Avaliação dos desenvolvimento da caltura da soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) sob diferentes sistemas de preparo

Abstract

In modern agriculture the soy has a place of prominence, which is guaranteed for the high productivity, excellent yield in the market and mainly in the exportation of grains. It's known that in order to achieve a good produce an adequate plan of production and adequate techniques on the preparation of the soil according to its region of the country. This work was developed in the Universidade Estadual Paulista, Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Veterinárias, Campus de Jaboticabal, SP, with the objective of analyze the effect of different soil tillage in the soybean crop (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) in a Oxisoil, being they conventional (disc plow + two soft harrowings, moldboard plow and two soft harrowings, heavy disc harrow + soft harrowing), 2 reduced (chiselplow + softharrowing, chiselplow only) and no tillage, resulting in 6 treatments with 4 repetitions. The water level in the ground did not have significant differences between the treatments. In the superficial layer (0-5 cm) the no tillage presented greater resistance to the penetration in relation to the treatments mondboard plough and two harrowings and chiselplow and harrow. The agronomical characteristics of the soybean crop are not influenced by the studied treatments.
