Phosphorus fractions in soil cultivated with vineyards after 62 years of poultry litter addition

Frações de fósforo em solo cultivado com vinhedos após 62 anos de adição de cama-de-aves

Abstract:

The objective of this work was to evaluate changes in phosphorus fractions in a Humic Cambisol cultivated with vineyards, after 62 years of additional fertilization with poultry litter. Soil samples were collected from two vineyards (V1 and V2) and a forested area adjacent to them. A total of 1,365 and 910 kg ha-1 P were applied to V1 and V2, respectively, throughout the past 62 years. Samples were collected at 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40-cm soil depths for the analysis of soil physicochemical properties. The addition of poultry litter to the soil of the vineyards increased the contents of inorganic P (Pi) in all fractions, except in the residual fraction (residual-P), mainly at the 0-10-cm soil depth, in comparison with the forested area. The addition of poultry litter as fertilizer does not affect the organic P (Po) stock in the Humic Cambisol, it only increases the Pi contents of the soil.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as modificações de frações de fósforo em um Cambissolo Húmico cultivado com vinhedos, após 62 anos de fertilização adicional com cama-de-aves. Amostras de solo foram coletadas de dois vinhedos (V1 e V2) e de uma área de floresta (F) adjacente a eles. Foram aplicados 1.362 e 910 kg ha-1 de P ao V1 e ao V2, respectivamente, durante os últimos 62 anos de cultivo. Amostras de solo foram coletadas a 0-10, 10-20, 20-30 e 30-40 cm de profundidade, para análises das propriedades físico-químicas do solo. A adição de cama-de-aves ao solo dos vinhedos aumentou os teores de P inorgânico (Pi) em todas as frações, exceto na fração residual, principalmente à profundidade de 0-10 cm, em comparação à área de floresta. A adição de cama-de-aves como fertilizante não afeta os estoques de P orgânico (Po) do Cambissolo Húmico, apenas aumenta os teores de Pi do solo.

Introduction

In the subtropical region of Brazil, many vineyard management decisions are based on empirical knowledge, without technical standards or soil testing. As a consequence, vineyard soils are often poor in nutrients. When agricultural liming and fertilization requirements are diagnosed, mainly by soil analyses, lime and other nutrients including phosphorus (P) are often prescribed (Silva et al., 2016SILVA, L.S.; GATIBONI, L.C.; ANGHINONI, I.; SOUZA, R.O. (Ed.). Manual de calagem e adubação para os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e de Santa Catarina. 11.ed. [Xanxerê]: Comissão de Química e Fertilidade do Solo - RS/SC, 2016. 376p.).

Phosphorus is highly reactive in the soil - both in alkaline soils (Eriksson et al., 2015ERIKSSON, A.K.; GUSTAFSSON, J.P.; HESTERBERG, D. Phosphorus speciation of clay fractions from long-term fertility experiments in Sweden. Geoderma, v.241-242, p.68-74, 2015. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2014.10.023.

) and weathered acid soils (Boitt et al., 2018BOITT, G.; SCHMITT, D.E.; GATIBONI, L.C.; WAKELIN, S.A.; BLACK, A.; SACOMORI, W.; CASSOL, P.C.; CONDRON, L.M.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2018....
). When the applications of organic fertilizers are carried out above the exportation by the plants, P accumulation takes place in several fractions (Boitt et al., 2018BOITT, G.; SCHMITT, D.E.; GATIBONI, L.C.; WAKELIN, S.A.; BLACK, A.; SACOMORI, W.; CASSOL, P.C.; CONDRON, L.M.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2018....
). Phosphorus accumulations are usually more pronounced in inorganic fractions (He et al., 2008HE, Z.; HONEYCUTT, C.W.; CADE-MENUN, B.J.; SENWO, Z.N.; TAZISONG, I.A. Phosphorus in poultry litter and soil: Enzymatic and nuclear magnetic resonance characterization. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v.72, p.1425-1433, 2008.

) due to part of the organic fertilizer showing Pi (Turner & Leytem, 2004TURNER, B.L.; LEYTEM, A.B. Phosphorus compounds in sequential extracts of animal manures: chemical speciation and a novel fractionation procedure. Environmental Science & Technology, v.38, p.6101-6108, 2004. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1021/es0493042.
https://doi.org/10.1021/es0493042...
), and also due to the mineralization of part of organic P of the soil (Steffens et al., 2010STEFFENS, D.; LEPPIN, T.; LUSCHIN-EBENGREUTH, N.; YANG, Z.M.; SCHUBERT, S. Organic soil phosphorus considerably contributes to plant nutrition but is neglected by routine soil testing methods. Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, v.173, p.765-771, 2010. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/jpln.201000079.
https://doi.org/10.1002/jpln.201000079...
).

Current technical recommendation for fertilization before grapevine planting is to apply the fertilizers and incorporate them into the soil to approximately 20 cm depth (Hanlon et al., 2005HANLON, E.A.; HOCHMUTH, G.J.; OBREZA, T.A.; CHAPLIN, M.H. Phosphorus nutrition of vegetable crops and fruits. In: SIMS, J.T.; SHARPLEY, A.N. (Ed.). Phosphorus: agriculture and the environment. Madison: American Society of Agronomy, 2005. p.521-540. (Agronomy, 46).). For side dressing, the fertilizers are only spread on top of the soil, without manual incorporation (Skinner et al. 1988SKINNER, P.W.; COOX, J.A.; MATTHEWS, M.A. Responses of grapevine cvs Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay to phosphorus fertilizer applications under phosphorus-limited soil conditions. Vitis, v.27, p.95-109, 1988.). However, in older vineyards, phosphate fertilizers were often added without technical criteria, and at doses exceeding the requirements for the grapevine (Vitis sp.) crop; these issues were especially common for side dressing (Schmitt et al., 2013bSCHMITT, D.E.; COMIN, J.J.; GATIBONI, L.C.; TIECHER, T.; LORENSINI, F.; MELO, G.W.B. de; GIROTTO, E.; GUARDINI, R.; HEINZEN, J.; BRUNETTO, G. Phosphorus fractions in sandy soils of vineyards in southern Brazil. Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, v.37, p.472-481, 2013b. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-06832013000200018.
https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-0683201300...
).

Since P is poorly absorbed by grapevine, only a small quantity of P is transported to grape bunches (Tecchio et al., 2011TECCHIO, M.A.; TEIXEIRA, L.A.J.; TERRA, M.M.; MOURA, M.F.; PAIOLI-PIRES, E.J. Extração de nutrientes pela videira “niagara rosada” enxertada em diferentes porta-enxertos. Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, v.33, p.736-742, 2011. Número especial. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-29452011000500103.
https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-2945201100...
), which can lead to an accumulation of P fractions in the soil layers (Wang et al., 2015WANG, B.; LI, J.; REN, Y.; XIN, J.; HAO, X.; MA, Y.; MA, X. Validation of a soil phosphorus accumulation model in the wheat-maize rotation production areas of China. Field Crops Research, v.178, p.42-48, 2015. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.2015.03.007.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fcr.2015.03.00...
), and increase the risk of environmental losses of the more labile P fractions (Gatiboni et al., 2015GATIBONI, L.C.; SMYTH, T.J.; SCHMITT, D.E.; CASSOL, P.C.; OLIVEIRA, C.M.B. de. Soil phosphorus thresholds in evaluating risk of environmental transfer to surface waters in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, v. 39, p.1225-1234, 2015. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/01000683rbcs20140461.
https://doi.org/10.1590/01000683rbcs2014...
) by surface runoff (Sharpley et al., 1996SHARPLEY, A.; DANIEL, T.C.; SIMS, J.T.; POTE, D.H. Determining environmentally sound soil phosphorus levels. Journal of Soil Water and Conservation, v.51, p.160-166, 1996.); surface runoff is a risk for vineyard on steeper slopes. Therefore, frequent monitoring of soil P levels is required.

Simple P extraction methods such as Olsen, Bray, anion-exchange resin, Mehlich-1, and Mehlich-3 only extract part of the labile P from the soil, masking the occluded P and mineral-bound P, which hampers the understanding of P soil dynamics (Yang & Post, 2011YANG, X.; POST, W.M. Phosphorus transformations as a function of pedogenesis: a synthesis of soil phosphorus data using Hedley fractionation method. Biogeosciences, v.8, p.2907-2916, 2011. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-8-2907-2011.
https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-8-2907-2011...
). However, in the chemical P fractionation method proposed by Hedley et al. (1982)HEDLEY, M.J.; STEWART, J.W.B.; CHAUHAN, B.S. Changes in inorganic and organic soil phosphorus fractions induced by cultivation practices and by laboratory incubations. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v.46, p.970-976, 1982. DOI: https://doi.org/10.2136/sssaj1982.03615995004600050017x.
https://doi.org/10.2136/sssaj1982.036159...
, P is extracted from the soil in stages with different extractors, which allows of a more accurate quantification of P.

There is a lack of research addressing the accumulation and distribution of P fractions in clayey vineyard soils on steep slopes, with high-P adsorption capacity and a long history of organic residue application. Under these conditions, Pi and Po contents of the moderately labile P fractions are expected to be greater in vineyards with lesser slopes, especially in the near-surface soil. For this reason, successive applications of poultry litter to the vineyard soil surface are supposed to cause P accumulation in different P pools, mainly the most labile forms and in the near-surface soil.

The objective of this work was to evaluate changes in P fractions in a Humic Cambisol cultivated with vineyards, after 62 years of the addition of poultry litter as fertilizer.

Materials and Methods

The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Videira, in the midwestern of Santa Catarina state, Southern Brazil, in two vineyard (V1 and V2) areas settled in 1950, and in a forested area (F) located next to the vineyards, as a reference. The vineyards were 62 years old, had approximately 2 ha each, and were located at as follows: V1, 26°57'14"S and 51°12'39"W; V2, 26°57'14"S and 51°12'29"W; and F, 26°57'09"S and 51°12'25"W. The V1 and V2 areas had a mean slope of 16 and 26%, respectively. The climate of the region is humid mesothermic with mild summers, according to the Köppen-Geiger’s classification (Cfb). The mean annual temperature is 16.5ºC, and the mean annual rainfall is 1,400 mm. Soil type of both vineyards, according to Santos et al. (2013)SANTOS, H.G. dos; JACOMINE, P.K.T.; ANJOS, L.H.C. dos; OLIVEIRA, V.A. de; LUMBRERAS, J.F.; COELHO, M.R.; ALMEIDA, J.A. de; CUNHA, T.J.F.; OLIVEIRA, J.B. de. Sistema brasileiro de classificação de solos. 3.ed. rev. e ampl. Brasília: Embrapa, 2013. 353p., is Cambissolo Húmico, i.e. Humic Cambisol (FAO, 1998FAO. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. World reference base of soil resources. Rome: FAO, 1998. (World Soil Resources Reports 84).), with a predominance of kaolinite in the clay fraction.

Vitis labrusca 'Isabel' was grown on ungrafted rootstock in both vineyards, in pergola vine training systems with plants spaced 2.0 m apart, and rows spaced 3.5 m apart (1,525 plants ha-1). V1 and V2 soils, were subjected to 6 and 4 Mg ha-1 poultry litter addition once every 5 year, respectively. Poultry litter was applied at 78 and 52 Mg ha-1 to the soil surface both in and between rows, without incorporation to the soil, in V1 and V2, respectively. Poultry litter was obtained from raising 6-8 batches of birds, and each application contained 17.5 g kg-1 P on average (Silva et al., 2016SILVA, L.S.; GATIBONI, L.C.; ANGHINONI, I.; SOUZA, R.O. (Ed.). Manual de calagem e adubação para os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e de Santa Catarina. 11.ed. [Xanxerê]: Comissão de Química e Fertilidade do Solo - RS/SC, 2016. 376p.). Thus, over the course of 62 years of grapevine cultivation, total P amounts at 1,365 and 910 kg ha-1 P were added to V1 and V2, respectively. No other nutrient source was used in the management of the vineyards except for leaf applications of the Bordeaux mixture for disease control, which added Ca, S, and Cu to the system.

In March 2012, five years after the last application of poultry manure, six trenches (60 x 60 cm) were randomly dug in the F, V1 and V2 areas. Soil samples were collected at 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40 cm depth, in six replicates. The soil was air-dried and organic coarse material were removed manually. The soil was then ground in an agate mortar and pestle before being stored for analysis.

Soil samples from each depth were analysed by the pipette method for distribution of particle size soil constituents (Claessen, 1997CLAESSEN, M.E.C. (Org.). Manual de métodos de análise de solo. 2.ed. rev. e atual. Rio de Janeiro: EmbrapCNPS, 1997. 212p.). Organic matter (OM) content was determined by the Walkley-Black method (Claessen, 1997CLAESSEN, M.E.C. (Org.). Manual de métodos de análise de solo. 2.ed. rev. e atual. Rio de Janeiro: EmbrapCNPS, 1997. 212p.), and soil pH was measured using a 1:1 v/v soil:water suspension test, after 30 min of equilibration time. Available P and exchangeable K were extracted from the soil samples with the Mehlich-1 solution (0.05 mol L-1 HCl + 0.0125 mol L-1 H2SO4), and characterized by spectrophotometry and flame photometry, respectively (Tedesco et al., 1995TEDESCO, M.J.; GIANELLO, C.; BISSANI, C.A.; BOHNEN, H.; VOLKWEISS, S.J. Análise de solo, plantas e outros materiais. 2.ed. rev. e ampl. Porto Alegre: UFRGS, 1995. (UFRGS. Boletim técnico, 5).).

The exchangeable Ca, Mg, and Al were extracted from the soil samples with 1 mol L-1 KCl solution; Ca and Mg were characterized by atomic absorption spectrometry, and Al was characterized by titration with 0.0125 mol L-1 NaOH (Tedesco et al., 1995TEDESCO, M.J.; GIANELLO, C.; BISSANI, C.A.; BOHNEN, H.; VOLKWEISS, S.J. Análise de solo, plantas e outros materiais. 2.ed. rev. e ampl. Porto Alegre: UFRGS, 1995. (UFRGS. Boletim técnico, 5).). The effective cation exchange capacity (CECe) was calculated by Al + Ca + Mg + K. The cation exchange capacity at pH 7.0 (CECpH7.0) was calculated as the sum of exchangeable bases (Ca + Mg + K) plus the estimated H + Al, using an SMP buffer solution (Silva et al., 2016SILVA, L.S.; GATIBONI, L.C.; ANGHINONI, I.; SOUZA, R.O. (Ed.). Manual de calagem e adubação para os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e de Santa Catarina. 11.ed. [Xanxerê]: Comissão de Química e Fertilidade do Solo - RS/SC, 2016. 376p.). Base saturation (V) was calculated as the sum of Ca + Mg + K divided by CECe and expressed as a percentage. The remaining soil was subjected to chemical fractionation of P, according to the methodology of Hedley et al. (1982)HEDLEY, M.J.; STEWART, J.W.B.; CHAUHAN, B.S. Changes in inorganic and organic soil phosphorus fractions induced by cultivation practices and by laboratory incubations. Soil Science Society of America Journal, v.46, p.970-976, 1982.

, with modifications proposed by Condron & Goh (1989)CONDRON, L.M.; GOH, K.M. Effects of long-term phosphatic fertilizer applications on amounts and forms of phosphorus in soils under irrigated pasture in New Zealand. European Journal of Soil Science, v.40, p.383-395, 1989.

.

Soil samples of 0.5 g were subjected to sequential extraction with anion-exchange resin (AER-Pi) and then 0.5 mol L-1 sodium bicarbonate, which extracted inorganic and organic labile P (NaHCO3-Pi and NaHCO3-Po, respectively). Then, the samples were treated with 0.1 mol L-1 sodium hydroxide (to extract NaOH I-Pi and NaOH I-Po), 1 mol L-1 hydrochloric acid (to extract HCl-Pi), and 0.5 mol L-1 sodium hydroxide (to extract NaOH II-Pi and NaOH II-Po). Phosphorus extracted by 0.1 and 0.5 mol L-1 represents inorganic P linked to oxides and silicate clays with intermediate binding energy and the organic P of moderately labile fractions (Gatiboni et al., 2013GATIBONI, L.C.; BRUNETTO, G.; RHEINHEIMER, D. dos S.; KAMINSKI, J. Fracionamento químico das formas de fósforo do solo: usos e limitações. In: ARAÚJO, A.P.; ALVES, B.J.R. (Ed.). Tópicos em ciência do solo. Viçosa: Sociedade Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2013. v.8, p.141-187.). HCl-Pi extracts inorganic P contained in the calcium phosphates and strongly adsorbed phosphates. The content of HCl-Pi was evaluated only in the inorganic fraction because the amount of Po extracted by HCl in weathered soils is usually small. After all extractions had been performed, the remaining soil was oven-dried at 45°C, and subjected to acid digestion with concentrated H2SO4 + H2O2 + MgCl2 to measure the residual P.

Pi extracts resulting from the alkaline extractants (NaHCO3-Pi, NaOH I-Pi, and NaOH II-Pi) were determined by the method proposed by Dick & Tabatabai (1977)DICK, W.A.; TABATABAI, M.A. Determination of orthophosphate in aqueous solutions containing labile organic and inorganic phosphorus compounds. Journal of Environment Quality, v.6, p.82-85, 1977. DOI: https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq1977.00472425000600010018x.
https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq1977.00472425...
. In these alkaline extracts, total P was determined by digestion in an autoclave with ammonium persulfate and sulfuric acid ((NH4)2S2O8 + H2SO4), and Po was calculated as the difference between total P and Pi in the extract. Phosphorus in the acid extracts was determined according to Murphy & Riley (1962)MURPHY, J.; RILEY, J.P. A modified single solution method for the determination of phosphate in natural waters. Analytica Chimica Acta, v.27, p.31-36, 1962. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-2670(00)88444-5.
https://doi.org/10.1016/S0003-2670(00)88...
.

For the statistical analysis, the P pool was treated as the dependent variable, and the soil layer, the independent one. Phosphorus pools of soil samples from the F and vineyard areas were subjected to analysis of variance, and the significant effects were compared by the Tukey’s test, at 5% probability, using the Sisvar 5.3 software (Ferreira, 2011FERREIRA, D.F. Sisvar: a computer statistical analysis system. Ciência e Agrotecnologia, v.35, p.1039-1042, 2011. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-70542011000600001.
https://doi.org/10.1590/S1413-7054201100...
).

Results and Discussion

The contents of labile P pools (AER-Pi, NaHCO3-Pi, and NaHCO3-Po), and moderately labile P pools (NaOH I-Pi, NaOH I-Po, NaOH II-Pi, NaOH II-Po) increased during the grapevine cultivation, mainly at 0-10 cm soil depths (Figures 1 and 2). In comparison to the forested area, the greatest increases of labile and moderately labile P contents in V1 and V2 were observed in the Pi fractions at 0-10 cm soil depths. In the forested area, the labile P contents were similar throughout the soil profile.

Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean.

The highest levels of AER-Pi and NaHCO3-Pi, as well as of NaOH I-Pi and NaOH II-Pi, at 0-10 cm soil depths of V1 and V2 can be attributed to the poultry litter added to the soil over the 62 years of cultivation - 1,365 and 910 kg ha-1 P, respectively. In addition, P accumulation in the labile and moderately labile fractions may be more pronounced in vineyards with longstanding cultivation, which can be atributed to pruning residues and senescent leaves. Furthermore, weeds or cover crops can take P from deeper soil layers and store it in the shoot tissues, which is later deposited on the soil surface (Brunetto et al., 2011BRUNETTO, G.; VENTURA, M.; SCANDELLARI, F.; CERETTA, C.A.; KAMINSKI, J.; MELO, G.W. de; TAGLIAVINI, M.

). These plant residues and organic fertilizers are mineralized by soil microorganisms, increasing the Pi content (Damon et al., 2014DAMON, P.M.; BOWDEN, B.; ROSE, T.; RENGEL, Z.

), especially in the topsoil (Rubaek et al., 2013RUBAEK, G.H.; KRISTENSEN, K.; OLESEN, S.E.; ØSTERGAARD, H.S.; HECKRATH, G. Phosphorus accumulation and spatial distribution in agricultural soils in Denmark. Geoderma, v.209-210, p.241-250, 2013. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2013.06.022.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2013....
). High-P levels in the near-surface soil of vineyards are further elevated due to small quantities of P transported to grape bunches (Tecchio et al., 2011TECCHIO, M.A.; TEIXEIRA, L.A.J.; TERRA, M.M.; MOURA, M.F.; PAIOLI-PIRES, E.J.

https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-2945201100...
). In general, approximately 4 kg ha-1 P per year are transported to grape bunches, considering an average annual yield of 25 Mg ha-1 grapes per year (Tecchio et al., 2011TECCHIO, M.A.; TEIXEIRA, L.A.J.; TERRA, M.M.; MOURA, M.F.; PAIOLI-PIRES, E.J.

This low value of P removed from the vineyards reflects the difficulty of establishing a critical P level for fruit species (Brunetto et al., 2015BRUNETTO, G.; MELO, G.W.B. de; TOSELLI, M.; QUARTIERI, M.; TAGLIAVINI, M. The role of mineral nutrition on yields and fruit quality in grapevine, pear and apple. Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, v.37, p.1089-1104, 2015. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/0100-2945-103/15.
https://doi.org/10.1590/0100-2945-103/15...
), as mineralized Po may be more than sufficient to supply the plant demand (Damon et al., 2014DAMON, P.M.; BOWDEN, B.; ROSE, T.; RENGEL, Z. Crop residue contributions to phosphorus pools in agricultural soils: a review. Soil Biology & Biochemistry, v.74, p.127-137, 2014. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2014.03.003.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2014.0...
), and total P supply can easily exceed the crop requirement.

In vineyard soil at 0-10 cm depths, high-P contents, both in the labile and the moderately labile fractions extracted by Mehlich-1 (Table 1) exceed the critical P level of 18 mg kg -1 for the clay class between 21 and 40% (Silva et al., 2016SILVA, L.S.; GATIBONI, L.C.; ANGHINONI, I.; SOUZA, R.O. (Ed.). Manual de calagem e adubação para os estados do Rio Grande do Sul e de Santa Catarina. 11.ed. [Xanxerê]: Comissão de Química e Fertilidade do Solo - RS/SC, 2016. 376p.).

The increase of NaOH I-Pi and NaOH II-Pi (Figure 2) is an indication that the P applications exceeded the uptake capacity of the grapevines and any intercropped cover species, resulting in P accumulation in all fractions (Schmitt et al., 2013aSCHMITT, D.E.; COMIN, J.J.; CERETTA, C.A.; GATIBONI, L.C.; TIECHER, T.; LORENSINI, F.; HEINZEN, J.; AMBROSINI, V.G.; MORAES, M.P. de; BRUNETTO, G.

https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-0683201300...
). However, the distribution of accumulated P varies with soil type. For instance, in clayey soils, P is high in the fractions associated with Fe and Al oxyhydroxides extracted by sodium hydroxide (Gama-Rodrigues et al., 2014GAMA-RODRIGUES, A.C.; SALES, M.V.S.; SILVA, P.S.D.; COMERFORD, N.B.; CROPPER, W.P.; GAMA-RODRIGUES, E.F.

https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-013-9946-...
), while in sandy soils, labile fractions of P are predominant (Schmitt et al., 2013aSCHMITT, D.E.; COMIN, J.J.; CERETTA, C.A.; GATIBONI, L.C.; TIECHER, T.; LORENSINI, F.; HEINZEN, J.; AMBROSINI, V.G.; MORAES, M.P. de; BRUNETTO, G.

https://doi.org/10.1590/S0100-0683201300...
).

At all study sites, contents of P in the HCl-Pi pool were low than in other P pools, as determined from the Hedley’s procedure. The HCl-Pi pool is related to Ca-P forms which are expected to be very low in weathered soils (Tiecher et al., 2018TIECHER, T.; GOMES, M.V.; AMBROSINI, V.G.; AMORIM, M.B.; BAYER, C. Assessing linkage between soil phosphorus forms in contrasting tillage systems by path analysis. Soil & Tillage Research, v.175, p.276-280, 2018. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.still.2017.09.015.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.still.2017.09....
), such as those in the present study. The HCl-Pi contents at 0-10 cm soil depths were 207 and 52% higher in the V1 and V2 areas than in the forested area, respectively (Figure 2). However, the HCl-Pi fraction in the soils decreased with depth. Higher-HCl-Pi contents at 0-10 cm soil depth of both vineyards were related to the P application rate throughout cultivation, and to higher-pH and Ca levels (Table 1), which increased the Pi fraction (Borda et al., 2014BORDA, T.; CELI, L.; BÜNEMANN, E.K.; OBERSON, A.; FROSSARD, E.; BARBERIS, E. Fertilization strategies affect phosphorus forms and release from soils and suspended solids. Journal of Environmental Quality, v.43, p.1024-1031, 2014. DOI: https://doi.org/ 10.2134/jeq2013.11.0436.
https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2013.11.0436...
). Conversely, the residual-P content (Figure 2), which was the greatest P fraction in the soils, was not influenced by either the grapevine cultivation, poultry litter applications, or the vineyard slopes. Moreover, compared to the forest site, residual P content in both vineyards increased in deeper soil layers, in contrast to the other fractions, which decreased.

The sum of all P fractions measured at 0-10 cm soil depths of V1, V2, and forested area were approximately 1,200, 1,080, and 790 mg kg-1 P, respectively. At 10-20 cm soil depth, in V1, V2, and forested area measured P amounts were 780, 650, and 730 mg kg-1 P, respectively; the difference in total P of this layer and at 0-10 cm soil depths indicates a P accumulation at the surface layer.

Additionally, in comparison to the Pi fractions in the forest soil, those in the vineyards changed throughout cultivation (Figure 3); however, Po remained stable, despite the organic fertilizer applications. This indicates that the poultry litter and other plant residues were mineralized and transformed into Pi (Borda et al., 2014BORDA, T.; CELI, L.; BÜNEMANN, E.K.; OBERSON, A.; FROSSARD, E.; BARBERIS, E. Fertilization strategies affect phosphorus forms and release from soils and suspended solids. Journal of Environmental Quality, v.43, p.1024-1031, 2014. DOI: https://doi.org/ 10.2134/jeq2013.11.0436.
https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2013.11.0436...
). This study indicates that the entire Po - added as poultry litter and field residues - was transformed into Pi. In comparison to the Pi amount in the forest soil, Pi contents in the topsoil (0-10 cm depths) increased by approximately 1.6 and 1.5 times in the vineyards V1 and V2, respectively. However, no differences were observed in the Po fractions between the vineyard and forest soils.

Figure 3.

Conclusions

  1. The addition of poultry litter as fertilizer does not affect the organic P (Po) stock in a Humic Cambisol; however, it increases the Pi contents in the soil.

  2. Inorganic P is the main form of P accumulation in a Humic Cambisol, even with the long-term use of organic fertilizer based on poultry litter.
