ABSTRACT Although numerous studies have been conducted with common bean regarding nitrogen (N) dose, time of application, and source in no-till (NT) soils in Brazil, the heterogeneity of the results makes it difficult to establish technical recommendations based on individualized studies. This meta-analysis aimed to rank the main factors influencing common bean response to N management in NT areas. The database consisted of 99 scientific papers that encompassed 160 trials and 2394 observations. In general, the probability of obtaining a […]

Problems related to leaf retention and lack of uniformity in maturation in the soybean crop have been reported in various regions of Brazil, including the State of Parana, presenting a challenge to Brazilian researchers. Several hypotheses for this problem have been raised in regard to plants nutritional imbalance and intensification of the problem, but no definitive conclusion has been reached. A field experiment was carried out at the Copacol Experimental Farm in Cafelandia, PR, to evaluate how nitrogen availability via […]
