Revista Científica Eletrônica de Agronomia, Garça, v. 22, n. 2, p. 1-13, 2012.1677-0293http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/15139The different cropping systems and land management change their physical attributes, reflected in its sustainability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the resistance of a Plintossolo Háplico (Entisols) penetration mechanics in four depths, under different land uses (cultivation predecessor, legumes and weeds) in an Agroforestry System. Penetrometrias were made and collected samples for evaluation of water content in the soil in an area of 3,000 m2. In use systems in which there legume showed a lower value of penetration resistance. The cultivation system influenced values soil resistance to mechanical penetration, as well as the water content of the soil.porAcesso AbertoCompactaçãoIndicador de qualidade física do soloAgroflorestaCobertura vegetalSoil compactionPlant under coverAn indicator of soil physical qualityAgroforestryArtigo
