Continuous no tillage system has often resulted in soil compactation affecting soil porosity, water movement into the soil profile and plant development. Tillage systems that do not affect surface cover and prevent soil compactation can improve soil properties and increase crop conditions of growth. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a deep tillage system on porosity, aggregation, penetration resistance and soil water infiltration . The study site has been under no tillage for 12 years. The treatments were: SD (direct drilling, no tillage) and SDE (direct drilling, paratill tillage). Results for soil between 0-20 cm, indicate that total porosity, macro and mesoporosity were greater in SDE, while the penetration resistance was lower. For the size aggregate distribution, the mean weigh diameter and the aggregate stability were not different between SD and SDE. Results for soil between 20-35 cm of thickness show soil deterioration due to tillage. Total porosity was lower, while bulk density, penetration resistance and aggregate stability were greater in SDE, because of cohesion increment. Deep tillage improves superficial soil conditions near 20 cm in depth, affecting positively the infiltration rate only near shanks observations.
En la región pampeana argentina, la transformación del territorio con fines productivos e inmobiliarios tuvo impactos biofísicos y sociales de diferente magnitud. Frente a los conflictos generados entre la zona urbana y la rural las normativas locales intentan proteger el ambiente estableciendo zonas de resguardo donde se prohibe el uso de fitosanitarios y, por otra parte, promoviendo el arbolado. En este trabajo se analiza la aptitud de las tierras para uso forestal de los periurbanos correspondientes a la cuenca del arroyo Ludueña, Santa Fe, Argentina. Aplicando el sistema de evaluación de tierras para usos específicos propuesto por FAO (FAO, 1976) se cartografiaron las unidades de tierras con aptitud para plantaciones forestales comerciales utilizando especies de género Popolus, Salix y Eucalyptus. Se identificaron dos unidades edáficas que representan en promedio un 54% de las áreas de uso restringido de fitosanitarios con aptitud moderada a marginal para los usos propuestos. La delimitación precisa de estos sitios en derredor de las localidades constituye la herramienta básica para planificar su uso, en combinación con los planes urbanos locales ya existentes. No obstante, un 41% de la superficie de las áreas analizadas no presenta aptitud para los usos propuestos, por lo que deberían evaluarse otros usos forestales que incluyan especies nativas.
