Calagem e adubação boratada na produção de feijoeiro

Abstract

The objective was to study the application of lime and boron on the chemical in an Oxisol in the nutritional status and yield. The doses of limestone were increasing, considering the saturation of bases 70%, corresponding doses: zero, 0.6; 1.2 (saturation of bases = 70%), 1.8 and 2.4 t ha-1, respectively. The lime used had relative power of total neutralization (PRNT) = 131% (neutralization power, PN = 137% and reactivity, RE = 95%). The boron doses studied were equal to 0 (zero), 0.6; 1.2; 1.8, and 2.4 mg dm-3 of B, with reference to the definition of the same 1.2 mg dm-3 B (or 1.2 kg ha-1 B). It was used as a source boric acid (H3BO3) (17% B). At the time of flowering was assessed the nutritional status of plants and, at 90 days were evaluated soil fertility and yield. There was improvement in soil pH of the attributes, SB, V and the concentration of Ca and Mg, and B with the use of boron fertilization. The interaction of lime with boron fertilization increased the concentration of Ca, Mg and B in plants. The data presented demonstrate that the common bean was responsive to liming and boron fertilization, reaching good production rates with the use of 1.8 kg ha-1 of B with increasing doses of lime.
