ABSTRACT

Phosphorus (P) is one of the nutrients that most limits agricultural productivity, especially in tropical soils. Enriched biochar has been proposed to increase the bioavailability of P and other nutrients in the soil. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the availability of P in phosphate biochar (composed of biomass and soil) as a function of the triple superphosphate mixture before and after the pyrolysis process. We produced eight types of enriched biochar via pyrolysis by combining sandy or clayey soil with rice or coffee husk, and by adding triple superphosphate before or after pyrolysis. The heating of the phosphate fertilizer during the pyrolysis process resulted in a higher crystallinity of the phosphates, lower content of labile fractions of P and lower content of available P in phosphate biochars than when the superphosphate was added after pyrolysis.

ABSTRACT

The expansion of the agricultural frontier into different geological environments in the west of the state of Pará, northern Brazil, makes it necessary to know the influence of the parent material on local soil attributes. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different parent materials on five soil profiles along a lithosequence exposed by the BR-163 highway, which runs from north to south through western Pará. The soils were classified, morphologically described and their main horizons sampled for physical, mineralogical and chemical analyses, including the determination of micronutrients, forms of phosphorus and secondary forms of iron. Multivariate analysis was used to group the different soil-parent material associations. The results demonstrated that the diversity of the parent material was a determinant of soil attributes, and was a conditioning factor for the formation of different clay minerals. Multivariate analysis grouped the soils along the lithosequence into a group formed by profiles derived from basic and intermediate igneous rocks, and a second group consisting of profiles derived from sediments and sedimentary rocks. The profile derived from acidic igneous rock showed greater similarity with the profiles derived from sedimentary materials in comparison to those derived from other igneous rocks.


A expansão da fronteira agrícola em diferentes ambientes geológicos no oeste do Estado do Pará, norte do Brasil, torna necessário conhecer a influência do material de origem sobre os atributos dos solos locais. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência de diferentes materiais de origem sobre cinco perfis de solo ao longo de uma litosequência exposta pela rodovia BR-163, que vai de norte a sul pelo oeste do Pará. Os solos foram classificados, morfologicamente descritos e seus principais horizontes amostrados para análises físicas, mineralógicas e químicas, incluindo a determinação de micronutrientes, formas de fósforo e formas secundárias de ferro. Análises multivariadas foram usadas para agrupar as diferentes associações solo-material de origem. Os resultados demonstraram que a diversidade do material de origem foi determinante para os atributos do solo, sendo um fator condicionante para a formação de diferentes argilominerais. A análise multivariada agrupou os solos ao longo da litosequência em um grupo formado por perfis derivados de rochas ígneas básicas e intermediárias, e um segundo grupo constituído por perfis derivados de sedimentos e rochas sedimentares. O perfil derivado de rocha ígnea ácida apresentou maior similaridade com os perfis derivados de materiais sedimentares em comparação àqueles derivados de outras rochas ígneas.

ABSTRACT

A formação de Latossolos com horizonte A húmico (Lhs) no Nordeste é relativamente rara e, geralmente, está associada a ambientes altimontanos, distinguindo-se da região semiárida circundante. Devido a isso, estes solos são intensamente utilizados e importantes para a economia regional. O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar Lhs da região Nordeste, bem como avaliar os mecanismos envolvidos no acúmulo do carbono orgânico (CO) em profundidade, visando a determinação da aptidão agrícola para o uso e manejo adequado do solo. O trabalho foi conduzido no município de Brejão, Agreste do Estado de Pernambuco. Foi realizada a caracterização morfológica, física, química e mineralógica de quatro perfis de Latossolos com horizonte A húmico, sob diferentes sistemas de uso da terra (vegetação nativa, capoeira, cultivo e pastagem), com a avaliação da aptidão agrícola e da variação do CO em profundidade. Os solos foram classificados como LATOSSOLOS AMARELOS Distrocoesos húmicos, textura argilosa, todos com horizonte A húmico maior que 100 cm. Todos os perfis apresentaram acidez elevada, alta saturação por alumínio, baixa capacidade de troca de cátions (CTC), caráter coeso e fração argila essencialmente caulinítica. O teor de CO foi alto, independente do uso do solo, e se correlacionou fortemente em profundidade com a argila dispersa, CTC, N e P. A distribuição do CO em profundidade foi favorecida pelos menores teores de argila e pela associação com as formas de Fe pouco cristalinas. A aptidão agrícola das terras enquadrou-se no grupo 2, ou seja, aptidão boa para lavouras de ciclo curto e/ou longo com práticas agrícolas com um médio e alto nível tecnológico. No entanto, essa aptidão é restrita quando utilizado baixo nível tecnológico em razão da exigência de elevadas doses de fertilizantes e corretivos.


The occurrence of Oxisols with a humic A horizon (Lhs) in Northeast Brazil is relatively rare and, generally associated with mountainous environments, quite different from the surrounding semiarid region. Therefore, these soils are intensely used and important for the regional economy. The aim of this study was to characterize the Lhs from Northeast, and assess the mechanisms involved in the accumulation of organic carbon in depth, in order to determine suitability agricultural and use and adequate soil management. The work was carried out in Brejão municipality, Agreste region of Pernambuco State, Brazil. Morphological, physical, chemical and mineralogical properties were determined in four soil profiles, under different management systems (native forest, secondary forest, traditional cropping system and planted pasture), with the assessment of agricultural suitability and variation of organic carbon (OC) in depth, and soil properties were correlated with the soil OC content in depth. All studied soils were classified as Humic Haplustox, with humic A horizon thicker than 100 cm. Furthermore, the soils showed high acidity and aluminum saturation, low cation exchange capacity (CTC), cohesive character and a kaolinitic clay fraction. The values of soil density were inversely correlated with the organic matter content. The OC was considered high, despite the management system. The variation of the OC with depth was strongly correlated with disperse clay, CTC, N and P. The OC distribution with depth was favored by smaller amounts of clay and by the association with poor crystalline Fe compounds. The agricultural suitability from soils framed up in group 2, good suitability for short cycle crops and/or long with agricultural practices with medium and high technological level. However, this ability is restricted when used low technological level due to the high demand for fertilizers and corrective.
