“…It is unclear why there was an effect of tillage in this growing season 6 Applied and Environmental Soil Science but not in the previous seasons. Some studies suggested that tillage management can have an impact on metal availability in soils by its influence on soil properties such as pH, organic carbon content and cation exchange capacity [29,39]. This assumption, however, is not supported in this study because soil concentrations of extractable Cd and Zn were not consistently affected by tillage management (data not present).…”

Field experiments were conducted at two locations in Manitoba, Canada, to determine the effect of crop rotation, phosphorus (P) fertilization and tillage on grain yield and grain concentrations of Cd and Zn in durum wheat (Triticum durum L.). Compared to conventional tillage (CT), reduced tillage (RT) management decreased grain Cd and increased grain yield and grain Zn in half of the site-years. The type of preceding crops of spring wheat-flax or canola-flax had little influence. Rate and timing of P application had little effect on grain Cd, but increasing P rate tended to decrease grain Zn. No interactive effect was detected among tested factors. Grain Zn was not related to grain Cd, but positively to other nutrients such as Fe, Mn, P, Ca, K, and Mg. Both grain Zn and Fe correlated positively with grain protein content, suggesting protein may represent a sink for micronutrients. The study suggested that the tillage management may have beneficial effects on both grain yield and quality. Phosphorus fertilizer can remain available for subsequent crops and high annual inputs in the crop sequence may decrease crop grain Zn. Understanding the environment is important in determining the impact of agricultural management on agronomic and nutrient traits.

“…Data suggest that the litter addition could contribute to the survival if accompanied by a nutrient supply, in this case represented by the forest soil. On the other hand, addition of dead plant material to the soil increases the microbial activities and therefore the nitrogen consumption (Smettem et al, 1992), which requires compensation.…”

-Direct seeding of native tree species could be a low cost alternative for forest restoration. The paper aimed at evaluate direct seeding of two species from Southern Brazil, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi and Citharexylum solanaceum Chamisso, comparing with seedling planting. The effects and costs of forest topsoil and forest litter addition were also evaluated in the direct seeding. The experiment was accomplished during 2009/2010. The treatments of direct seeding were CONTROL -control without seeding, TSEED -only seeding, TLITTER-seeding with forest litter cover, TTOPSOIL -seeding with forest topsoil, TBOTH -seeding with forest litter and with forest topsoil, LTCONTROL -control with forest litter and forest topsoil. The species C. solanaceum did not germinate at field. The species S. terebinthifolius had higher germination in the TBOTH, either at 30 days (21.6%) and 360 days (9.0%), which correspond to a density of 9,000 plants · ha-1 after 360 days. The litter singly contributed less to the survival than the forest soil, however a synergic effect between the two inputs was observed. The TBOTH presented a higher growth (42 cm of plant height at 360 days). The costs of direct seeding with inputs (singly or combined) were higher than the conventional seedling planting in relation to the area unity. However, the cost of direct seeding without addition of inputs was higher considering the cost per survivor seedlings. Planted seedling of S. terebinthifolius reached 88.5 cm of height after 360 days. Seedlings of S. terebinthifolius generated by direct seeding reached the average of 5.1 and 42.0 cm of height in the TSEED and TBOTH treatments, respectively.

AVALIAÇÃO DA SEMEADURA DIRETA DE DUAS ESPÉCIES DE ÁRVORES NEOTROPICAIS COM O USO DE INSUMOS NATURAISRESUMO -A semeadura direta de espécies arbóreas nativas pode ser uma alternativa de baixo custo para a restauração florestal. O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a semeadura direta de duas espécies do Sul do Brasil, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi e Citharexylum solanaceum Chamisso, comparando com um plantio de mudas. Os efeitos e os custos da adição de solo florestal e serapilheira também foram avaliados na semeadura direta. O experimento foi realizado durante 2009/2010. Os tratamentos de semeadura direta foram CONTROL -controle sem semeadura, TSEED -somente semeadura, TLITTER -semeadura com serapilheira, TTOPSOIL -semeadura com solo florestal, TBOTH -semeadura com serapilheira e com solo florestal, LTCONTROL -controle com serapilheira e solo florestal. A espécie C. solanaceum não germinou no campo. A espécie S. terebinthifolius apresentou maior germinação na TBOTH com 30 dias (21,6%) e 360 dias (9,0%), correspondendo a uma densidade de 9.000 plantas/ha aos 360 dias. A semeadura com serapilheira isoladamente contribuiu menos para a sobrevivência do que o solo florestal, no entanto, um efeito sinérgico entre os dois tratamentos foi observado. O TBOTH proporcionou maior cresci...

“…El efecto favorable de la materia orgánica del suelo sobre el rendimiento de los cultivos se dio de diferentes maneras: por el aporte de elementos nutritivos que hace en su descomposición y mineralización debido a la acción de los microorganismos del suelo (Scoones y Toulmin, 1998); la protección que puede originar de algunos elementos nutritivos en contra de su fijación por la arcilla del suelo (Castellanos et al, 2000); el incremento de la capacidad de intercambio de cationes que causa y favorece la retención de cationes en contra de la lixiviación (Smettem et al, 1992); el efecto favorable sobre las propiedades físicas, como la agregación de las partículas y estructura y, consecuentemente, sobre los flujos de agua, aire y calor; y el desarrollo de la raíz de las plantas (Oades, 1993;Lao et al, 2004;Alvarado-Fuentes et al, 2009).…”

The objective of this study was to determinate the effect of increasing soil organic matter on fruit yield of mango trees under irrigated conditions, in Luvisols of Campeche State, Mexico. In every 48 commercial orchards and five sites under natural forest vegetation, soil samples were taken in order to determine physical and chemical properties. Furthermore, in orchards sites, leaf sampling was carried out, and data on orchard management practices and fruit yield also were registered. The collected data was analyzed using regression analysis. From soil organic matter content in continues sole maize cropping system under rainfed agriculture or irrigated vegetables, soil organic matter content in mango orchards increased from 3.26% in a period since 1 to 5 years to 5.66% after a period of 16 to 30 years. In soil under natural forest vegetation, organic matter content was 5.36%. Increasing soil organic matter content and tree age, fruit yield increased by 9.5 t/ha after 26 to 30 years under cultivation.
