The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different agricultural uses on alterations in the attributes of a medium-textured Latosol, in the region of cerrado and, in turn, on the formation of compacted and/or dense layers in the subsurface. In April, 1994, six sites were selected in the counties of Uberlândia and Monte Alegre de Minas, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where the soil was sampled in trenches: CC (Canadá Farm, cerrado vegetation); CP ( Canadá Farm, […]

In the no-tillage system, the absence of soil revolving, combined with the traffic of machines, promotes excessive soil surface compaction. An experiment was conducted in the county of Ponta Grossa, State of Paraná, Brazil, during the agricultural years of 1989/1990 and 1990/1991, with the objective of studying several factors that intervene in this process. This research compared the effects of three previous soil tillage methods and two liming levels on several physical properties of a clayey Dark Red Latosol under […]
