ATRIBUTOS FÍSICOS Y QUÍMICOS EN SUELOS CON CULTIVOS INTERCALADOS CON CAFÉ

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Studies that help to evaluate agroecosystems are of great importance for world agricultural production in order achieve a more sustainable agriculture. <strong>Objective:</strong> To the physical and chemical attributes soil with crops intercropped coffee. <strong>Methodology:</strong> The research was carried out on property family farmer located municipality Alegre, state Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. For this, three farming systems were defined: monoculture coffee, coffee plantain, plantain hearts palm. Five randomly selected experimental units established each system. evaluated: texture mechanical resistance soil; attributes: pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, Al+H, SB, CIC-e, CIC-T, %SB, %SA MO. <strong>Results:</strong> Soil similar cultivation systems, however, had higher percentage sand lower clay. between culture two depths evaluated. Regarding attributes, presented values Ca CICe value organic matter content. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> These results show affected by intercropping so it is necessary modify agronomic management these conditions.<strong></strong></p>
