STRUCTURAL STABILITY OF THE SOIL WHEN USING DIFFERENT ORGANIC COMPONENTS EVALUATED IN THE VEGETATION HOUSE
Keywords:
Cocoa, crop, Organic amendments, Structural stability, Weighted average diameter.Abstract
The physical, chemical behavior and soil organic matter (SOM) were evaluated with different sources of organic fertilizers and how they influence the structural stability of the soil used for cocoa cultivation. The study was carried out in a greenhouse covered with saran mesh in the years 2021 and 2022. Five treatments and four repetitions were evaluated in a completely randomized design. T1: Witness; T2: Composted chicken manure; T3: Field residues; T4: Ashes; T5: Compost. 20 pots were used with 15 kg of dry, undisturbed soil and a dose of 15 Mg.ha-1 of each amendment. Physicochemical parameters and SOM were evaluated at depths of 0 to 5 cm and 5 to 10 cm. Soil pH increased its levels in all treatments compared to the control, with ash obtaining better results with levels of 6.5 and 6.2 at both depths. SOM and Nitrogen maintained a slight increase in their applied treatments, with compost being better with a content of 6.7% and 0.30% respectively. Phosphorus in the soil presented better bioavailability with the application of ashes, with a concentration above 29 mg.kg-1. For the weighted average diameter (WMD), the crop residue and the composted chicken manure reached the highest values with 0.60 mm. It is concluded that composted chicken manure, compost and crop residue, were able to adhere mostly to soil particles or structural aggregates, while providing improved nutritional bioavailability that could be utilized by plants.
