Effects of Nitrogen fertilisation and stocking rates on soil erosion and water infiltration in a Brazilian Cerrado farm

Soil physical properties and interrill erosion in agricultural production systems after 20 years of cultivation

“…The greater biomass production contributed to maintaining high levels of OC-also found by Salton et al (2011)-and high aggregate stability (MWD and GMD). Recent studies showed that pasture and cattle management have the potential to improve infiltration with rates similar to native vegetation, such as crop-livestock rotation and rotational stocking with an adaptive stocking rate (Sone et al, 2019(Sone et al, , 2020, as in PP and CL systems. Those authors and Ernst et al (2018) also reported that the rotation period between cropping and livestock production affects soil erosion and water infiltration rates, so it Rev Bras Cienc Solo 2021;45:e0210039 is key to adjust the rotation period to achieve adequate soil physical properties for environmental and agricultural sustainability.…”

Intermittent stocking strategies for the management of Marandu palisade grass in the Brazilian Cerrado biome

“…Marandu has gained popularity due to its ability to adapt to edaphic conditions and respond to intensification in different production systems (Euclides et al, 2019). However, inadequate grazing management may lead to inefficient use of the forage produced and even pasture degradation (Sone et al, 2020), regardless of the cultivars involved.…”

Agricultural expansion affects soil quality indicators in the MATOPIBA region: Brazil\'s new agricultural frontier

“…However, it may be a way to reset the system and establish a new rotational/diverse system with efficiency. Similarly, this practice could be applied to restore the quality of the PA areas, which could also be substantially improved by adjusting the animal stocking rate, grazing control (e.g., rotational grazing), and improving soil fertility (Sone et al, 2020;. Finally, the adoption of more complex productive models such as integrated crop-livestock systems is also a promising option to recover and improve the soil quality of these areas.…”
