Nutrient cycling and balance in integrated crop-livestock systems (ICL) are processes that involves soil, plant and animal components, beyond fertilization. Animal management, by modifying soil biotic and abiotic conditions, also influences this process as it affects the residue decomposition rate. The objective was to evaluate potassium (K) cycling and balance in an ICL system with grazing (black oat and ryegrass) intensities in the winter, followed by soybean cultivated in the summer. The experiment was conducted as of May of 2001 […]
