| Abstract | |
The present work was carried out with the objective of evaluating responses of Brachiaria decumbens Stapf. grown in a soil from a degraded pasture. The experiment was conducted in a grenhouse in the Departamento de Ciências Biológicas at the "Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz" - USP. The soil was classified as an Entissol and it was collected from a layer of 0 to 20 cm. The pots were filled with 10 kg of this soil and lime rates were incubated for 60 days. The experimental arrange was a 4x4x3 factorial with nitrogen (0, 180, 630 and 1080 mg kg -1 ), lime (0, 1587.6, 3175.2 and 4762.8 mg kg -1 ) and sulfur (0, 108 and 216 mg kg -1 ), and it was used a randomized complete block design, with three replications. Fertilization with P, K Cu, Zn and S was done at sowing, and N was applied 13 days that. Plants was harvested twice, and plant tops was separated in emergent leaves (EL), laminae of recently expanded leaves (RL), laminae of mature leaves (ML) and culms plus sheaths (CS), Leaf area was determined by measuring EL, LR and ML. SPAD values (chlorophyll content) were evaluated one day before each harvests. The collected material was dried at 65 0 C during 72 hours in an oven with circulating air. The root system was collected and washed following the second harvest. Nutrient concentrations in the forage dry matter and roots were determined after weighting and grinding the samples. Results showed significant effect (P<0.05) for nitrogen supply in the first harvest, and significant interaction for sulfur nitrogen on plant tops dry matter in the first and the second harvests. Roots dry matter had significant (P<0.05) effect for nitrogen rates. Significancies were observed for nitrogen nitrogen X sulfur interaction for SPAD values, for nitrogen X lime for leaf area and for lime X nitrogen X sulfur for plant tillering at second harvest. The nitrogen, sulfur and lime had significant effects on nutrients concentrations, as well as by interaction of nitrogen X sulfur and nitrogen X lime for some parts of plant tops. (AU) | |
