Dejeto líquido de suínos: efeito no solo e nas perdas de K, Ca e Mg por erosão hídrica / Pig slurry: effect on soil and K, Ca and Mg losses by water erosion

O dejeto de suíno (DLS) é usado como fertilizante cujos nutrientes são perdidos por erosão e contaminam o ambiente se o dejeto é usado inadequadamente. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de DLS nosolo e na erosão, num Nitossolo Bruno. Os tratamentos, 0; 50; 100; e 200 m³ ha-1de DLS foram aplicados superficialmente após a semeadura uma vez em cada um dos cinco cultivos, e na palhada do último cultivo, totalizando 0, 250, 500 e 1000 m³ ha-1, na aveia (Avena strigosa), milho (Zea mays), nabo (Raphanus sativus L.) e soja (Glycine max), e nos resíduos de aveia. A chuva simulada (65 mm h-1e 75 minutos) foi aplicada três vezes no milho e quatro vezes no nabo, na soja, e nos resíduos, com um simulador debraços rotativos. Antes e depois da pesquisa, determinou-se o teor de K, Ca e Mg no solo. As chuvas aplicadas em cada momento compuseram um teste (T). O T1 ocorreu após a aplicação do DLS e os demais testes em intervalos que variaram entre 14 e 70 dias, em função do clima. Durante o escoamento, em intervalos de cincominutos coletaram-se amostras de enxurrada para determinar as perdas de água e o teor de K, Ca e Mg na água. O DLS não influenciou o teor dos nutrientes no solo. O teore as perdas totais dos nutrientes foram maiores com 1000 m3ha-1de DLS do que na ausência do dejeto. Com o aumento de escoamento, diminuiu o teor na enxurrada e aumentou a perda total, a qual aumentou também com o aumento de teor dos nutrientes na enxurrada. Recomenda-se aplicar menos do que 500 m3ha-1de DLS total no solo, mesmo em aplicações intervalares, devido à elevada perda de K, Ca e Mg pela erosão hídrica.(AU)

Pigg slurry (PS) is used as a fertilizer whose nutrients are lost through erosion and contaminate the environment if the manure is used inappropriately. The objective was to evaluate the effect of PS on soil and erosion, in a Alfisol soil. The treatments, 0; 50; 100; and 200 m³ ha-1of PS were applied superficially after sowing once in each of the five crops, and in the straw of the last crop, totaling 0, 250, 500 and 1000 m³ ha-1, in oat (Avena strigosa), corn (Zea mays), turnip (Raphanus sativusL.) and soybean (Glycine max), and in oat residues. The simulated rain (65 mm h-1and 75 minutes) was applied three times to corn and four times to turnip, soybeans, and residues, with a rotating arms simulator. Before and after the research, the content of K, Ca and Mg in thesoil was determined. The rainfall applied at each moment made up a test (T). T1 occurred after the application of the PS and the other tests at intervals that varied between 14 and 70 days, depending on the weather. During the runoff, at five-minute intervals, runoff samples were collected to determine water losses and the content of K, Ca and Mg in the water. The PS did not influence the nutrient content in the soil. The content and total losses of nutrients were higher with 1000 m3ha-1of PS than in theabsence of manure. With the increase in runoff, the content inthe runoff decreased and the total loss increased, which also increased with the increase in the nutrient content in the runoff. It is recommended to apply less than 500 m3ha-1of total PS inthe soil, even in interval applications, due to the high loss of K, Ca and Mg by water erosion.(AU)

Assessed impact of anthropization on water and soil quality in a drainage basin in southern Brazil / Impacto da antropização na qualidade da água e no solo de áreas ciliares avaliado em uma bacia hidrográfica na região Sul do Brasil

The anthropization of terrestrial environments has increased the production and concentration of nutrients and organic compounds in shallow bodies of water and in the soil along river banks, thereby causing changes in both water and soil quality. To examine the impact of anthropization on river environments, the phosphorus, potassium, and carbon content in the water and the phosphorus, potassium, and organic matter in the soil were analyzed at eighteen sites. The experimental area is located in an urbanized drainage basin located in the municipality of Lages, Santa Catarina (southern Brazil). The water samples were collected in two field surveys. The first one occurred between August and December 2016, and the second took place from March to June 2017. The soil samples were collected in one field survey from August 2016 and June 2017. The 18 sites were regularly distributed across forests, native grasslands, and urban areas. The dissolved phosphorus and potassium in the water were obtained by applying the methodology proposed by MURPHY & RILEY (1962), whereas the dissolved carbon in the water was mineralized by combustion using an oven at 800 ºC and calculated with the Analytik Jena Multi N/C 2100 TOC/TN Analyzer. On the other hand, the extractable phosphorus and potassium from the soil and organic matter were determined with the methodology described by TEDESCO et al.

A antropização de ambientes terrestres tem aumentado a produção de nutrientes e de compostos orgânicos e o aporte dos mesmos nas águas superficiais e no solo localizado nas margens das mesmas, ocasionado alterações na qualidade da água e do solo. Com o objetivo de avaliar o impacto da antropização no ambiente ciliar, foi realizada análise de fósforo, potássio e carbono na água, bem como de fósforo, potássio e matéria orgânica no solo, em 18 locais, respectivamente, na água do Ribeirão Petrópolis e no solo às suas margens, numa bacia hidrográfica na cidade de Lages, SC, Brasil. As coletas de amostras de água foram realizadas em agosto e dezembro de 2016, e em março e junho de 2017. As coletas de amostras de solo ocorreram apenas em agosto de 2016 e junho de 2017. Os locais amostrados situavam-se em áreas de floresta, campo nativo e área urbana. O fósforo e potássio dissolvido na água foram determinados conforme metodologia descrita por MURPHY & RILEY (1962), enquanto o carbono dissolvido em água foi mineralizado por combustão em forno a 800 ºC e determinado em TOC/TN Analytik Jena Multi N/C 2100. Já fósforo e potássio extraível do solo e matéria orgânica foram determinados conforme medologias descritas em TEDESCO et al. (1995). Observou-se que a concentração de fósforo, potássio e carbono dissolvido na água foi maior no trecho do rio que passava pela área urbana

The Effect of Soil Management on Pore Size Distribution and Water Infiltration

Abstract Water infiltration into soil varies significantly with soil type and management practices. Management practices alter soil physical properties, such as porosity and pore size distribution, which play an important role in infiltration. This study was conducted to assess the effect of the long-term use of two different soil tillage systems (conventional, CT, and no-tillage, NT) on soil structure and water infiltration to understanding of the relationship between physical conditions induced by tillage and water infiltration. The experiments were carried out on a Humic Cambisol in southern Brazil from 1995 to 2016. Soil density, porosity, aggregate diameter and soil water infiltration were evaluated under conventional tillage right after one plowing and two subsequent discings (CT0), and six months after these tillage operations (CT6). The results show that different management systems affect differently soil physical properties and, thus, water infiltration. By mechanical mobilization CT brings about modifications in soil structure which promote an increase in total porosity and mesopority, and a decrease in soil microporosity. This in turn results in an increase in the proportion of larger pores in the plow layer and a decrease in soil density, but also in a decrease in aggregate stability. The CT0 measurements showed the highest infiltration rates which were up to 15 times greater than in the NT treatment. The higher infiltration rate in CT0 wears off with time, but in the CT6 measurements six months after tillage it was still 2 times higher than under NT. Tillage, at least initially, increases total porosity and mesoporosity, while at the same time decreasing microporosity. This results in a larger saturated hydraulic conductivity (K). An increase in total porosity alone does not necessarily increase K, if there is an increase in small pores at the cost of decreasing the number of larger pores.

Chemical Recovery of Degraded Soil and Consequence in the Cost of Corn Production

Abstract Improper management degrades the soil, decreases corn productivity and is reflected in the cost of production. The objective of this research was to evaluate the soil recovery in non-conservationist treatments after the change of management and cultivation to the conservation condition direct sowing, and compare these systems to consolidated direct seeding; This evaluation was based on the soil responsiveness to crop production and water erosion control, and based on the financial cost of soil recovery and corn production when soil management was converted from non-conservationist (tillage rotation - RT, minimum tillage - MT, conventional tillage - CT and bare soil - BS) to no-tillage (NT) condition, in a Humic Cambisol. The transition from managements to no-tillage occurred in 2015 year, after 27 years of conducting the preexisting managements. The chemical recovery was carried out with the application of limestone, phosphorus, and potassium. At the end of the research the yield of the corn crop, the cost of recovering the soil fertility and the cost of crop production were evaluated. Previous soil management influenced the cost of soil chemical recovery. The cost of production showed a financial loss for the previous treatments CT and BS, on the average of the three corn crops.

Water erosion in a Haplic Dystrudept soil after application of swine slurry / Erosão hídrica em um Cambissolo Háplico após aplicação de dejeto líquido de suínos

Water (WL), soil (SL), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) losses by water erosion and subsurface flow are influenced by soil management and by soil fertilization with swine slurry (SS). The study was conducted between 09/2014 and 11/2015, in a Haplic Dystrudept, to evaluate the 0 (zero), 50, 100 and 200 m³ ha-1 SS doses applied to millet (Pennisetum americanum), black oats (Avena strigosa) and crotalaria (Crotalaria ochroleuca), compared with a soil without cultivation and without SS. The soil total porosity (Tp) and macroporosity (Ma), the P and K concentration in the soil, in the runoff, and in the subsurface flow, the dry mass of the aerial part (DM) of crops, and the WL and SL were determined. The main results show the application of SS in the soil results in an increase in Tp and Ma, as well as in the concentration of P and K in the soil and the DM of the plants, in relation to the absence of SS. Water erosion decreases with an increased dose of SS applied to the soil in the interval between 50 and 200 m3 ha-1. The increase in the dose of SS increases the concentration and total losses of P and K in the runoff and decreases the concentration of these nutrients in the subsurface flow in the interval between 50 and 200 m3 ha-1. The increase of DM of the plants, in the interval between 13.75 and 22.82 t ha-1, decreases SL at an average rate of 2.90 t ha-1. The concentration of K in the subsurface flow water was negatively related to the concentration of the element in the subsurface flow.

A pesquisa foi conduzida em 09/2014 e 11/2015, em um Cambissolo Háplico, para avaliar as doses 0 (zero), 50, 100 e 200 m³ ha-1 de DLS aplicado no milheto (Pennisetum americanum), aveia preta (Avena strigosa) e crotalária (Crotalaria ochroleuca), em comparação ao solo sem cultivo e sem DLS. A porosidade total (PT) e macroporosidade (Ma) do solo, as concentrações de P e K no solo, na enxurrada e no escoamento subsuperficial, a massa seca da parte aérea das culturas (MS), e as PA e PS pela foram determinadas. Os principais resultados mostram que a aplicação de DLS no solo resulta em aumento da PT e Ma e da concentração de P e K no solo, além da MS das plantas, em relação à ausência de dejeto. A erosão hídrica diminui com o aumento da dose de DLS, no intervalo entre 50 e 200 m3 ha-1 do dejeto aplicado no solo em relação à dose de 50. O aumento da dose de DLS faz aumentar a concentração e as perdas totais de P e K no escoamento superficial e diminuir a concentração desses nutrientes no fluxo subsuperficial, no intervalo entre 50 e 200 m3 ha-1 de dejeto. O aumento de MS das plantas, no intervalo entre 13,75 e 22,82 t ha-1, faz diminuir as PS a uma taxa média de 2,90 t ha-1. A concentração de K na água do fluxo subsuperficial se relaciona negativamente com a concentração do elemento no escoamento superficial.

Teores e estoques de carbono orgânico do solo em diferentes usos da terra no Planalto Sul de Santa Catarina / Contents and stocks of soil organic carbon in different types of land use in the Southern Plateau of Santa Catarina (Brazil)

O estudo das modificações do carbono do solo provocadas pela mudança de uso da terra possibilita adotar medidas que reduzam os riscos de futuros impactos negativos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi quantificar e comparar os teores (COT) e os estoques (EC) de carbono orgânico total do solo em diferentes usos da terra na região do Planalto Sul de Santa Catarina. Foram selecionadas áreas sob floresta natural (FN), plantio de pinus (PP), campo natural pastejado (CP) e sucessão de lavoura e pastagem (LP). Amostras de solo foram coletadas nas camadas de 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 e 20-40 cm, onde foram determinados os teores e calculados os estoques de carbono orgânico total por dois métodos, considerando a camada equivalente e a massa equivalente de solo. Os diferentes usos da terra influenciam os COT e os EC, os quais são maiores na condição de FN. Os valores de COT foram, respectivamente, 33,9; 27,1; 26,0 e 23,2 g kg-1 para FN, PP, CP e LP, na média da camada de 0-40 cm, enquanto os EC até a profundidade de 40 cm foram, respectivamente, 121,5; 113,8; 112,4 e 100,6 Mg ha-1 com base na camada equivalente de solo e 121,5; 102,2; 99,1 e 89,8 Mg ha-1 após correção pela massa equivalente de solo.

Study of soil physical properties and water infiltration rates in different types of land use / Estudo dos atributos físicos do solo e taxas de infiltração de água em diferentes modalidades de uso da terra

Studying the changes in soil properties caused by different land uses allows measures to be adopted that will reduce the risk of future negative effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate soil physical properties and quantify water infiltration for different types of land use in the Santa Catarina Plateau of southern Brazil. The research was conducted on a 1,200 ha rural property. The land use types selected were natural forest (NF), planted pine (PP), crop-livestock integration (CLI), and burned natural rangeland (BR). A sample survey was carried out in nine different areas for each land use. Samples were collected from four soil layers and the soil bulk density (Bd), total porosity (Tp), and macropore (Ma), micropore (Mi), and biopore (Bio) volumes were measured. Water infiltration tests were performed to obtain the initial (ii) and final (fi) water infiltration rates into the soil, and the total amount of water that had infiltrated the soil (Ti). In NF, Bd was lower and Tp was higher than in other types of land use. The forest vegetation (NF and PP) had higher Ma and Bio volumes in the superficial layers of the soil. Water infiltration was markedly different between land use types. The NF had the highest ii, fi, and Ti values followed by PP, whereas the CLI and BR areas had drastically lower infiltration parameters with BR having the lowest values...(AU)

O estudo das modificações nos atributos do solo provocadas pela forma de utilização das terras possibilita a adoção de medidas que reduzam riscos de futuros impactos. A pesquisa teve por objetivos quantificar atributos físicos do solo e a infiltração de água em diferentes modalidades de uso da terra no Planalto Sul Catarinense. O estudo foi conduzido em propriedade rural de 1.200 ha, onde foram selecionadas áreas sob floresta natural (FN), plantio de pinus (PP), integração lavoura-pecuária (ILP) e campo natural pastejado e submetido à queima (CN). Para isso, realizou-se levantamento amostral em nove glebas distintas para cada tipo de uso. Foram coletadas amostras de solo em quatro camadas para determinação da densidade do solo (Ds), porosidade total (Pt), macroporos (Ma), microporos (Mi) e bioporos (Bio). Testes de infiltração de água no solo foram realizados para obtenção das taxas de infiltração inicial (ii) e final (if) e da lâmina total infiltrada (It). Na FN a Ds é menor e a Pt maior do que nos demais tipos de uso da terra. A vegetação florestal (FN e PP) se destaca com maiores Ma e Bio nas camadas superficiais do solo. A infiltração de água apresenta diferenças acentuadas entre os tipos de uso.

Studying the changes in soil properties caused by different land uses allows measures to be adopted that will reduce the risk of future negative effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate soil physical properties and quantify water infiltration for different types of land use in the Santa Catarina Plateau of southern Brazil. The research was conducted on a 1,200 ha rural property. The land use types selected were natural forest (NF), planted pine (PP), crop-livestock integration (CLI), and burned natural rangeland (BR). A sample survey was carried out in nine different areas for each land use. Samples were collected from four soil layers and the soil bulk density (Bd), total porosity (Tp), and macropore (Ma), micropore (Mi), and biopore (Bio) volumes were measured. Water infiltration tests were performed to obtain the initial (ii) and final (fi) water infiltration rates into the soil, and the total amount of water that had infiltrated the soil (Ti). In NF, Bd was lower and Tp was higher than in other types of land use. The forest vegetation (NF and PP) had higher Ma and Bio volumes in the superficial layers of the soil. Water infiltration was markedly different between land use types. The NF had the highest ii, fi, and Ti values followed by PP, whereas the CLI and BR areas had drastically lower infiltration parameters with BR having the lowest values...

Water erosion in surface soil conditions: runoff velocity, concentration and D50 index of sediments in runoff

Water erosion and contamination of water resources are influenced by concentration and diameter of sediments in runoff. This study aimed to quantify runoff velocity and concentration and the D50 index of sediments in runoff under different soil surface managements, in the following treatments: i) cropped systems: no-tilled soil covered by ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) residue, with high soil cover and minimal roughness (HCR); no tilled soil covered by vetch (Vicia sativa L.) residue, with high soil cover and minimal roughness (HCV); chiseled soil after ryegrass crop removing the above-ground residues and keeping only the root system, with high roughness (HRR); chiseled soil after vetch crop removing the above-ground residues and keeping only the root system, with high roughness (HRV); ii) bare and chiseled soil, with high roughness (BHR). The research was conducted on a Humic Dystrupept under simulated rainfall. The design was completely randomized and each treatment was replicated twice. Eight rainfall events of controlled intensity (65 mm h1) were applied to each treatment for 90 minutes. The D50 index, runoff velocity and sediment concentration were influenced by crop and soil management. Runoff velocity was more intensely reduced by cover crop residues than by surface roughness. Regardless of surface condition, the D50 index and concentration of sediment in runoff were lower under ryegrass than vetch crop. Runoff velocity and the D50 index were exponentially and inversely correlated with soil cover by residues and with surface roughness, while the D50 index was positively and exponentially correlated with runoff velocity.(AU)

Canopy cover, biomass production and nutrient accumulation by coper crops / Cobertura do solo, produção de biomassa e acúmulo de nutrientes por plantas de cobertura

The use of cover crops is an important strategy for maintaining the productive capacity of agricultural land. This research aimed to determine the soil coverage, biomass production and accumulation of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in plant tissue of different species of cover crops on the southern plateau of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in a Humic Cambisol (Inceptisol) with the following treatments: i) BO - black oat (Avena strigosa); ii) WR - wild radish (Raphanus sativus L.); iii) CV - common vetch (Vicia sativa); iv) IS - intercropping of the three species; and v) WF - winter fallow with spontaneous vegetation. The use of cover crops has potential for high biomass production, canopy cover and nutrient accumulation by plant tissue, higher than winter fallow. In the early stage of plant development the highest growth rates and soil coverage occur in WR and IS, while at the end are higher in CV and IS. The crops of BO, CV and IS produce large amounts of dry shoot mass and BO produces greater dry root mass. In general, the CV and IS treatments and the shoot accumulate greater amounts of nutrients in plant tissue as compared to other treatments and the roots, respectively.(AU)

Hydrological variables and soluble phosphorus in runoff, in two no-till forms with application of pig slurry / Variáveis hidrológicas e fósforo solúvel na enxurrada em duas formas de semeadura direta com aplicação de dejeto suíno

The no-till reduces erosion compared to conventional tillage; however, nutrient losses in runoff are source of environmental contamination. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of using furrow shank in the seeder on the runoff and water infiltration into soil, in no-till, and quantify the levels and losses of soluble phosphorus in runoff at different rates of pig slurry applied to the soil surface. The experiment was conducted in 2009, in São José do Cerrito/SC, Brazil, in Nitosol soil. Simulated rainfall with intensity of 70 mm h-1 was applied for 1.5 h in plots with the seeder equipped with double disks (SDD) and with double disc and furrow shank (SDH). In addition, before the rain, rates of 0; 30; and 60 m3 ha-1 of pig slurry were applied in SDH and rates of 15; 45; and 75 m3 ha-1 were applied in SDD. During the runoff, flow rate was measured and samples were collected for determination of soluble phosphorus. The maximum rate and volume of runoff were smaller, while the runoff start time, the total infiltration and the basic rate of water infiltration into the soil were higher in SDH than SDD. The levels and the loss of soluble phosphorus in runoff increased proportionally with the rate of pig slurry; however, the use of furrow shank in the seeder reduced the levels and the loss of the element in runoff.(AU)

A semeadura direta reduz a erosão hídrica em relação ao preparo convencional com revolvimento de solo, no entanto é fonte de contaminação ambiental pelos nutrientes solúveis perdidos na enxurrada. O trabalho objetivou avaliar o efeito do uso de hastes sulcadoras acopladas à semeadora sobre o escoamento superficial e a infiltração de água no solo em semeadura direta, e quantificar os teores e as perdas de fósforo solúvel na enxurrada com aplicação no solo de dejeto líquido de suínos. O experimento foi realizado em 2009, em São José do Cerrito/SC, num Nitossolo Bruno. Foi aplicada chuva simulada com intensidade de 70 mm h-1 durante 90 min, em parcelas com uso de semeadora equipada com discos duplos (SDD) e com discos duplos + hastes sulcadoras (SDH). Em adicional, antes do teste, foram aplicadas doses de 0; 30; e 60 m3 ha-1 de dejeto líquido de suínos no SDH e doses de 15; 45; e 75 m3 ha-1 de dejeto no SDD. Foram efetuadas leituras da taxa de enxurrada e coletadas amostras para determinação do fósforo solúvel. O volume e a taxa máxima de enxurrada são menores enquanto o tempo de início da enxurrada, a infiltração total e a velocidade básica de infiltração de água no solo são maiores no SDH em comparação ao SDD. Os teores e as perdas de fósforo solúvel na enxurrada aumentam proporcionalmente com a dose de dejeto de suínos; no entanto, o uso das hastes na semeadora tende a reduzir os teores e as perdas do elemento na enxurrada.(AU)

Transferência superficial de fósforo reativo potencialmente contaminante por chuvas simuladas intensas / Superficial loss of reactive phosphorus potentially contaminant by intense rainfall simulation

O fósforo naturalmente presente ou adicionado ao solo, dependendo da conjunção de fatores, pode desencadear uma situação de alto risco ambiental para os recursos hídricos de bacias hidrográficas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi quantificar a transferência na superfície do solo de algumas formas de fósforo reativo, originário da adubação fosfatada em solo sem cultivo e descoberto, transportado pelo escoamento superficial da água de chuvas. O experimento foi executado em Lages, SC, com duas repetições de campo, sob regime de chuvas intensas simuladas (64 mm h−1 durante 50 minutos). Os resultados apontam que o fósforo pode representar sério risco ambiental aos recursos hídricos das bacias, em diferentes escalas no tempo e no espaço, através das formas reativas de fósforo e suas diferentes maneiras de transporte.

Phosphorus is naturally present or added to the soil and, depending on the mix of factors, may trigger a high environmental risk to water resources in river basins. The aim of this study was to quantify the transfer for soil surface of some forms of reactive phosphorus originating from phosphorus fertilization on bare soil, carried by the runoff. The experiment was carried out in Lages, SC, Brazil, with two replications in the field under intense simulated rainfall (64 mm h−1 for 50 minutes). The results indicate that phosphorus may represent a serious environmental risk to water resources of basins at different scales in time and space, through the reactive forms of phosphorus and their different ways of transportation.

Critical slope lenght and water erosion, in three rates of crop residue and two modes of direct seeding / Comprimento crítico de declive e erosão hídrica, em três doses de resíduo cultural e dois modos de semeadura direta

The objective of this work was to investigate the existence of critical slope lengths, associated with corn residue failure, at the rates of 8, 4, and, 2 Mg ha-1, in two modes of direct seeding: without and with shanks grooving in the seeding-fertilizing machine. Simulated rainfall of 75 mm h-1, applied with the rotating-boom simulator, and an Alfisol with 0.16 m m-1 slope steepness, were used. Initially only applied rain was used, until steady runoff occured. Increasingly, without interrupting and changing the intensity of the rain, increasing levels of extra-water inflow (six, 10 minutes each) were added to the experimental plots, to simulate progressively greater slope lengths. There was effective residue removal by surface runoff in all treatments, which led to believe the same failure or critical slope length existed in all of them, but this could not be confirmed by the theoretical erosion relationships. Even so, as a reference and as a measure of safety, real credit was given to what was visually observed, a failure in smaller residue level of extra flow in direct seeding without chisel planter was observed, and the opposite with the chisel planter, establishing critical slope lengths, respectively, of 64 m to 118 m and 171 m to 456 m, according to residue rates.(AU)

O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a existência de comprimentos críticos de declive, associados à falha do resíduo cultural de milho, nas doses de 8, 4 e 2 Mg ha-1, em dois modos de semeadura direta, sem e com hastes sulcadoras. Foi usada chuva simulada de 75 mm h-1, aplicada com o simulador de braços rotativos, e um Nitossolo Bruno com 0,16 m m-1 de declividade. Inicialmente aplicou-se somente chuva, até a enxurrada ficar constante. Em continuidade, sem interromper e mudar a intensidade da chuva, níveis crescentes de fluxo extra de água (seis, 10 minutos cada um) foram adicionados às parcelas experimentais, para simular comprimentos de declive progressivamente maiores. Observou-se efetiva remoção do resíduo de milho pela enxurrada em todos os tratamentos, sugerindo falha do mesmo ou existido comprimento crítico de declive em todos eles, mas isto não pôde ser confirmado pelas relações teóricas de erosão. Mesmo assim, como referência e por medida de segurança, deu-se crédito real ao observado visualmente e considerou-se falha do resíduo nos níveis menores de fluxo extra na semeadura direta sem hastes sulcadoras e nos níveis maiores de fluxo extra na semeadura direta com hastes sulcadoras, estabelecendo-se comprimentos críticos de declive, respectivamente, de 64 m a 118 m e 171 m a 456 m, conforme as doses de resíduo.(AU)
