A erosão hídrica contribui para a redução da sustentabilidade dos sistemas agrícolas. O presente estudo avaliou, sob condições de chuva natural, as perdas de solo, água, nutrientes e matéria orgânica em um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico típico, com 12 % de declividade, localizado na região de Lavras (MG). O trabalho foi conduzido em parcelas experimentais de perdas de solo. Os sistemas de manejo estudados foram: café sob cultivo convencional, com capina manual (CCC); cultivo convencional, com roçado (CCR); cultivo convencional, com utilização de herbicida (CCH); cultivo orgânico, com capina manual (COC); cultivo orgânico, com roçado (COR); e como referência parcela com solo descoberto (SD). Nos sistemas de manejo em que foi mantida a cobertura da vegetação espontânea (roçado), obteve-se maior eficiência de proteção do solo quando comparado aos sistemas onde houve exposição do solo (capina). No sistema com utilização de herbicida, observou-se um comportamento intermediário. Todos os sistemas de manejo estudados se mostraram conservacionistas quanto à proteção do solo em relação à erosão hídrica, onde o espaçamento adensado merece ser enfatizado.

This work evaluated the chemical quality of organic matter (OM) of a Brazilian Oxisol cultivated with coffee plants, under organic and conventional managements. Total organic C (TOC), light fraction C (LF-C) and C in humic (HA-C) and fulvic (FA-C) acids fractions was measured. Amongst the evaluated indexes, TOC and LF-C discriminated better OM attributes as a function of management. The stratification ratio (TOC5-10cm/TOC10-20cm) did not show differences between the systems studied. The organic system can contribute to the sustainability of coffee plantations in Brazil, because it maintains the chemical attributes of OM closer to the indexes verified under forest conditions.

(Editora UFLA, 2015) Silva, Bruno Montoani; Santos, Walbert Junior Reis dos; Oliveira, Geraldo César de; Lima, José Maria de; Curi, Nilton; Marques, João José
The knowledge of the water content in the soil profile is essential for an efficient management of crop growth and development. This work aimed to use geostatistical techniques in a spatio-temporal study of soil moisture in an Oxisol in order to provide that information for improved crop management. Data were collected in a coffee crop area at São Roque de Minas, in the upper São Francisco River basin, MG state, Brazil. The soil moisture was measured with a multi-sensor capacitance (MCP) probe at 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 60- and 100-cm depths between March and December, 2010. After adjusting the spherical semivariogram model using ordinary least squares, best model, the values were interpolated by kriging in order to have a continuous surface relating depth x time (CSDT) and the soil water availability to plant (SWAP). The results allowed additional insight on the dynamics of soil water and its availability to plant, and pointed to the effects of climate on the soil water content. These results also allowed identifying when and where there was greater water consumption by the plants, and the soil layers where water was available and potentially explored by the plant root system.

(Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2011-03) Reis, Thiago Henrique Pereira; Guimarães, Paulo Tácito Gontijo; Furtini Neto, Antônio Eduardo; Guerra, Antônio Fernando; Curi, Nilton
Research data have demonstrated that the P demand of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is similar to that of short-cycle crops. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of annual P fertilization on the soil P status by the quantification of labile, moderately labile, low-labile, and total P fractions, associating them to coffee yield. The experiment was installed in a typical dystrophic Red Latosol (Oxisol) cultivated with irrigated coffee annually fertilized with triple superphosphate at rates of 0, 50, 100, 200, and 400 kg ha -1 P2O5. Phosphorus fractions were determined in two soil layers: 0–10 and 10–20 cm. The P leaf contents and coffee yield in 2008 were also evaluated. The irrigated coffee responded to phosphate fertilization in the production phase with gains of up to 138 % in coffee yield by the application of 400 kg ha -1 P2O5. Coffee leaf P contents increased with P applications and stabilized around 1.98 g kg -1 , at rates of 270 kg ha -1 P2O5 and higher. Soil P application caused, in general, an increase in bioavailable P fractions, which constitute the main soil P reservoir.
Solubilização de fontes alternativas de potássio pelos ácidos húmicos, cítrico e casca de café
(Universidade Federal de Lavras, 2014-12-01) Pessoa, Rodrigo Souza; Curi, Nilton
Este trabalho foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a solubilidade das rochas sienito nefelínico e glauconita como fontes alternativas de K pelas matrizes orgânicas ácidos húmico e cítrico e pela casca de café, em tempos variando de 0 a 180 dias de incubação. O experimento foi conduzido no laboratório de fertilidade no Departamento de Ciência do Solo, na Universidade Federal de Lavras em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 90 tratamentos e três repetições. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em arranjo fatorial (2 x 3 x 7 + 3), sendo 2 rochas, sienito nefelínico e glauconita, incubadas com água e três matrizes orgânicas: ácido húmico, ácido cítrico e casca de café, em seis tempos de incubação distintos: 0, 7, 15, 30, 75, 120 e 180 dias. As rochas foram incubadas com as três matrizes orgânicas, que foram misturadas à rocha nas proporções de 0, 1, 2, 5 e 10% para os ácidos húmicos e cítrico, e de 0, 5, 10, 20 e 40% para casca de café. Foi avaliado o teor de K 2 O solúvel por diferentes extratores em ácido cítrico a 2% e em água de todos os tratamentos, nos tempos de incubação mencionados. A incubação e a aplicação das matrizes orgânicas em misturas às rochas sienito nefelínico e glauconita, de maneira geral, proporcionou um aumento significativo na solubilidade do K das rochas estudadas. Entre as matrizes orgânicas, observou-se que a casca de café foi a que proporcionou a maior liberação de K 2 O, para ambas as rochas de K, principalmente quando o extrator foi o ácido cítrico 2%, que se mostrou mais eficiente na extração de K 2 O em todos os tratamentos avaliados.

(Editora UFLA, 2015-11) Pessoa, Rodrigo Souza; Silva, Carlos Alberto; Moretti, Bruno Silva; Furtini Neto, Antônio Eduardo; Inda, Alberto Vasconcellos; Curi, Nilton
Brazil imports most of the potassium that it consumes in agriculture, however, such huge external dependence can be minimized with the use of alternative local K bearing rocks. This experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating the solubility of nepheline syenite and glauconite as a function of three organic matrices, humic acid, citric acid and coffee husk. Incubation of low grade K rocks and organic matrices were done in laboratory conditions, in a completely randomized design. Each rock was mixed with five different doses of each organic matrix and the potassium solubilized was measured periodically, during 180 days. Regardless of the organic matrix and its dose investigated, nepheline syenite samples released more K than the modified glauconite. Soluble K increased as the incubation time increased and its release was greater as the organic matrix dose increased. There was more soluble K when the coffee husk was mixed with the potassic rocks, in relation to the humic and citric acids.

Soil structure is modify when subjected to the agricultural process, i.e., a new spatial organization of the pores system is formed, with relation to the physical quality of it. Thus the aim of this work was to visualize and quantify, through X-ray CT scan, the pores distribution in an oxidic Latosol submitted to a conservation management system with different gypsum doses. Three random trenches were dug lengthwise along the plant row in a very clayey gibbsitic dystrophic Red Latosol, subjected to the following gypsum levels: G0: absence of gypsum; G7: 7 Mg ha-1 and G28: 28 Mg ha-1 of additional gypsum, applied to the surface of the plant row. Undisturbed soil samples were collected in plexiglass tubes at depths of 0.20-0.34, 0.80-0.94 and 1.50-1.64 m after six years of coffee cultivation for quantification of 3D pores obtained by X-ray CT scan. The spatial variability of the soil structure was evaluated by semivariograms generated by 3D images in grayscale. Distribution of the detectable pore diameter was conducted by data mining. Statistical analyzes employed packages 'geoR' to semivariogram and 'randomForest' for data mining in R language. A greater spatial continuity of the pores occurred in the G7 at the three depths. The combined effects of the management system promoted a greater spatial variability of the soil structure in the G28 treatment. Based on geostatistical analyses, it can be infer that the adoption of the system under study promoted changes in the pore network in all directions (X, Y and Z), however with better pores continuity in the vertical direction(Z).
Variações de curto prazo nas emissões de CO2 do solo em diferentes sistemas de manejo do cafeeiro
(Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2009) D’Andréa, Alexandre Fonseca; Silva, Marx Leandro Naves; Curi, Nilton; Freitas, Diego Antonio França de; Roscoe, Renato; Guimarães, Paulo Tácito Gontijo
Soil CO2 emissions represent an important component of carbon global cycle. However, information about short-term alterations of CO2 fluxes in soils of tropical regions are scarce. So, the objective of this study was to evaluate such variations in coffee plantations in Latosol (Oxisol). The CO2 emissions were not affected by environmental abiotic factors, such as temperature and soil water evaporation, but they were significantly correlated with the carbon content of microbial biomass (R=0.90, P<0.05). It happens a close relationship between root activity and soil CO2 emission in coffee plantations.
