Colour-thresholding digital imaging methods are generally accurate for measuring the
percentage of foliar area affected by disease or pests (severity), but they perform poorly …

Biochar may increase soil fertility and crop yield by enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC),
nutrient availability and water retention. However, the mechanisms through which biochar …

Integrated farming systems (IS) are one of the main strategies of the Brazilian government to
reduce or compensate for carbon emissions from agriculture with simultaneous …

The natural chemical qualities of the subsoil of Oxisols often restrict root growth, water use
efficiency, and crop yield. The practice of continuous no‐till farming creates a fertile topsoil …

RESUMO A sustentabilidade dos sistemas conservacionistas de produção agrícola está
intimamente ligada ao retorno dos nutrientes ao solo, por meio da decomposição dos …

The conversion of native vegetation (NV) to agricultural systems, especially with intensive
tillage and low carbon (C) input, decreases soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. However the …

Background and aims To study the impact of land use change (LUC) from native vegetation
and pasture to sugarcane cultivation as well as to evaluate the effect of different …

Sandy soils are widely distributed in Brazil and occur in most states. However, they have
serious limitations for agricultural use due to low natural fertility, low water retention capacity …

Land management practices that overlook soil limitations and potential have led to varying
degrees of degradation. This study evaluates the carbon content in chemical and oxidisable …

No Brasil, mais de 84% das emissões de N2O e 74% de CH4 são resultantes da
agropecuária, e aproximadamente 40% do CO2 emitido tem origem do uso e mudança do …
