Total porosity and bulk density are strongly affected by soil management, which is reflects directly in agricultural productivity. In 2005, plant attributes were analyzed in an irrigated fall corn crop under no-tillage besides some soil characteristics (total porosity-TP and bulk density-BD), in a Haplic Acrustox on the Fazenda Bonança (Dahma Agricultural Company) in Pereira Barreto County, Sao Paulo State, Brazil (20 ° 40 ‘  12 ” latitude S; 51 ° 01 ’50 ” longitude W). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the variability, and linear and […]

The soil particle-size distribution has great influence on the plant yield. In the 2002/2003 growing season, plant and soil attributes of an experimental station of the Faculdade de Engenharia/UNESP (Ilha Solteira/SP – Brazil) were analyzed: common bean grain yield (GP), straw yield (SP), clay content (CL), silt (SI) and sand (SA) of a Red Latosol (Oxisol) under no-tillage. The objective was to analyze the variability of the evaluated attributes to characterize spatial dependences and to study linear and spatial correlations […]
