ABSTRACT Potassium (K) is one of the most highly accumulating nutrients in Eucalyptus and, consequently, is heavily exported by the harvesting of wood. Moreover, its availability in the soil in most Brazilian plantation areas is very low, especially in the regions of the Cerrado biome, which has soils with low natural fertility and marked water deficits, implying a lack of nutrient supply and, consequently, a less efficient water use. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of K fertilization on […]

ABSTRACT Modern high-yielding rice cultivars possibly take up and remove greater quantities of macronutrients than traditional and intermediate cultivars. This study was carried out with the aim of evaluating the extraction and removal of macronutrients by upland rice cultivars. These information are of utmost importance for the correct fertilizer management. The treatments consisted of three upland rice cultivars (Caiapó, a traditional type; BRS Primavera, an intermediate type; and Maravilha, a modern type). Macronutrient accumulation by rice cultivars up to the […]

O nitrogênio é requerido em grandes quantidades pelo eucalipto; entretanto, as repostas à aplicação desse nutriente são divergentes. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o comportamento diferenciado em crescimento, na nutrição mineral e nas trocas gasosas de clones de eucalipto supridos com N. Os tratamentos consistiram de dois clones de eucalipto (VM-01 e I-144) e seis doses de N (0; 0,74; 2,93; 4,39; 5,85; e 8 mmol L-1 de NH4NO3), dispostos em delineamento de blocos casualizados com cinco repetições. O […]
