“…Given the high economic and environmental costs of degraded soil recovery, it is recommended to follow the structural quality of the soil using the physical quality indicators, such as macroporosity, microporosity, total porosity, density, and resistance to soil penetration ; and also of the plant, such as richness in sugars and stalk and sugar productivity (Silva et al, 2022). Monitoring these indicators constitutes relevant information for decision-making and the selection of soil management practices inserted in sugarcane production environments to provide the appropriate balance between soil sustainability, high yields, and minimized costs ( Marasca et al, 2016).…”

Conservation management practices are beneficial to the physical quality of the soil and agricultural sustainability. The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of remaining straw levels (0; 5; 10 and 15 Mg ha-1) on soil physical attributes and sugarcane productivity components (third cut), in three seasons - 1 ( variety RB 855156), 2 (variety RB 835486) and 3 (variety RB 835054). For physical analyses of density, macroporosity, microporosity, and total porosity, soil samples were collected in 0.00-0.05; 0.05-0.10; 0.10-0.15, and 0.15-0.20 m layers. The soil resistance to penetration (RP) was evaluated up to 0.40 m deep, at the experimental setting up (third cut), and after 12 months, following the fourth cut. The number of stems ha-1, total recoverable sugar (TRS), the productivity of industrializable stalks (ISP), and sugar (TAH) were evaluated. At the end of the sugarcane harvest (first season), a reduction was found in the density and an increase in total porosity up to 0.20 m, an increase in macropores, in the 0.00-0.05 and 0.10-0.15 m layers, and RP reduction, in the 0.00-0.10 m layer. At the end of the second and third harvest seasons, RP increases of up to 0.30 m stand out. Straw levels did not influence stalk and sugar productivity in the first and second seasons, and in the third harvest season, maximum stalk and sugar productivity was obtained by maintaining 5 Mg ha-1 of straw.

“…Research with the aim of proposing conservation practices for soil management in different edaphoclimatic environments for sugarcane production is essential for the sustainability of these systems, especially in environments with soil under physical and/or chemical restrictions and water deficit during periods of the year. Thus, management practices for soil cultivated with sugarcane can be selected to provide the appropriate balance between soil sustainability, high yields, and minimized costs (Marasca et al, 2016). In this context, no-tillage can be a viable alternative and its use has demonstrated promising results in terms of sugarcane productivity (Arcoverde et al, 2023), in addition to being a more economical type of cultivation than the conventional tillage system (Moraes et al, 2017;Arcoverde et al, 2019).…”

Sugarcane requires planning aimed at maintaining production levels, technological quality, and longevity of the sugarcane field, as it is a semi-perennial crop. To this end, the adoption of soil management systems associated with the maintenance of remaining straw are some of the strategies aimed at protecting the soil structure and its properties vital to the sustainability of agricultural systems. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of soil management systems and remaining straw with and without ratoon chiseling on the optimum water range (OWR) and load-bearing capacity (LBC) of the soil. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks in a split-plot scheme, with four replications. The plots were composed of no-tillage and conventional tillage, the subplots consisted of three levels of remaining straw (0, 50, and 100%), and the subsubplots consisted of the use or not of chiseling. Samples with preserved structures were collected at depths of 0.05 and 0.15 m for the analysis of the physical indicators OWR and LBC. Maintaining 100% straw associated with the use of chiseling resulted in an increase in OWR in both soil management systems and depths. Maintaining straw at 50 and 100% also led to lower LBC values in the evaluated soil management systems and depths, suggesting an improvement in soil physical quality. The use of chiseling of ratoons in conventional tillage promoted higher LBC values, indicating possible additional soil compaction in these areas.

“…In recent years, sugarcane yield has achieved a certain level, and the economic efficiency of production has decreased [6,7]. This may be owing to the shallow plow layer, low fertilizer utilization rate [8], and degradation in physical, chemical, and biological soil properties [9][10][11][12].…”

Sugarcane yield in China is low because of the shallow A-horizon soil layer, or as it is commonly called by farmers, the “plow soil layer”, as well as low soil organic matter and fertilizer utilization efficiency. Fenlong-ridging deep tillage (FT), also called vertical rotary tillage, and amendment with biochar have been shown to improve soil quality and crop yield. In this study, field trials were conducted with newly planted and ratoon sugarcane to evaluate the effectiveness of FT, together with amendment with biochar and nitrogen fertilization, to improve sugarcane yield. The treatments were conventional tillage with chemical fertilizer without biochar (CT-CF, which was the control of this experiment), FT with chemical fertilizer without biochar (FT-CF), conventional tillage with chemical fertilizer mixed with biochar (CT-CFB), and FT with chemical fertilizer mixed with biochar (FT-CFB). FT-CFB treatment presented higher soil porosity, as well as higher contents of available N, P, K, total N, and organic matter, and lower soil bulk density. Similarly, results showed that FT-CFB presented higher sugarcane root fresh and dry weights, higher germination percentage, higher tiller number, and higher yield with statistically significant differences among treatments for both newly planted and ratoon sugarcane plants. Significant interactions between biochar and FT were observed for these crop traits. The interactions of FT and amendment with biochar improved the soil’s physical and chemical properties and increased the available nutrients, resulting in improved root growth and sugarcane yield. The statistical results of the present study imply that Fenlong-ridging deep tillage combined with chemical fertilizer mixed with biochar (FT-CFB) application is a new promising farm management practice for improving the soil’s physical and chemical properties and root growth, increasing total yield in China’s sugarcane belt area.
