Brazil has about 196 million hectares of grasslands, equivalent to 71% of the country's agricultural area and 23% of the country. The vast majority of pasture areas are occupied by tropical forage grasses and one of the most used species is Panicum maximum, and tanzania guinea grass is one of the largely planted cultivars of this species. The fact that Tanzania guinea grass have high agri…
Major pasturelands in Brazil are degraded as a consequence of inadequate management and lack of nutrient applications (among them is sulfur). However, the supply of nutrients by phosphate fertilizers and by-products, sometimes ilegaly applied as sewage sludge, has contributed to include heavy metals in these areas (particularly cadmium) that can change plant growth. The objective is to ev…
Nitrogen and sulfur are essential elements for plant growth and their availabilities may change plant morpho-productive, nutritional and biochemical characteristics. In this research the objective is to study the influence of nitrogen forms and rates, associated or not with sulfur rates in morpho-productive, nutritional and biochemical plant attributes, that can influence grasses dry matt…

Copper (Cu) toxicity negatively affects nitrogen (N) metabolism, photosynthetic activity and causes oxidative stress in plants, limiting plant growth and remediation of these contaminated areas by plants. Nevertheless, adequate nutrition with proportions of NO¬3-/NH4+ may increase the tolerance of plants to Cu toxicity. Currently, there are no studies that show such effects, especially in…
