Phosphorus sources residual effects on Tifton 85 production and nutritive value cultivated in a tropical weathered soil / Efeito residual de fontes de fósforo na produção e valor nutricional do Tifton 85 cultivado em solo tropical

Acid reactions and low available phosphorus in tropical soils limit forage yield. The aim was to evaluate soil chemical characteristics pH, P and Mg, forage nutritive values, critical soil and plant P levels and the residual effect of each source. The experiment was in a greenhouse with a Rhodic Haplustox, loam texture. Experimental design was a 5 x 4 factorial with five replicates which phosphate fertilizers were triple superphosphate, reactive rock phosphates Gafsa and Arad, and fused magnesium phosphate powder and coarse, applied at rates of 30, 60, 90 and 120 mg kg-1 P and a control treatment without P. The effectiveness of rock phosphates increased due to their residual effect. The coarse fused magnesium phosphate resulted in the lowest efficiency. The P critical level in soil and plant were 18 mg kg-1 and 2.4 g kg-1, respectively. The increase of phosphorus rates provided an increase in crude protein content

Reações ácidas e baixo fósforo disponível em solos tropicais limitam a produção de forragem. O objetivo foi avaliar as características químicas do solo pH, P e Mg, valores nutritivos das forragens, níveis críticos de P no solo e nas plantas e o efeito residual de cada fonte. O experimento foi realizado em casa de vegetação com Latossolo vermelho distrófico, textura média. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualisado em fatorial 5 x 4, com cinco repetições cujos adubos fosfatados eram superfosfato triplo, fosfatos de rocha reativa Gafsa e Arad e fosfato de magnésio em pó e grosso, aplicados nas doses de 30, 60, 90 e 120 mg kg-1 de P e um tratamento controle sem P. A eficácia dos fosfatos rochosos aumentou devido ao seu efeito residual. O fosfato de magnésio fundido grosso resultou na menor eficiência. O nível crítico de P no solo e na planta foi de 18 mg kg-1 e 2,4 g kg-1, respectivamente. O aumento das taxas de fósforo proporcionou um aumento no teor de proteína bruta

Combinación de hongos movilizadores y solubilizadores de fósforo con rocas fosfóricas y materiales volcánicos para la promoción del crecimiento de plantas de lechuga (Lactuca sativa L.) / Combination of phosphorus solubilizing and mobilizing fungi with phosphate rocks and volcanic materials to promote plant growth of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Los hongos micorrícicos arbusculares (HMA) incrementan la toma de fosfatos solubles, mientras que los hongos solubilizadores de fósforo (S) promueven la solubilización de complejos insolubles de fosfato, en conjunto benefician la nutrición de las plantas. La utilización de estos organismos en combinación con minerales o rocas que aportan nutrientes es otra alternativa para mantener la productividad de los cultivos. El objetivo de este trabajo fue combinar HMA y S con materiales piroclásticos (cenizas y pumicitas) del volcán Puyehue y rocas fosfóricas (RP) del Grupo Río Chico (Chubut) y evaluar el desempeno de estas mezclas como sustratos para la producción en maceta de Lactuca sativa. Para formular los sustratos, se utilizó como base una mezcla de Terrafertil® con cenizas. Penicillium thomii fue el S y esporas del hongo Rhizophagus intraradices (AEGIS® Irriga) sirvieron de fuente del HMA. Se evaluaron diversas combinaciones de microorganismos y la adición o no de RP. Los tratamientos fueron: 1) sustrato; 2) sustrato + HMA; 3) sustrato + S; 4) sustrato + HMA + S; 5) sustrato: RP; 6) sustrato: RP + HMA; 7) sustrato: RP + S, y 8) sustrato: RP+ HMA + S. Se efectuaron 3 repeticiones por tratamiento. Los parámetros evaluados fueron el contenido de P total y asimilable en el sustrato, el P en el tejido vegetal y la biomasa seca. Todos ellos fueron significativamente mayores en las plantas que crecieron en el sustrato adicionado con RP e inoculadas con S y HMA. Este trabajo confirma que la combinación S/HMA con cenizas volcánicas del Puyehue y las RP del Grupo Río Chico formuladas con un sustrato comercial promueven el crecimiento de L. sativa. De este modo es posible incrementar el valor agregado de geomateriales de origen nacional.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) increase the uptake of soluble phosphates, while phosphorus solubilizing fungi (S) promote solubilization of insoluble phosphates complexes, favoring plant nutrition. Another alternative to maintaining crop productivity is to combine minerals and rocks that provide nutrients and other desirable properties. The aim of this work was to combine AMF and S with pyroclastic materials (ashes and pumices) from Puyehue volcano and phosphate rocks (PR) from Rio Chico Group (Chubut) - to formulate a substrate for the production of potted Lactuca sativa. A mixture of Terrafertil®:ashes was used as substrate. Penicillium thomii was the solubilizing fungus and Rhizophagus intraradices spores (AMF) was the P mobilizer (AEGIS® Irriga). The treatments were: 1) Substrate; 2) Substrate + AMF; 3) Substrate+S; 4) Substrate + AMF+ S; 5) Substrate: PR; 6) Substrate: PR + AMF; 7) Substrate: PR + S and 8) Substrate: PR + AMF + S. Three replicates were performed per treatment. All parameters evaluated (total and assimilable P content in substrate, P in plant tissue and plant dry biomass) were significantly higher in plants grown in substrate containing PR and inoculas with S and AMF. This work confirms that the combination of S/AMF with Puyehue volcanic ashes, PR from the Río Chico Group and a commercial substrate promote the growth of L. sativa, thus increasing the added value of national geomaterials.

En las últimas décadas, la agricultura colombiana se ha visto afectada por la reducción de la productividad en las zonas hortícolas, el incremento de los costos de producción y la dependencia del uso de productos químicos, produciendo un daño irreversible al medio ambiente y la calidad de vida de productores y consumidores. El objetivo de investigación fue evaluar el efecto de rizobacterias promotoras del crecimiento vegetal del género Pseudomonas sp. sobre Lactuca sativa cultivar White Boston como solubilizadoras de roca fosfórica. El estudio se realizó en el Centro de Investigación Tibaitatá (Corpoica) ubicado en Mosquera (Cundinamarca-Colombia). Los resultados demostraron que las cepas tienen la capacidad intrínseca para solubilizar fuentes de fósforo de baja solubilidad como la roca fosfórica. La aplicación de inoculantes con base en las cepas: Pseudomonas fluorescens FR1, Pseudomonas sp., UVLO27 y Pseudomonas sp. LEAV18 arrojaron los mejores resultados. Las cepas Pseudomonas sp. FR2, UVLO27 y K35, tienen la capacidad de producir índoles y sideróforos. El experimento en invernadero evidenció que las cepas Pseudomonas fluorescens FR1, Pseudomonas sp. FR2 y UVLO27 incrementaron de manera significativa (P<0.05) la biomasa y el desarrollo de las plantas. El uso de rocas fosfóricas representa una alternativa económica y ecológica viable, en sistemas de agricultura sostenible.

Teor de cádmio em fertilizantes fosfatados comercializados no Brasil / Cadmium contents of phosphate fertilizers marketed in Brazil

O Cd é tóxico ao homem, aos animais e às plantas. Os fertilizantes fosfatados contém Cd, em concentrações variáveis, dependendo da rocha fosfática da qual foram obtidos. Adubações fosfatadas sucessivas podem acarretar acúmulo de Cd no solo, causando impactos ao ambiente devido a sua alta toxicidade. Os objetivos deste trabalho foram quantificar o teor de Cd em amostras de 19 fertilizantes fosfatados comercializados no Brasil e comparar dois métodos de extração: nitroperclórico (HNO3 - HClO4) e USEPA 3050B (HNO3 - H2O2). O teor de Cd nas amostras foi determinado por espectrometria de emissão atômica por plasma acoplado indutivamente (ICP-AES). Seis amostras apresentaram teor de Cd maior do que 12mg kg-1 (nitroperclórico) e uma maior do que 43mg kg-1. As demais continham menos do que 3mg de Cd kg-1 de fertilizante. A correlação entre as quantidades de Cd extraídas pelo método nitroperclórico e o USEPA 3050B foi significativa (r=0,985**) porém, nas amostras em que o teor de Cd foi maior do que 6,0mg kg-1, a extração nitroperclórica extraiu mais Cd das amostras.

Cd is toxic to men, animals and plants. Phosphate fertilizers contain Cd in variable amounts depending on the phosphatic rock which they were obtained. Successive phosphate fertilizations can accumulate Cd in the soil, causing impacts to the environment due to its high toxicity. The purposes of this work were to quantify the Cd content in samples of 19 phosphate fertilizers used in Brazil and to compare two extraction methods: nitropercloric (HNO3-HClO4) and USEPA 3050B (HNO3-H2O2). The content of Cd in the samples were determinated by indutive spectrometric atomic emission coupled plasma (ICP-AES). Six samples presented Cd content higher than 12mg kg-1 (nitroperclóric) and one higher than 43mg kg-1. The others contained less than 3mg of Cd kg-1 fertilizer. The correlation between the Cd amounts extracted by nitropercloric and USEPA 3050B methods was significant (r = 0,985**), however, in the samples in that the content of Cd was higher than 6,0mg kg-1, the nitropercloric method extracted more Cd from the samples.
