Teores de micronutrientes nas folhas de milho fertilizadas com lodo de curtume

Resumo

This investigation aimed to study the accumulation of micronutrients in the leaves of corn plants fertilized with tanning mud. Therefor an experiment in pot culture was conducted in a greenhouse of the Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa-Arroz e Feijão) located at 16°27’ latitude S, 49°17’ longitude W Gr. And 823 m above sea level, in the county of Santo Antônio de Goiás, GO. The experimental design was completely randomized in four replications and the following treatments: Control, tanning mud at 113.1 ml pot -1 (36 m 3 ha -1 ) = Mud-36; tanning mud at 226.2 ml pot -1 (72 m 3 ha -1 ) = Mud-72; tanning mud at 452.4 ml pot -1 (144 m 3 ha -1 ) = Mud-144; tanning mud at 904.8 ml pot -1 (288 m 3 ha -1 ) = Mud-288; mineral fertilizer at 1.256 g pot -1 of NPK 04-30-16 plus Zn (400 kg ha -1 ) = Chemical; and Mud- 144 plus Chemical. The chemical soil analysis was accomplished in two layers, 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm. Further were analyzes the contents of copper, iron, manganese and zinc in the green matter. There was no significant difference in copper content among treatments. The treatment Chemical showed significantly higher content in iron than all others. Mud-72 was significantly superior to all other treatments in manganese content. The highest content of zinc was found in treatment Mud- 144 plus Chemical, superior to all others. The yield of green matter tended to grow with increasing levels of tanning mud but the highest yield was found in treatment Mud-144 plus Chemical.
