Forms of mechanization and soil management for the potato culture I - characteristics of production

The aim of the research was to study the effects of management with different forms of tillage, stubble and types of infestation of soil with Trichoderma harzianum on the characteristics of components of the canopy of the potato crop, production and characteristics of tubers produced. The experiment was structured in a randomized design in split plots in a factorial 4 x 5 x 2 with four replications. It was evaluated, in plots, the following forms of tillage: tillage base (and chisel plowing) - P1, base tillage more harrowing - P2, rotary hoe most basic preparation and P3 base most harrowing and rotary hoe - P4. In the subsections it was used the stubble of oats, corn, wheat, beans and a control without stubble. The sub subplot constitutes of no infestation or infestation of T. harzianum in soil. It was concluded that less tillage causes greater crop yield, and that the application of stubble positive effect for increasing productivity, especially corn and wheat. The effect of T. harzianum to the potato yield was not significant, demonstrating the need for further studies.
