ABSTRACT. The present work presents the use of gamma-ray spectrometry applied to precision agriculture in a sub-tropical area. Our dataset comprises measurements both in rock and residual soil. The soil dataset shows a reduction of 20% on U and Th and 10% on K, when compared to rock samples. This difference could be related to K supplementation associated to chemical fertilization.Keywords: gamma-ray spectrometry, agriculture, soils, fertilizers.RESUMO. O escopo deste trabalho consistiu no levantamento, processamento e interpretação dos dados de gamaespectrometria terrestre numaárea utilizada para cultivo agrícola. Os dados observados indicam a perda de radioelementos dos solos em relaçãoàs rochas dos quais são oriundos. A comparação entre medidas em rocha e solos no levantamento terrestre aponta, para estesúltimos, uma redução de cerca de 20% dos elementos urânio e tório, e cerca de 10% para o potássio. O menor percentual de perda para o potássioé associado, no presente trabalho, ao suprimento deste elemento no processo de fertilização química utilizada naárea de estudo.Os resultados aqui obtidos apontam para uma adequação do uso deste método geofísicoà identificação e ao monitoramento deáreas agrícolas no noroeste do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.
The effects of disposal of sludge from water treatment plant (WTS) in area damaged by laterite extraction and its consequences to soil and groundwater were investigated. Therefore, the presence and concentration of anthropogenic elements and chemical compounds were determinated. WTS disposal's influence was characterized by electroresistivity method. The WTS's geochemical dispersion was noticed in the first meters of the nonsaturated zone from the lending area. Lateritic profiles were characterized due to the large variation in chemical composition between the horizons. Infiltration and percolation of rainwater through the WTS have caused migration of total dissolved solids to the groundwater. WTS's disposing area has more similarities to local preserved vegetation than to gravel bed area. WTS can be considered a noninert residue if disposed in degraded areas located in regions with similar geological and hydrochemical characteristics.
ABSTRACT. EMBRAPA (Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária) and Brasília University developed a research project about the viability of carbonatite rock as agricultural fertilizer. As an initial experiment, several mixtures of carbonatite, limestone, phosphorous and potassium compounds were added as fertilizers in an oxisol area (red-latosol, according with Brazilian System of Soil Classification), in Distrito Federal, central Brazil. The experiment area was divided in 56 plots (4 × 7 m) and each plot received a fertilizer mixture. The purpose of this work was to verify if the addition of fertilizer mixture to the soil modified its radiometric and resistivity properties and if it is possible to identify this change. Gamma-ray and electrical resistivity measurements were obtained in an experimental area and in a natural savannah type vegetation area. The results showed that the fertilizer addition modified soil natural properties causing a small increase in K, U, Th levels and decreasing ten times electrical resistivity. A low contrast of radiation was observed between plots, and then it was not possible to differentiate the several treatments in base of gamma-ray measurements. Electrical resistivity was efficient to identify three groups of plots related to mixtures characteristics, respectively with phosphorous, potassium and limestone / carbonatite predominance.Keywords: gamma-ray spectrometry, cerrado, electrical resistivity. RESUMO.A Embrapa Cerrados e a Universidade de Brasília desenvolveram um projeto que estudou a viabilidade da aplicação de carbonatito como fertilizante agrícola. Como experimento piloto, utilizaram-se diferentes misturas de carbonatito, calcário, superfosfato triplo (SFT) e cloreto de potássio (KCl) como fertilizantes em umaárea de latossolo vermelho, na região central do Distrito Federal. Estaárea foi dividida em 56 parcelas medindo 4 × 7 m nas quais foram adicionadas as misturas de fertilizantes. Este trabalho teve por objetivo verificar se a adição das misturas ao solo modificou suas características radiométricas e de resistividade e seé possível identificar esta mudança. Realizaram-se medições da radiação gama e de resistividade elétrica naárea do experimento e em umaárea de cerrado nativo. Os resultados mostraram que a adição dos fertilizantes ao solo causou uma pequena elevação dos teores de K, U e Th e diminuiu cerca de dez vezes os valores de resistividade elétrica.Observou-se um baixo contraste radiométrico entre as parcelas que compõem o experimento, de modo que não foi possível diferenciar os vários tratamentos com base nas medidas gamaespectrométricas. A resistividade elétrica mostrou-se capaz de individualizar três grupos de parcelas em relaçãoàs características das misturas adicionadas, respectivamente com predomínio de SFT, de KCl e da mistura exclusiva de calcário e carbonatito.Palavras-chave: gamaespectrometria, cerrado, resistividade elétrica.
