“…After reaching equilibrium at each potential, the samples were weighed. The RP was determined by means of an electronic penetrograph with a constant penetration velocity of 0.01 m min -1 , base diameter of 4 mm and semi-angle of 30° (Pereira et al, 2015). After determination of PR, the samples were taken to greenhouse for drying and then the soil bulk density (sD) was obtained by the relation between the dry soil mass at 110 ºC for 24 h and the volumetric ring volume at which the soil was collected (Arcoverde et al, 2019).…”

“…For the determination of the LLWR, followed the procedures described by Pereira et al (2015), considering the upper limit to be the lowest value among the water content retained in the soil at a matric potential of -0.01 MPa (Reichardt, 1988), corresponding to field capacity (SWF C ) or the value at which the air-filled porosity (SWF C ) was 10% (Grable & Siemer, 1968). In turn which, the lower limit was considered to be the greatest value among the retained water contents at a matric potential of -1.5 MPa (Savage et al, 1996) in relation to the permanent wilting point (SW PWP ), and the soil moisture content at root penetration (SW PR ) reaches 2.0 MPa (Taylor et al, 1966;Pereira et al, 2015) and 4.0 MPa for sugarcane (Oliveira Filho et al, 2016).…”

The Least Limiting Water Range (LLWR) is an indicator of soil physical quality, contributing in information to propose soil management systems in agricultural farming process. This work aimed to assess the usage of LLWR and critical soil bulk density for physical-water quality evaluations, as well as its effect on sugarcane farming under notillage and reduced-tillage, in Oxisol. Undisturbed soil samples were collected in 0.00-0.10 and 0.10-0.20 m soil layers, to determine the following attributes: soil bulk density, soil penetration resistance (PR), volumetric water content at field capacity and permanent wilting point and minimum aeration porosity. The LLWR proved to be a good soil physical water quality indicator in sugarcane farming under conservation tillage system. No-tillage presented a greater range of the LLWR when compared to the reduced-tillage, regardless to the PR value adopted as restrictive for sugarcane roots development, increasing the yield of stalks and sugars contents. The critical soil bulk density under no-tillage is between 1.48 and 1.53 Mg m -3 at the RP of 2 and 4 MPa, while under reduced-tillage it is between 1.44 and 1.51 Mg m -3 .

“…Soil compression curves have also been used to identify structural changes in the soil caused by compaction. Modeling evaluates load-bearing capacity (LBC), which indicates the maximum pressure that the soil can bear under different moisture levels without increasing compaction (Pereira et al, 2015).…”

Quality of a Latosol Cultivated with Oilseed in Succession to Corn. Cien. Inv. Agr. 45(2): 169-180. Mechanized operations on soils with inadequate moisture cause compaction and are deleterious to soil quality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different oilseed crop successions on the structural quality of a clayey Rhodic Hapludox. Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), canola (Brassica napus L. and Brassica rapa), safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst.), and niger (Guizotia abyssinica) were sown in autumn/winter in a no-tillage system in succession to corn grown in the summer and soybean/corn grown in summer/autumn-winter. When the autumn-winter crops began to grow, soil samples were collected in metallic cylinders at 0.0-0.05 m and 0.05-0.10 m depths. Analyses of the optimal water interval in each crop succession at the 0.0-0.05 m layer indicated that the corn/safflower and corn/crambe successions reduced the structural quality of the soil. The autumn-winter niger crop in succession to summer corn improved the soil structure at 0.0-0.05 m and 0.05-0.10 m when compared with the soil cultivated with the soybean/corn succession. The niger crop is an effective crop rotation alternative that improves the physical quality of the soil under no-tillage systems.

“…In Brazil, soil compression curves have been widely used to evaluate soil response in reference to different soil properties and management practices, such as tillage systems (Silva et al, 2002a,b;Veiga et al, 2007), grazed pasture and eucalyptus forest (Suzuki et al, 2015), orange orchard (Fidalski et al, 2015), Oxisols with different textures (Severiano et al, 2011), sugar cane crop (Pacheco and Cantalice, 2011;Pereira et al, 2015), pastures (Pires et al, 2012), coffee crop (Araujo-Junior et al, 2011;Pais et al, 2013), and agroforestry systems (Watanabe et al, 2016). Other studies have focused on investigating the methods applied in determination of σ p and pedotransfer functions (Dias Junior and Pierce, 1996;Imhoff et al, 2004;Cavalieri et al, 2008;Suzuki et al, 2008;Severiano et al, 2011;Silva and Lima, 2016).…”

ABSTRACT:In irrigated soils, a continuous state of high moisture reduces resistance of the soil to applied external forces, favouring compaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the susceptibility to compaction of developed calcareous soils in irrigated annual and perennial cropping systems of the Apodi Plateau, located in the Brazilian semi-arid region. Four areas of irrigated crops were evaluated: banana after two (B2) and 15 (B15) years cultivation, pasture (P), and a corn and beans succession (MB), as well as the reference areas for soil quality and corresponding natural vegetation (NVB2, NVB15, NVP and NVMB). Samples were collected at layers of 0.00-0.10 and 0.20-0.30 m; and for B2 and B15, samples were collected in the row and inter-row spaces. The following properties were determined: degree of compactness (DC), preconsolidation pressure (σ p ), compression index (Cc), maximum density (ρ max ), critical water content (WC crit ), total organic carbon (TOC) and carbon of light organic matter (C lom ). Mean values were compared by the t-test at 5, 10, 15 and 20 % probability. An increase was seen in DC at a layer of 0.20-0.30 m in MB (p<0.15), showing the deleterious effects of preparing the soil by ploughing and chiselling, together with the cumulative traffic of heavy machinery. The TOC had a greater influence on ρ max than the stocks of C lom . Irrigation caused a reduction in Cc, and there was no effect on σ p at field capacity. The planting rows showed different behaviour for Cc, ρ max , and WC crit, , and in general the physical properties displayed better conditions than the inter-row spaces. Values for σ p and Cc showed that agricultural soils display greater load-bearing capacity and are less susceptible to compaction in relation to soils under natural vegetation.
