Storage and fractions of organic matter of an Oxisol under coffee plantations with different plant spacings
01/Dec/2007
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of coffee planting spacing on soil carbon and nitrogen storage and on the contents and distribution of organic matter fractions (light and heavy) of a dystroferric Red Latosol (Oxisol). An experiment installed 11 years ago on an experimental farm of EPAMIG in Machado (Minas Gerais State, Brazil) was evaluated. The treatments consisted of the combination of four spacings between rows (2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 m) with three spacings between plants (0.5, 0.75 and […]
