| Abstract | |
The influence of agricultural practices on the issue of greenhouse gases is a matter of great interest, especially when it comes to CO2, the main component of the additional greenhouse effect. Soil preparation is one of the agricultural activities that will promote the decomposition of organic matter and CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. Disruption of aggregates of the soil by conventional tillage promoted, exposes the organic matter oxidation and leading to the rapid flow of CO2 into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is believed that the adoption of planting system with reduced soil preparation reconciled crop rotation in the culture of sugar cane can contribute to a positive balance of CO2. Therefore, the research is based on the following assumptions: i) the preparation of conventional soil operation associated with the adoption of crop rotation with Crotalaria juncea potentiate the CO2 emissions of the soil ii) Crop rotation in sugar cane, in sandy soils, provides greater variations in soil CO2 flux and soil properties in relation to clayey soils. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tillage and crop rotation on a CO2 stream and their correlation with the attributes of two different textural classes of soils cultivated with sugar cane. The work was conducted under field conditions in two plants in the state of São Paulo. The experimental design was a randomized block in split plot with four replications. The plot involves an area with and without rotation and the subplots two soil preparation conditions (minimum tillage and conventional tillage). Each subplot consisted of 15 lines of sugar cane, with spacing of 1.5 m and 34 m long. Periodic evaluations were performed in order to monitor changes in the areas of CO2 flow in the chemical, physical, microbial biomass carbon. There was a higher CO2 emissions of the clay soil area. Crop rotation increased FCO2 only in sandy soil area because the crop residues from crop rotation have modified the physical attributes that favored FCO2. The FCO2 was higher in clay soil area in relation to the sandy soil. In the areas of sandy soil and clay the effect of the preparation was unclear, with more emphasis in crop rotation on the soil (AU) | |
