Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade do solo a partir das frações químicas e oxidáveis da matéria orgânica (MOS) em áreas com diferentes sistemas de manejo. O trabalho foi realizado no Município de Guaíra, no Oeste do Paraná, em áreas com diferentes tempos de adoção do sistema plantio direto (SPD, 6, 14 e 22 anos), com sucessão das culturas soja (verão) e milho/trigo (inverno), além de áreas com 12 anos de SPD -no mesmo arranjo de sucessão -mais quatro anos de cultivo de braquiária (Urochloa ruziziensis) consorciada com milho (M+B) e com pastagem e mata nativa. As frações químicas de ácido fúlvico (AF), ácido húmico (AH) e humina (HUM) foram avaliadas, bem como as frações oxidáveis da MOS (F1, F2, F3 e F4), o carbono total (CT) e o estoque de carbono (C) nas frações húmicas. Os teores de CT aumentaram com o tempo de adoção do SPD, principalmente entre SPD 6 e SPD 22 . Verificou-se predomínio da fração HUM e movimentação de AH e AF na camada de 0,0-0,4 m de profundidade. As frações oxidáveis apresentaram equilíbrio na distribuição do conteúdo de C, com maiores teores nas frações mais lábeis, em superfície. O cultivo com sucessão de culturas contribui para o aumento das frações mais lábeis, mas não para o aumento das frações mais recalcitrantes do C.Termos para indexação: Urochloa ruziziensis, carbono lábil, estoque de carbono, fracionamento da matéria orgânica, qualidade do solo, substâncias húmicas. Chemical and oxidizable fractions of soil organic matter under different management systems in an OxisolAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate soil quality from soil organic matter (SOM) chemical and oxidizable fractions in areas with different management systems. The study was carried out in the municipality of Guaira, in the west of the state of the Paraná, Brazil, in areas with different adoption times of the no-tillage system (NT; 6, 14, and 22 years), with succession scheme of soybean (summer) and corn/wheat (winter) crops, besides areas with 12 years under NT -in the same succession scheme -plus four years of Urochloa ruziziensis intercropped with maize (M+U), and with pasture and native forest. The chemical fractions of fulvic acid (FA), humic acid (HA), and humin (HUM) were evaluated, as well as the oxidizable fractions of MOS (F1, F2, F3, and F4), total carbon (TC), and carbon storage (C) in the humic fractions. Total carbon contents increased with the increasing adoption of time of SPD, especially from NT 6 to NT 22 . Humin fraction predominance was observed, with movement of HA and FA in the 0.0-0.4 m soil depth. The oxidizable C fractions showed equilibrium in the distribution of C contents, with higher levels in the more labile fractions, at surface. The cultivation with succession of crops contributes to the increase in labile fractions, but not to the increase of the more recalcitrant fractions of C.

In conservation management systems, such as no-till (NT), it is important to analyze the pattern of changes in soil quality as a function of the time since adoption of the system. This study evaluated the physical fractions of organic matter and soil aggregation in management systems in areas cultivated with different times since implementation of NT: 6, 14, and 22 successive years of soybean and maize/wheat crops (NT6, NT14, and NT22, respectively); 12 years of no-till with successive years of soybean and maize/wheat crops, and the last 4 years with integration of maize and ruzi grass (Brachiaria ruziziensis) - (NT+B); pasture; and forest. Physical fractionation of organic matter determined the total carbon (TC), particulate organic matter (POM), and mineral organic matter (MOM) by calculating the carbon management index (CMI) and variables related to soil structural stability. Forest and pasture areas showed the highest contents of TC, POM, and MOM, as well as higher stocks of POM and MOM. Among the cultivated areas, higher TC and particulate fractions of organic matter and the best CMI values were observed in the area of NT22. There were changes in aggregation indices, depending on the time since implementation of NT. Areas of NT22, pasture, and forest showed the greatest evolution in C-CO2, indicating increased biological activity, with positive effects on soil structural stability.

Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar mudanças nos atributos químicos, no estoque de carbono e no índice de manejo de C de um Latossolo Vermelho argiloso, sob diferentes sistemas de manejo. Avaliou-se o solo sob sistemas de manejo com diferentes históricos de uso, sob as seguintes coberturas: Zea mays, Urochloa decumbens e Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania. Como testemunha, avaliou-se área sob vegetação de cerrado. Foram coletadas amostras compostas das camadas de solo de 0-5, 5-10 e 10-20 cm. Os teores de fósforo diminuíram com a profundidade, e os maiores valores foram observados na área com P. maximum. Na área com milho, observaram-se maiores valores de K + , Ca ++ , Mg ++ , CTC, e de soma e saturação por bases. O teor de C orgânico total do solo (COT) foi maior sob cerrado e menor sob cobertura com P. maximum, à profundidade de 5-10 cm. Os maiores estoques de COT, carbono nas frações particuladas (C-MOP) e nas frações associadas à fase mineral do solo ocorreram na área com U. decumbens, o que promoveu maiores índices de labilidade e de manejo de C, similares aos da vegetação de cerrado. Em todas as coberturas, a labilidade da matéria orgânica do solo diminuiu com o aumento da profundidade. A fração C-MOP apresenta maior sensibilidade às alterações de manejo e relaciona-se ao COT.Termos para indexação: Cerrado, índice de labilidade, integração lavoura-pecuária, manejo de solo, matéria orgânica do solo, sustentabilidade do solo. Carbon management index and chemical attributes of an Oxisol under different management systemsAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate changes in the soil chemical attributes, carbon stock and in the C management index of a clayed Oxisol under different management systems. The soil under management systems with different historical usage was evaluated under the following covers: Zea mays, Urochloa decumbens, Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania. A cerrado area was used as check. Four composite samples were collected at 0-5, 5-10 and 10-20 cm soil depths. The phosphorus contents decreased with depth, and the higher values were observed in the area with P. maximum. In the area with Z. mays, higher values for K + , Ca ++ , Mg ++ , CEC, and base sum and saturation were observed. The total organic C content (TOC) was higher under cerrado vegetation cover, and smaller under P. maximum at 5-10 cm soil depth. The higher stocks of TOC, and of carbon in particulate fractions (C-POM) and in fractions associate to the soil mineral phase occurred in the area with U. decumbens, which promoted higher values for lability and C management indexes, similar to those for cerrado vegetation. In all coverings, the organic soil matter lability decreased with depth. The C-POM fraction had higher sensibility to variation in management practices, and is related to TOC.Index terms: Cerrado, lability index, integrated crop-livestock, soil management, soil organic matter, soil sustainability.

The objective of this study was evaluate the organic carbon stock and chemical and physical properties of soils in management systems with different deployment times under clayey Red Latosol in western region of Paraná, Brazil. Five managed areas and a reference area (native forest) without anthropic action were analyzed in completely randomized design with five repetitions. Management systems include three areas with different time of first adoption of no-till: 6 years -NT 6 (transition phase), 14 years -NT 14 (consolidation phase) and 22 years -NT 22 (maintenance phase); 16 years of no-till, and in the last four years with integration of maize and ruzigrass (Brachiaria ruziziensis) -(NT+B) and an area of permanent and continuous extensive cattle pasture of coast-cross (Cynodon dactylon) -(Pa). Physical and chemical properties, total soil organic carbon (TOC) stock and carbon stratification index (SI) of soils were evaluated in depths of 0-0.05; 0.05-0.10; 0.10-0.20 and 0.20-0.40 m. The macroporosity (MA) was higher in the area of native forest, ranging from 0.23 to 0.30 m 3 m -3 and the microporosity (MI) was higher in cultivated areas. The areas of NT+B and P presented lower ratio macroporosity/total pore volume (MA/TPV). For soil bulk density (BD) and soil penetration resistance (SPR), the managed areas show higher values, suggesting the occurrence of compacted subsurface layers. Native forest area showed the highest TOC levels in the depths of 0-0.05 and 0.05-0.10 m, reaching 30.5 g kg -1 in the 0-0.05 m soil layer. There was negative change on TOC stocks in the managed areas in relation to forest area, being more evident in the more superficial soil layers. The SI was greater than one, however there is a reduction in function of adoption time of no-till. There was higher soil compaction in the managed areas, and the NT in soybean/maize succession system does not contribute effectively to the increase of TOC stocks. ResumoO objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os estoques de carbono, atributos químicos e físicos do solo em sistemas de manejo com diferentes tempos de implantação na região oeste do Paraná, Brasil.

Os atributos químicos e físicos, o estoque de carbono e o índice de estratificação (IE) foram avaliados nas camadas de 0-0,05, 0,05-0,1, 0,1-0,2 e 0,2-0,4 m. A macroporosidade (MA) foi superior na área de mata, variando de 0,23 a 0,30 m 3 m -3 e a microporosidade (MI) foi superior nas áreas cultivadas. As áreas de SPD+B e pastagem apresentaram menor relação macroporos/volume total de poros (MA/VTP). Tanto para a densidade do solo (DS), quanto para a resistência à pen...

An improvement in soil chemical properties and crop development with silicate application has been confirmed in several plant species. The effects of silicate application on soil chemical properties and wheat growth were investigated in the present study. The experiment was carried out in 8-L plastic pots in a greenhouse. Treatments were arranged in a randomized block design in a 3 × 5 factorial: three soils [Rhodic Acrudox (Ox1) ) and Al 3+ phytotoxic; and increases the soil pH, available Ca, Mg and Si, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and soil base saturation. Silicate application did not affect the available P, exchangeable K and availability of micronutrients (Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn) in the three soils. The application of calcium/magnesium silicate in an acid clayey Rhodic Hapludox improves the development and yield of wheat; however, the silicate application in soil with pH higher to 5.3 and high Si availability does not affect the agronomic characteristics and grain yield of wheat. ) e Al 3+ fitotóxico; e aumenta o pH do solo, Ca, Mg e Si disponível, capacidade de troca catiônica (CTC) e saturação por bases. Aplicação de silicato não afetou o P disponível, K trocável e disponibilidade de micronutrientes (Cu, Zn, Fe e Mn) nos três solos. A aplicação de silicato de cálcio/magnésio em um Latossolo Vermelho argiloso ácido melhora o desenvolvimento e a produtividade do trigo; no entanto, a aplicação de silicato em solos com pH superior a 5,3 e alta disponibilidade Si não afeta as características agronômicas e produtividade de grãos do trigo.

suMMary among the soils in the Mato grosso do sul, stand out in the Pantanal biome, the spodosols. despite being recorded in considerable extensions, few studies aiming to characterize and classify these soils were performed. the purpose of this study was to characterize and classify soils in three areas of two physiographic types in the taquari river basin: bay and flooded fields. two trenches were opened in the bay area (P1 and P2) and two in the flooded field (P3 and P4). the third area (saline) with high sodium levels was sampled for further studies. in the soils in both areas the sand fraction was predominant and the texture from sand to sandy loam, with the main constituent quartz. in the bay area, the soil organic carbon in the surface layer (P1) was (oC) > 80 g kg -1 , being diagnosed as histic epipedon. in the other profiles the surface horizons had low oC levels which, associated with other properties, classified them as ochric epipedons. in the soils of the bay area (P1 and P2), the ph ranged from 5.0 to 7.5, associated with dominance of Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , with base saturation above 50 % in some horizons. in the flooded fields (P3 and P4) the soil ph ranged from 4.9 to 5.9, h + contents were high in the surface horizons (0.8-10.5 cmol c kg -1 ), Ca 2+ and Mg 2 contents ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 cmol c kg -1 and base saturation was < 50 %. in the soils of the bay area (P1 and P2) iron was accumulated (extracted by dithionite -fed) and oC in the spodic horizon; in the P3 and P4 soils only fed was accumulated (in the subsurface layers). according to the criteria adopted by the Brazilian system of soil Classification (siBCs) at the subgroup level, the soils were classified as: P1: organic hydromorphic ferrohumiluvic spodosol.
