Description
Summary:The potassium ion, present in great amount in the vinasse because it is a monovalent cation, has the characteristic of promoting the dispersion of clay particles, in the same way as the sodium, causing a reduction in the pore space of the soil and, in its turn, reducing its permeability. To evaluate this effect of reduction by application of vinasse to the soil, an experiment was conducted for three different soils, with the objective of evaluating the effect of the application of different doses of vinasse on hydraulic conductivity of saturated soil and verifying its possible chemical changes of these soils. For that, it was used PVC columns (in a scheme of constant head permeameter to obtain the values of hydraulic conductivity of saturated soil), filled with three soils - Dark Red Latosol (DRL), Purple Latosol (PL) and Eutrophic Red Nitossol (ERN) - , in which were applied four doses of vinasse (0, 150, 300 and 450m³ ha-1), distributed in a completely randomized design with a 3x4 factorial scheme with three replications. The results evidenced that only the Dark Red Latosol (DRL) showed a reduction in the values of hydraulic conductivity of saturated soil, and in front of the application of vinasse, up to 300m³ ha-1, it was observed an increase in the concentrations of potassium, calcium and cation exchange capacity (CEC) ions. O íon potássio, presente em grande quantidade na vinhaça, por se tratar de um cátion monovalente, tem a característica de promover a dispersão das partículas de argila, assim como o sódio, provocando redução do espaço poroso do solo e, por sua vez, reduzindo sua permeabilidade. Para avaliar este efeito de redução mediante a aplicação de vinhaça ao solo, realizou-se um experimento para três diferentes solos, com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da aplicação de diferentes doses de vinhaça na condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado e verificar suas possíveis alterações químicas, destes solos. Para tal, foram utilizadas colunas de PVC (em um esquema de permeâmetro de carga constante para a obtenção dos valores da condutividade hidráulica do solo saturado), preenchidas com três solos (Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro - LVE, Latossolo Roxo - LR e Nitossolo Vermelho Eutrófico - NVE), nas quais foram aplicadas quatro doses de vinhaça (0; 150; 300 e 450 m³ ha-1), distribuídas em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 3x4, com três repetições. Os resultados evidenciaram que apenas o Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro (LVE) apresentou
