ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, and its availability is often influenced by management systems adopted over time. Adopting management systems, such as no-tillage, combined with cover crops, can influence soil P availability through factors including soil organic matter accumulation. This study aimed to evaluate how management systems and cover crops influence different P fractions and organic matter. Furthermore, the effect of the time since the implementation of management systems on phosphorus (P) availability and soil […]

Improper tillage operations cause serious problems of soil conservation, above all compaction, causing pore space reduction of mainly the macropores, and affecting the physical-hydric properties. The purpose of this study was to verify the influence of different periods of management systems on the maximum density of a Red Oxisol in Jaboticabal, São Paulo State, and establish correlations with soybean yield, relative density and the soil critical moisture for compaction. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design with a […]
