Ácido húmico melhora o transporte de fósforo no solo e a absorção pelo milho
Resumo
Abstract
Most of the phosphorus (P) applied to acidic, low-fertility tropical soils with high levels of iron and aluminum oxide ends up adsorbed to soil colloids and is not available to crops. Diffusion of P from fertilizers has been found to be facilitated by coating with humic substances and soil moisture. However, there is still controversy about the effect of humic substances on the forms and diffusion of P in soil, and there is a gap in knowledge of how fertilizer coatings interact with soil water. We studied the diffusion and availability of P from a conventional plain superphosphate and a humic acid-coated superphosphate in Petry plates, as affected by soil moisture and the effect of distance from fertilizer to roots, using a root mat methodology. Coating simple superphosphate with leonardite humic substances (0.5%) and increasing water moisture resulted in better soil P diffusion and plant P uptake. Corn dry matter increased with humic acid-coated phosphate from 3% to 26%, depending on the distance from the fertilizer to the roots. Therefore, there is evidence of lower P adsorption to soil colloids. Coated fertilizer increased labile P by 76% around the fertilizer granule, while higher levels of less labile P were observed with the use of conventional single superphosphate. All of this resulted in the facilitated transport of P from the soil to the roots, which is important especially in double cropping systems, where the second crop is generally exposed to temporary drought.
