Evaluation of harrowing intensity on surface crusting on an oxisol of the eastern plains of Colombia: I. Chemical and textural characterization in soil surface Evaluación del efecto de la intensidad de labranza en la formación de costra superficial de un oxisol de sabana en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia: I. Caracterización química y textural en superficie

A field trial was conducted to evaluate the cumulative effects of fertilization and tilling on corn crop and introduced pasture under no grazing. Changes in soil physical and chemical parameters were evaluated in the first centimeter depth of top soil of field plots that were established in 1995 in Matazul farm located at the east of Puerto Lopez, Meta, Colombia. After eight years of establishment, results showed that corn system significantly improved soil fertility of savanna but soil stabilizer parameters such as organic matter, organic–Fe and fine silt were negatively affected. These effec... Mehr ...

A field trial was conducted to evaluate the cumulative effects of fertilization and tilling on corn crop and introduced pasture under no grazing. Changes in soil physical and chemical parameters were evaluated in the first centimeter depth of top soil of field plots that were established in 1995 in Matazul farm located at the east of Puerto Lopez, Meta, Colombia. After eight years of establishment, results showed that corn system significantly improved soil fertility of savanna but soil stabilizer parameters such as organic matter, organic–Fe and fine silt were negatively affected. These effects were more pronounced with harrowing intensity. The system of improved pastures significantly increased soil organic matter and pH but with a tendency to decrease with tilling. These results point out the need for improved pasture phase in the rotation for sustainable land management and agricultural productivity. Se planteó un ensayo de campo para evaluar los efectos acumulados de la fertilización y la labranza en el cultivo de maíz y en pastos sin carga animal. Se evaluaron cambios en parámetros químicos y físicos del suelo en el primer centímetro de suelo de parcelas que se establecieron en 1995 en la finca Matazul, ubicada al este de Puerto López – Meta, Colombia. Al cabo de ocho años, los resultados indicaron que el sistema de maíz mejoró significativamente la fertilidad de la sabana, pero empeoró parámetros estabilizadores del suelo como materia orgánica, Fe–orgánico y limo fino, y estos efectos se pronunciaron con la intensidad de la labranza. El sistema de pastos mejorados incrementó significativamente la materia orgánica y el pH del suelo, pero con tendencia a disminuir con la labranza. Estos resultados puntualizan la necesidad de considerar una fase de pastos en rotación para mejorar el manejo de la tierra y la sostenibilidad de la producción agrícola.
