Materia seca nodular y nitrógeno acumulado en el cultivo de soja en función de la disponibilidad de agua y azufre, y del sistema de labranza Nodular dry matter and accumulated nitrogen in soybean as a function of water and sulfur availability and tillage system
Abstract
La material seca nodular (MSN) y el nitrógeno acumulado (N-acum.) en el cultivo de soja fueron evaluados en función del sistema de labranza [siembra directa (SD) y labranza convencional (LC)] y la disponibilidad de azufre (S). Para ello, se realizaron en Balcarce durante la campaña 2002-03 dos experimentos, uno conducido bajo riego (Ri) y otro en secano (Se). La MSN determinada en R5 no fue afectada por la aplicación de S (P>0.10), sin embargo fue mayor bajo SD en Se (PNodular dry matter (NDM) and accumulated nitrogen (AN) in a soybean crop were evaluated as a function of tillage system [no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage(CT)] and sulfur (S) availability in two experiments carried out under irrigation (Ri) and rainfed conditions (Se). The experiment was carried out at Balcarce in the 2002-2003 growing season. The NDM, determined at R5 stage, was not affected by S fertilization (P>0.10) but was higher under NT in Se (P< 0.05). Under Ri NDM was higher under NT but this difference was not significant. The AN was not affected by S fertilization, and under rainfed conditions, it was significantly lower (P<0.05) under CT. The AN was positively related with NDM but the r² value was low (36%), suggesting that NDM was not the only factor regulating biological N2-fixation.
