ABSTRACT Soil fauna is an important indicator of soil quality. This study aimed to evaluate soil fauna collected using pitfall traps and soil chemical and microbiological properties under different land uses in the Cerrado. The systems evaluated were soybean under 14-year no-till; soybean under 3-year no-till; eucalyptus rows; soybean grown between eucalyptus rows, and native Cerrado. Collected individuals were identified as classes, subclasses, order, or family classes. We evaluated the number of individuals trap-1 day-1, total richness, average richness, Shannon […]

ABSTRACT Soil quality can be understood as its capacity to provide several essential services within the ecosystem and has been used to understand the impact of different managements, providing information that proves the benefits and your maintenance of the agroecosystem. To understand the impact of different managements, this study aimed to compare the chemical, physical, and biological soil properties in pasture areas managed with different recovery times in an integrated crop-livestock system about perennial pastures and secondary forest. The following […]

ABSTRACT Agroforestry systems have the potential to increase soil organic matter, with effects on soil carbon and nitrogen contents, but information on the application of these systems in semi-arid regions is still scarce. This study aimed to analyze soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in the conversion of native forest from the Caatinga Biome into integrated agriculture systems in the Brazilian semi-arid region. We evaluated the following management systems in the Haplic Inceptisol (Cambissolo Háplico eutrófico): (1) Intercropping area, cultivated with […]
Nitrogen Supply For Summer Crops Through Early Application In Ryegrass Grazed By Sheep
01/Sep/2015
ABSTRACT Greater nitrogen (N) cycling is sought through Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems (ICLS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early fertilization of nitrogen applied to ryegrass grazed by sheep on the nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) of summer crops in ICLS. This study was carried out in a long-term protocol managed in the winter under two stocking methods, continuous and rotational, and two grazing intensities, moderate and low, with four replications. In summer, the area was divided […]
