Chemical and physical attributes of five Oxisols as predictors of shoot dry mass of white oats
ABSTRACT In no-tillage systems, oats are one of the species most used as a cover crop in the subtropical region of Brazil. This study aims is to determine a set of chemical and physical properties of five Oxisols after surface liming, and to determine whether these properties are related to the shoot dry mass production of white oat (Avena sativa L.) variety IPR Aphrodite, in order to establish a model to predict its yield.. For this purpose, a field experiment was conducted during 2015 and 2016 in Londrina County in the State of Paraná with samples of B horizon collected from five Oxisols with clay content ranging from 15-80 dag kg-1 arranged in microplots since 2004. Soil pH in CaCl2, calcium, magnesium, potassium, potential cation exchange capacity (CEC), base saturation, microporosity, total porosity, field capacity, permanent wilting point, clay and sand of the Oxisols were the parameters that most influenced the dry mass production of white oats. Oxisol extrinsic factors such as values pH and base saturation, as well as the calcium and magnesium contents, positively altered with surface liming, boosting the production of oat dry mass production.
