Inadequate soil management has led to the degradation of physical, chemical and biological soil properties. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the yields and physical and chemical soil properties of a dystropherric Red Latosol (Oxisol) in the third year of a crop rotation that included green manures, with soybean or corn (summer) and common bean (winter) crops. The following green manure species were used: velvet bean, millet, sunnhemp, pigeon pea, cultivated under conventional tillage and recently adopted no-tillage. […]

In untilled soils with green manure cultivation in during the dry season and the management of the nitrogen fertilization usually change the dynamics and the recovery of the nitrogen in the soil-plant system. The objective of this study was to evaluate the amount of native soil nitrogen absorbed by corn under no-tillage and submitted to different N rates in succession to sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea), millet (Pennisetum americanum) and fallow in a Red Latosol in the Cerrado. The experiment was carried […]
