Atributos da qualidade de um Planossolo em sistemas de Integração Lavoura-Pecuária no Bioma Pampa

Abstract

This study was conducted in areas of Crop-Livestock Integration System (CIS), located in the county of Capão do Leão, RS. The objective was to evaluate the quality of a Albaqualf in Crop-Livestock systems through physical, chemical and biological soil attributes. Four areas were used: one without grazing area, other with grazing in CIS, a continuous pasture area and a natural field area grazed. Samplings were carried out in all areas at depths of 0.00 - 0.05 m, 0.05 - 0.10 m and 0.10 - 0.20m for soil analysis on the following attributes: physical - macroporosity, microporosity, density and stability of stable aggregates in water; chemical- macro and micronutrients, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, organic matter, pH, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, carbon / nitrogen ratio and particle size physical fractionation of soil organic matter; biological - basal soil respiration, metabolic quotient, microbial biomass carbon, diversity and abundance of soil macrofauna and presence of Oligochaetas. The effect of grazing, the crop rotation and no-tillage system improved physical and biological soil quality, and preserved the chemical soil quality, especially in the layer of 0.00 - 0.05 m.
