Caracterização do solo sob diferentes formas de manejo na Fazenda Escola do IFPI - Uruçuí

Abstract

The current high demand for food production and the growing projections, exposes the importance of maintaining the existing productive areas. One of the main observations is linked to the maintenance of the physical quality of the soil, for which it is evaluated, studied and seeks to improve the physical attributes of the soil. These attributes can be directly related to the management of the area and to the planting system used, with no-tillage as the most conservationist method. The objective of this work was to evaluate the characteristics of soil density, total porosity, macro and microporosity, moisture and soil resistance to penetration in the school farm of IFPI-Uruçuí, with different managements. The areas studied were Fruit (FR), Vegetables (HO), Pasture (PA), Large Crops (GC) and Mata Nativa (MN). The experiment took place at IFPI-Uruçuí, in the school farm department. The results were organized and tabulated in the Libre Office Calc, where the calculations proposed by the formulas were made and the Tukey test at 5% probability was used for statistical analysis. The observed results highlighted the high resistance to penetration of the Large Crops and Pasture area. It was evidenced that the Vegetable area had the best indexes for the parameters, in addition to concluding that the areas need adequate soil management.
