Improving the quality of the production environment

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate different production environments, through diagnosis of the chemical, physical attributes and enzymatic activity of the soil, in addition to evaluating strategies to improve the quality of these environments and their impact on the productivity of commercial crops. Low productivity environments were characterized by lower dry matter production of cover crops with a reduction of up to 46.2%, greater resistance to soil penetration at a depth of 40-60 cm, lower levels of soil organic matter in the uppermost layer superficial and also in depth, combined with lower enzyme activity. It was possible to restore productivity in the low corn crop environment, by up to 15.34% in the vegetative treatment + organic conditioner + biological input and 5.11% for vegetative + biological input. There was a positive synergism as a residual effect for both environments in the off-season soybean crop in the vegetative treatment + organic conditioner + biological input, up to 39.53% in the low environment and 25% for the high environment. For wheat cultivation, it was possible to increase productivity in the low environment by up to 1.92% in the vegetative method, 9.09% vegetative + organic conditioner and 24.4% vegetative + biological input in relation to the high environment.
