Características químicas de solo cultivado com soja e irrigado com água residuária da suinocultura Chemical characteristics of the soil cultivated with soybean and irrigated with swine wastewater

Neste trabalho se avaliou a distribuição "in situ" de fósforo (P), matéria orgânica (MO), potássio (K), cálcio (Ca), magnésio (Mg), capacidade de troca catiônica (T), alumínio (Al), soma de bases (S), saturação por bases (V) e do pH, em um solo cultivado com soja irrigada com água residuária proveniente da suinocultura (ARS), com níveis de concentração de 0, 25, 50 e 75%. Constituiu-se um esquema fatorial a partir dos quatros níveis de concentração da ARS, das profundidades de 20, 40 e 60 cm com cinco repetições. Os resultados encontrados demonstraram diferenças significativas apenas para P, K e T no perfil do solo. Para todas as características na profundidade de 60 cm, os respectivos níveis de concentração estiveram bastante próximos aos níveis iniciais, ou seja, antes da aplicação dos tratamentos.<br>In this work the distribution was evaluated "in situ" of phosphorus (P), organic matter (MO), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), cation exchange capacity (CEC), aluminum (Al), sum of bases (S), base saturation (V) and pH of a soil cultivated with soybean and irrigated with swine wastewater in the 0, 25, 50 and 75% levels. The factorial scheme was constituted by the 20, 40 and 60 cm soil depths and four wastewater levels with five repetitions. The results showed that significant difference occurred only for P, K and CEC in the soil profile. However, in all parameters, the 60 cm soil depth showed that the concentrations levels are similar to before the aplication of treatments

Changes in soil acidity and organic carbon in a sandy typic hapludalf after medium-term pig-slurry and deep-litter application

Successive applications of liquid swine waste to the soil can increase the contents of total organic carbon and nutrients and change acidity-related soil chemical properties. However, little information is available on the effects of swine waste application in solid form, as of swine deep-litter. The objective of this study was to evaluate alterations of organic carbon and acidity-related properties of a soil after eight years of pig slurry and deep-litter application. In the eighth year of a field experiment established in Braço do Norte, Santa Catarina (SC) on a sandy Typic Hapludalf samples were taken (layers 0-2.5; 2.5-5; 5-10; 10-15; 15-20 and 20-30 cm) from unfertilized plots and plots with pig slurry or deep-litter applications, providing the simple or double rate of N requirement of Zea mays and Avena strigosa in rotation. Soil total organic carbon, water pH, exchangeable Al, Ca and Mg, and cation exchange capacity (CECeffective and CECpH7.0), H+Al, base saturation, and aluminum saturation were measured. The application of pig slurry and deep-litter for eight years increased total organic carbon and CEC in all soil layers. The pig slurry and deep-litter applications reduced active acidity and aluminum saturation and increased base saturation down to a depth of 30 cm. Eight years of pig slurry application did not affect soil acidity
