Zinco total e disponível em amostras de perfis de solos do estado de São Paulo

Abstract

RESUMOEm amostras dos horizontes A e B de vinte e oito perfis de unidades de solos representativas do Estado de São Paulo fez-se a determinação de zinco usando os extratores DTPA pH 7,3 (ZnDTPA); Mehlich-1 (ZnM1); HCl 0,1 mol L -1 (ZnHCl); EDTA (ZnEDTA); e, NH 4 OAc 1 mol L -1 (ZnAc). O teor total de zinco nas amostras de solo estava alto, entretanto, notou-se somente uma pequena fração na forma disponível. O zinco total foi mais influenciado pelo teor de óxido de ferro (r=0,75). Para os teores considerados biodisponíveis, o pH foi o componente mais importante com coeficientes de correlação que variaram de 0,52 (ZnDTPA) a 0,66 (ZnAc). A análise dos componentes principais (PCA) revelou que os dois primeiros componentes principais explicaram 66% da variação, mostrando a associação entre os seguintes atributos dos solos: silte, pH, cálcio, magnésio, valor T, sílica, óxido de ferro, ZnT, ZnDTPA, ZnM1, ZnHCl e ZnEDTA, em que havia valores superiores a 0,63 no F1. No F2 ficou demonstrada a associação entre os teores de argila, areia fina e óxido de alumínio. Foi observada ambiguidade nos F1 e F2 para a areia grossa. Concluiu-se que: a maioria das amostras de solo apresenta potencial para o aparecimento de deficiência de zinco em curto e médio prazos e a PCA foi eficiente no agrupamento de solos originários de mesmo material de origem, indicando que as formas de Zn analisadas são influenciadas positivamente pelos teores de silte, Ca, Mg, sílica e Fe 2 O 3, pH e valor T.Palavras-chave: análise de solo, micronutriente, extratores químicos, análise multivariada, componente principal. ABSTRACT TOTAL AND AVAILABLE ZINC IN SOIL PROFILES FROM SÃO PAULO STATE, BRAZILTotal and available zinc were analized in samples of A and/or B horizons of twenty eight representative soil profiles of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Amounts of Zn extracted by DTPA pH 7.3 (Zn DTPA), Mehlich-1 (Zn M1), HCl 0.1 mol.L -1 (Zn HCl), EDTA (Zn-EDTA), and NH 4 OAc(Zn Ac) were assessed. Amounts of total Zn (Zn T) in all samples was high, but just a small fraction of it is available. Total Zn correlated well with iron oxide content (r = 0.75). In terms of bioavailable amounts the pH was the most important component, showing correlation coefficients varying from 0.52 for Zn DTPA to 0.66 for Zn Ac. The two first axes of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) explained 66% of the variation, and showed association among the following soil attributes: silt, pH, calcium, magnesium, CEC-value, silica, iron oxides, T-ZN, DTPA-Zn, M1-Zn, HCL-Zn and EDTA-Zn, that presented correlation values higher values than 0.63 with the main axis (FL). The second axis (F2) showed an association among clay content, fine sand, and aluminum oxide. An ambiguity was clear in F1 and F2 to coarse sand. It is concluded that: most samples have potential to show up zinc deficiency in the short and medium term; PCA was efficient in grouping soils from the same parent material, indicating that the Zn analyzed in this study is positively influenced by the silt, Ca, Mg, silica, and iron oxide c...

Boron, Copper, and Zinc Affect the Productivity, Cup Quality, and Chemical Compounds in Coffee Beans

“…Besides this, Zn regulates or makes part of the structure of several other enzymes involved in protein synthesis and in nitrogen metabolism [5,11]. In clayey acid soils, several reactions are responsible for the low Zn availability, which together with the low mobility of Zn in the coffee plant phloem drives to foliar fertilizations in such conditions [12,13]. Also, like other Brazilian coffee producer regions, Zona da Mata is a mountain region in which manually done foliar sprays are time-consuming and costly.…”
