Soil chemical attributes under combinations of organic fertilizing and water salinity

ABSTRACT The use of brackish water causes chemical changes in cultivated soils. It is therefore necessary to apply strategies that can minimize its negative impacts, such as the organic fertilizers. This study aimed evaluate field attributes a Red Yellow Argisol under irrigation with saline and fertilizing an area corn. design was randomized blocks, split-plot scheme, plots comprising salinity levels for (0.8 3.0 dS m-1) subplots combinations fertilizers (cattle manure + poultry biofertilizer goat biofertilizer; cattle control), four replications. m-1 has effect on soil attributes, particularly reducing pH increasing sodium, exchangeable sodium percentage electrical conductivity saturation extract. combination mitigates salt stress by favouring accumulation nitrogen matter, while favours potassium soil. increases contents phosphorus when using 0.8 irrigation.
