Cinza de casca de arroz e lodo de estação de tratamento de esgoto como fertilizantes

Abstract

The use of waste as fertilizer such as rice husk ash and sewage sludge treatment plant can contribute to the nutrient supply and reduce production costs. In this sense, this research aimed to evaluate the sewage sludge as the rice husk ash complement the supply of nutrients to corn and consequently in plant development. The experiment was carried out in September - November greenhouse. The design was adopted in randomized blocks in a factorial 6 x 6, with the first factor doses of rice husk ash: 0, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 g kg-1 and second doses of sewage sludge: 0; 2; 4; 8; 16; 32 g/kg, with three replications. The experimental units consisted of plastic pots with 12dm³ land Red-Yellow Pozolic soil (Ultisol). At the end of the experiment, seventy-seven days all aerial parts of the corn was harvested to quantify the dry matter yield and analyze macro (N, P, K, Ca and Mg) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn). Chemical characteristics analyzed in the soil were pH in water exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and Na) contents of C, N, P, Si, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu, as well as the ability to cation exchange (CTC) at pH 7. The results indicated that the rice husk ash acted to correct soil acidity and contributes to plant growth, proving efficient and phosphorus and potassium source. The use of sewage sludge contributes to the supply of nitrogen and phosphorus, providing increased production of dry matter of the plants. With sewage, sludge was increased Zn and Cu, while rice husk ash decreased availability. Although milk may in fact supply the N, lacking the CCA, it also supplies the P, so that at least well supplied ground K, there is no advantage to mix CCA to LETE to meet these macronutrients, namely that we are seeking to complete the CCA using LETE can be served, but to use the LETE CCA may be waived.
