Efeito residual do gesso e adubação fosfatada nas culturas da braquiária e da soja

Abstract

The Brachiaria genus has an important role, through the use of previously neglected soils, but which enabled the cattle ranching in the Cerrados region. With the use of these weak soils, it started the most efficient management alternatives. Among the limitations in Cerrado soils, the high Al3+ content is interchangeable along the profile, and the use of liming raises the pH with consequent neutralization of toxic aluminum. But limestone has limited soil mobility restricting root growth to the surface layers, so gypsum has provided the neutralization of Al in subsurface as well as providing Ca and S at greater depths. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of gypsum associated with phosphate fertilization, in the brachiaria and soybean cultures development cultivated in sequence. The experiment was carried out in a split plot randomized block design, in a 5x3 factorial scheme, with four replications. The first factor corresponded to gypsum rates (0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 Mg ha-1) and the second factor corresponded phosphorus rates (0, 40 e 80 kg ha-1 de P2O5). The gypsum provides improvements in forage cause the TMS reduction and MM elevation with the rate 80 kg ha-1 de P2O5. In the phosphate fertilization absence decreases the brachiaria dry mass production. The gypsum provides elevation of Ca, S and N contents in soybean with consequent reduction of K and Mg contents. The soybean nutrition changes provided by gypsum, isn’t enough to change the grains productivity. the phosphate fertilization absence for two consecutive crops in soil with the P content classified appropriate reduce the soybean productivity.
