Physical degradation of a red Latosol Used for intensive forage production
01/Oct/2007
The intensive traffic of agricultural machines on soils used for hay production can result in soil quality degradation. The hypothesis evaluated was that systems of intensive hay production cause soil physical degradation. The objective of this study was to quantify the soil physical properties and morphological attributes to recognize and identify the soil physical degradation of a Red Latosol (Typic Haplorthox) cropped with Tifton 85 forage (Cynodon spp) for hay production, in western Paraná state, southern Brazil. A native forest […]
