Swine wastewater (SW) is considered as a source of nutrients for agriculture. The quantities and frequencies applied may vary according to the soil class, the nature and composition of the waste, the climatic conditions and the cultivated plant species. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of application of five Swine wastewater doses (0, 500, 1000, 2000 and 2500 m³ ha-1) in the production of components and grass nutrient extraction Tifton 85 and changes in soil chemical properties after the end of the last application of swine wastewater. To achieve these goals, we evaluated the quantities of extracted nutrients, density and height of the pre-grazing grass, forage accumulation rate and carrying capacity. The experimental design was a randomized block. The production of dry matter was 18159.80 kg ha-1 , and the average height of 85 Tifton was 34.83 cm. The higher carrying capacity, 10 AU ha-1 was obtained with the dosage of 2500 m³ ha-1. While, the dose of 2000 m³ ha-1 supplied the nutritional needs of Tifton 85 in nitrogen, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc and boron. The quantities of extracted nutrients (kg ha-1) at grass Tifton 85 grazed were: N = 405.14; P = 57.77; K + = 387.69; Ca 2+ = 77.05; Mg 2+ = 49.68; S-SO4-2 = 31.48; B = 0.33; Cu 2+ = 0.20; Fe = 2.88; Mn 2+ = 4.61; Zn 2+ = 2.86. The application of increasing doses of SW promoted a linear increase in grass production components Tifton 85, as well, promoted changes in soil chemical properties and quantities of extracted nutrients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
