Implicações técnicas e ambientais em diferentes sistemas de manejo

Abstract

Crop-Livestock integration is an alternative system of agricultural use, but little is known about the effects of this system on sandy soils. Thus, the objective of the present work was to study the technical and environmental implications of using Crop-Livestock Integration systems in sandy soils. To this end, the work was divided into two chapters, with chapter 1 focused on analyzing whether collection methods interfere with the results of soil attributes. In chapter 2, a more detailed analysis of soil attributes was carried out for each parameter. As a result, we observed that in general the sampling system does not interfere with the results, but these may vary when compared in relation to land use. It can also be concluded that the Crop-Livestock Integration system does not have an exceptional improvement in soil quality, but it helps to improve carbon stock levels and possibly the productivity of these areas. Thus, we conclude that the adoption of the Crop-Livestock system is a good alternative for sandy soils in Western São Paulo.
