Water storage in a Plinthaqualf cultivated with sugarcane under straw levels
The objective of this work was to evaluate water storage in a Plinthaqualf under different straw levels during the fourth ratoon season of a sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) crop. The study was conducted in the 2013/2014 crop season, with the cultivar SP-813250, at two soil depths (0.0-0.3 and 0.3-...

Zusammenfassung: | The objective of this work was to evaluate water storage in a Plinthaqualf under different straw levels during the fourth ratoon season of a sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) crop. The study was conducted in the 2013/2014 crop season, with the cultivar SP-813250, at two soil depths (0.0-0.3 and 0.3-0.6 m), in a randomized complete block design, with five straw levels (0.0, 4.2, 9.5, 13.0, and 18.4 Mg ha-1) and four replicates. Soil moisture content was monitored with a time-domain reflectometer. The straw provided gains of up to 20 Mg ha-1 stems and kept increased water storage in the soil, in comparison with the soil without straw, in all evaluated periods. Maintenance of up to 50% (9.5 Mg ha-1) of sugarcane straw on soil surface promotes better water retention in the soil per Mg of straw added and delays the reach of critical water storage in the soil by up to 11 days, when compared with soil without straw cover.
Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o armazenamento de água em um Plintossolo Argilúvico sob diferentes níveis de palhada durante o ciclo de quarta soca da cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum officinarum). O estudo foi conduzido na safra 2013/2014, com a cultivar SP-813250, em duas profundidades (0,0‒0,3 e 0,3‒0,6 m), em delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com cinco níveis de palhada (0,0, 4,2, 9,5, 13,0, e 18,4 Mg ha-1) e quatro repetições. A umidade do solo foi monitorada com reflectômetrio de domínio de tempo. A palhada proporcionou ganho de até 20 Mg ha-1 de colmos e manteve o solo com maior armazenamento de água do que o sem palhada, em todos os períodos avaliados. A manutenção de até 50% (9,5 Mg ha-1) de palhada de cana-de-açúcar sobre a superfície do solo promove melhor conservação de água no solo por Mg de palha adicionada e retarda em até 11 dias o alcance do armazenamento crítico de água no solo, em comparação ao solo sem cobertura de palha. |
