In no-tillage or in crop-livestock integration systems, it is common the cultivation of common bean in succession to grasses. Due to the root systems morphology, differential secretion of various organic compounds by the roots, and crop residue decomposition, grasses may affect the soil P availability and the acquisition and utilization of P sources, apparently with low agronomic efficiency, for crops in succession. This study was carried out to evaluate the use of P in common bean yield in succession to […]

The efficiency of three new phosphate fertilizers (test sources, TS) was assessed and compared to traditional P fertilizers in terms of nutrition and yield of soybeans, on three different soils: a Quartzarenic Neosol, a loamy dystrophic Red-Yellow Latosol, and a clayey dystrophic Red-Yellow Latosol. The greenhouse experiments, in a factorial layout of (2 x 4) + 8, compared two TS (TS1 and TS2) in four doses, with eight additional treatments for each soil [triple superphosphate with calcitic lime, triple superphosphate […]
