O lodo de esgoto é um resíduo com elevado teor de matéria orgânica de rápida decomposição, o qual pode ser utilizado para a recuperação física de áreas degradadas. Diante disso, objetivou-se avaliar as alterações nos atributos físicos de um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico degradado no curto prazo em resposta à aplicação de lodo de esgoto. O delineamento utilizado foi blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 6 x 3 com quatro repetições. O primeiro fator referente às doses de lodo de esgoto (0, 10, 20, 40, 60 e 80 mg ha-1) e o segundo a três profundidades de avaliação do solo (0 - 10, 10 - 20 e 20 - 30 cm). A avaliação da resistência a penetração e a coleta das amostras indeformadas para análise da densidade do solo, macroporosidade, microporosidade e porosidade total foram coletadas aos 60 e 120 dias da implantação. Considerando o tipo de solo e o curto período de estudo (2 meses) a utilização do lodo de esgoto nas doses 60 e 80 mg ha-1 promove resultados positivos para os atributos densidade do solo, porosidade total e microporosidade nas camadas 0 - 10 e 10-20 cm de profundidade.Palavras-chave: degradação do solo, biossólido, condicionador do solo. PHYSICAL QUALITY OF SOIL AFTER THE APPLICATION OF SEWAGE SLUDGE ABSTRACT:Sewage sludge is a residue with a high organic matter content of fast decomposition, which can be used for the physical recovery of degraded areas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in the physical attributes of a dystrophic Red Latosol in the short term in response to the application of sewage sludge. The design was randomized blocks in a 6 x 3 factorial scheme with four replications. The first factor for sewage sludge doses (0, 10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 mg ha-1) and the second one at three soil depths (0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm). The evaluation of the resistance to penetration and the collection of undisturbed samples for analysis of soil density, macroporosity, microporosity and total porosity were collected at 60 and 120 days of implantation. Considering the type of soil and the short period of study (2 months), the use of sewage sludge at doses 60 and 80 mg ha-1 promotes positive results for attributes soil density, total porosity and microporosity in layers 0 - 10 and 10-20 cm deep.Keywords: soil degradation, biosolid, soil conditioner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
