This study compared the residual effect of reactive natural phosphate originated from Morocco with that of triple superphosphate on the oat biomass production, soybean yield and yield components, availability of phosphorus and sulfur in the soil and determined these nutrient contents in soybean leaf tissue in response to the phosphorus and sulfur sources and doses. The study consisted of soybean and oat crops cultivated under minimum tillage cultivation system. The experiment had a complete randomized block design with four replications […]

The efficient use of phosphate fertilizers in soils of the tropical region is still a challenge, mainly regarding long-term soil management. Based on the cumulative response of three successive maize cultivations, alternatives of phosphorus supply combining P sources and application methods were compared in a formerly fertilized Red Argisol. Treatments arranged in a 4 x 3 + 1 factorial scheme represented by four P sources (180 kg ha-1 P2O5) as triple superphosphate – TS, magnesium termophosphate – MT, Arad reactive rock phosphate – RP, and Araxá […]
