RESUMOLodos de esgoto podem ser reciclados no solo agrícola como fonte de nutrientes para as plantas e visando o aumento no teor de matéria orgânica. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi caracterizar a fração orgânica de lodos de esgoto (teores totais, orgânicos e inorgânicos de carbono, nitrogênio e fósforo; concentrações de carbono solúvel em água, açúcares solúveis, proteína bruta, lipídeos, hemicelulose, celulose, lignina, fenóis e taninos totais), de modo a auxiliar no planejamento de seu uso na agricultura. Foram utilizados cinco tipos de lodos de esgoto com diferenças quanto às etapas posteriores de condicionamento químico e/ou tratamento complementar para desidratação, sendo três provenientes de processo anaeróbio: cal e cloreto férrico, desidratado mecanicamente (LAC); polímero sintético e desidratado mecanicamente (LAP); polímero sintético e desidratado termicamente (LAS), e dois de processo aeróbio de digestão: condicionamento com polímero sintético e secagem em leitos (LLP); LLP após processo de compostagem em pilhas aeradas em mistura com bagaço de cana-de-açúcar e restos de poda urbana, composto de lodo (CL). O condicionamento com polímero e secagem térmica conservou mais a matéria orgânica do resíduo, o que foi evidenciado pela presença de maiores teores de compostos orgânicos facilmente degradáveis, bem como de carbono (337,24 g kg -1 ), nitrogênio (39,02 g kg -1 ) e fósforo (2,93 g kg -1 ) no compartimento orgânico. Em todos os lodos houve expressiva participação do conteúdo protéico na matéria orgânica, que foi de aproximadamente 43, 42, 28 e 25 % para os lodos de esgoto LAC, LAP, LAS, LLP e CL, respectivamente.

The objective of this study was to characterize the organic fraction of sewage sludge (contents of carbon, nitrogen and total organic and inorganic phosphorus; concentrations of protein, fat, fiber, phenol and tannin) in order to assist in planning their use in agriculture. Five types of sewage sludge with differences were used for the later stages of chemical conditioning and / or complementary treatment for dehydration, three from anaerobic process: lime and ferric chloride, mechanically dehydrated (LAC); synthetic polymer and dehydrated mechanically (LAP); synthetic polymer and thermally dehydrated (LAS), and two aerobic digestion process: etching synthetic polymers with drying beds (LLP); LLP after the composting process in aerated piles mixed with bagasse from sugar and urban pruning debris, sludge compost (CL). The conditioning polymer and heat drying the organic matter retained in the residue, which was evidenced by the presence of higher concentrations of readily degradable organic compounds and carbon (337.24 g kg -1 ), nitrogen (39.02 g kg -1 ) and phosphorus (2.93 g kg -1 ) in the organic compartment.

In the humid tropics, the continuous use of the same area reduces nutrient availability and increases the incidence of weeds. To circumvent these obstacles, farmers practice itinerant agriculture associated with slashing and burning with negative effects on the local and global environment. In search for a suitable system for humid tropical agriculture, the objective of this study was to investigate the performance of no-till alley cropping in conjunction with the use of annual legume crops grown during the off-season. The experiment was implemented in a one-hectare alley cropping system in which the leguminous tree clitoria (Clitoria fairchildiana R.A. Howard) was used. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks with four replications of the following treatments: Stylosanthis (Stylosanthis capitata), showey rattlebox (Crotalaria spectabilis), sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea), jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) and a control with clitoria alone, without an annual legume. In January 2007 and 2008, maize was planted in each alley. One hundred and twenty days after annual legumes were sown, the total biomass was recorded. Weed incidence was assessed 35 days after maize planting. Analyses of the C, N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents of the legumes were carried out. To assess soil organic matter (SOM), composite soil samples from the surface 0–5 cm were collected from experimental plots. Two adjacent areas were also sampled for comparison: a 10-year-old secondary forest and an area of conventional tillage. The SOM was fractionated using a densitometric and a granulometric method. Conventional systems reduce the silt and free light organic matter fractions more than no till. The use of annual legumes changes the composition of the weed community, replacing the more aggressive types with those less competitive. The use of showy rattlebox (C. spectabilis) may be an effective strategy for reducing weed density in the long-season crop. Furthermore, relative to the use of leguminous trees alone, higher yields of maize can be obtained with the use of showy rattlebox (C. spectabilis) and sunn hemp (C. juncea) without the application of additional N.
Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, por meio de incubação anaeróbica, a mineralização e a disponibilidade de N em solos tratados com aplicações sucessivas de lodo de esgoto, e determinar o efeito residual das aplicações anteriores na taxa de mineralização do nitrogênio (TMN). Dois experimentos de longa duração foram realizados com doses anuais de lodo de esgoto, para o cultivo de milho: um com dose recomendada de lodo, correspondente a 120 kg ha -1 de N, e 2, 4 e 8 vezes essa dose, em área da Embrapa Meio Ambiente, em Jaguariúna; e outro com 80 kg ha -1 de N aplicado via adubo mineral, e 1 e 2 vezes a dose recomendada de lodo de esgoto, em área do Instituto Agronômico, em Campinas; além de testemunha, sem aplicação de lodo. A disponibilidade de N e a TMN foram estimadas em condições de campo e por incubações anaeróbicas em laboratório. O N total absorvido pelas plantas também foi determinado. O lodo de esgoto é mais efetivo em fornecer nitrogênio ao milho, em longo prazo, do que a adubação mineral. O efeito residual do lodo de esgoto não influencia a TMN do lodo recém-adicionado. O método de incubação anaeróbica é eficiente em estimar a mineralização do N proveniente de lodo de esgoto recém-adicionado.Termos para indexação: Zea mays, acúmulo de nitrato, efeito residual, fertilização orgânica, resíduo orgânico.Nitrogen availability and mineralization after successive sewage sludge applications on soil, estimated through anaerobic incubationAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate, through anaerobic incubation, N mineralization and availability in soils treated with successive applications of sewage sludge, and to determine the residual effect of previous applications on nitrogen mineralization rate (NMR). Two long-term experiments were conducted with annual sewage sludge doses for corn cultivation: one with the recommended dose of sewage sludge, correspondent to 120 kg ha -1 N, and 2, 4, and 8 times the dose in area at Embrapa Meio Ambiente, in Jaguariúna, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil; and the other with 80 kg ha -1 mineral N fertilization, and 1 and 2 times the recommended dose of sewage sludge in area at Instituto Agronômico, in Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil; besides a control, without sewage sludge application. N availability and NMR were determined in field conditions and through anaerobic incubations in laboratory. Total nitrogen absorbed by plants was also estimated. Sewage sludge is more effective in supplying nitrogen to corn in the long term than mineral fertilization. The residual effect of sewage sludge does not influence the NMR from newly-added sludge. The method of anaerobic incubation is efficient in estimating the mineralization of N from newly-added sewage sludge.Index terms: Zea mays, nitrate accumulation, residual effect, organic fertilization, organic waste. IntroduçãoO uso agrícola do lodo de esgoto no Brasil é regulamentado pela Resolução Conama n o 375 (Brasil, 2006), na qual estão indicados os critérios e os procedimentos para seu uso adequado.
