantios realizados em área de campo nativo. As áreas analisadas foram pinus plantado em 1963 (P) e eucalipto em 1991 (E), comparativamente a áreas adjacentes remanescentes: de campo nativo em regeneração natural a partir de 1990 (RN), mata nativa (MN) e campo nativo (CN). As amostras de solo foram coletadas nas profundidades de 0-5, 5-10 e 10-20 cm, em oito pontos para cada área avaliada, com cálculo de médias e intervalos de confiança (95%). Em geral, CN e MN apresentaram os maiores valores de COT. O plantio “P” apresentou em relação ao CN menores teores de COT, Ca e K na camada 0-10 cm, enquanto o plantio “E” apresentou menores teores de COT em relação ao CN, indicando efeitos negativos da floresta plantada em relação à vegetação natural campestre quanto à ciclagem de carbono e nutrientes. A área RN apresentou valores desses atributos similares aos do CN e MN. Avaliações em longo prazo são importantes para verificar influências do cultivo florestal sobre atributos do solo e identificar a sustentabilidade das formas de uso do solo

ORGANIC CARBON CONTENTS AND STOCKS IN PARTICLE SIZE FRACTIONS OF A TYPIC HAPLUDOX FERTILIZED WITH PIG SLURRY AND SOLUBLE FERTILIZER

The use of pig slurry (PS) as fertilizer can affect the soil quality and increase total stocks of soil organic carbon (TOC). However, the effects of PS on TOC amount and forms in the soil are not fully understood, particularly in areas under no-tillage (NT). The purpose of this study was to determine TOC contents and stocks in the particulate (POC) and mineral-associated C fractions (MAC) of an Oxisol after nine years of maize-oat rotation under NT, with annual applications of PS, soluble fertilizer and combined fertilization (pig slurry + soluble fertilizer). The experiment was initiated in 2001 in Campos Novos, Santa Catarina, with the following treatments: PS at rates of 0 (without fertilization - PS0); 25 (PS25); 50 (PS50); 100 (PS100); and 200 m3 ha-1yr-1 (PS200); fertilization with soluble fertilizer (SF); and mixed fertilization (PS + SF). The TOC content was determined in samples of six soil layers to a depth of 40 cm, and the POC and MAC contents in four layers to a depth of 20 cm. From the rate of 50 m3 ha-1yr-1 and upwards, the soil TOC content and stock increased according to the PS rates in the layers to a depth of 10 cm. The POC and MAC contents and stocks were higher in the surface layers, with a clear predominance of the second fraction, but a greater relative amplitude in the contents of the first fraction

Changes in physical properties and organic carbon of a Kandiudox fertilized with manure

ABSTRACT: Successive applications of pig slurry and poultry manure can improve the soil structure, according to the land use conditions and amounts applied. This study evaluated the effect of manure fertilization on the physical properties and organic carbon of a Rhodic Kandiudox. Treatments included land use and management and time of pig slurry and poultry litter application, namely: native forest (NF); yerba mate after 20 years of animal waste application (YM20); pasture after 15 years of application (P15); grassland after 20 years of manuring (PP20); grassland after 3 years of manuring (P3); pasture without application (P0), maize after 20 years of application (M20); and maize after 7 years of application (M7). Soil samples were collected in the 0-5, 5-10 and 10-20cm layers, in which density, porosity, aggregate stability, flocculation, penetration resistance, available water, and total clay content, total and particulate organic carbon, and C:N ratio were analyzed. The total organic carbon is sensitive to management and was not related to waste application, except in the 10-20cm layer of ryegrass pasture after three years of manuring. Reponses to waste application and land use and management systems were observed in the variables soil density and penetration resistance

Soil physical indicators of management systems in traditional agricultural areas under manure application

ABSTRACT Studies of the successive application of manure as fertilizer and its combined effect with long-term soil management systems are important to the identification of the interdependence of physical attributes. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in the physical properties of a Rhodic Kandiudox under management systems employing successive applications of pig slurry and poultry litter, and select physical indicators that distinguish these systems using canonical discriminant analysis (CDA). The systems consisting of treatments including land use, management and the application time of organic fertilizers are described as follows: silage maize under no-tillage (NT-M7 years); silage maize under conventional tillage (CT-M20 years); annual pasture with chisel plowing (CP-P3 years); annual pasture with chisel plowing (CP-P15 years); perennial pasture without tillage (NT-PP20 years); and no-tillage yerba mate (NT-YM20 years) and were compared with native forest (NF) and native pasture (NP). Soil samples were collected from the layers at the following depths: 0.0-0.05, 0.05-0.10, and 0.10-0.20 m, and were analyzed for bulk density, porosity, aggregation, flocculation, penetration resistance, water availability and total clay content. Canonical discriminant analysis was an important tool in the study of physical indicators of soil quality. Organic fertilization, along with soil management, influences soil structure and its porosity. Total porosity was the most important physical property in the distinction of areas with management systems and application times of manure for the 0.0-0.05 and 0.10-0.20 m layers. Soil aeration and micropores differentiated areas in the 0.05-0.10 m layer. Animal trampling and machinery traffic were the main factors inducing compaction of this clayey soil
