Abstract
O transporte de nutrientes até às raízes é essencialmente efetuado por fluxo de massa e difusão. À medida que os nutrientes presentes na solução móvel ou de interagregados vão-se exaurindo, eles se movimentam por difusão do interior para a superfície dos agregados. Com o objetivo de determinar a quantidade de Mg, Ca e K no efluente de colunas com agregados de um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico típico, em resposta ao tempo de difusão, realizou-se um experimento utilizando água destilada como eluente. Os tratamentos corresponderam a um arranjo fatorial 4 x 5, sendo quatro classes de agregados (2,0-1,0; 1,0-0,5; 0,5-0,25; e 0,25-0,105 mm) e cinco tempos de difusão (0, 1, 2, 4 e 6 dias). As colunas receberam um volume de água destilada igual a 10 vezes o seu volume de poros, recolhendo-se cinco frações de dois volumes de poros de efluente nos intervalos indicados para cada tempo de difusão. Os agregados menores liberaram mais Mg, Ca e K para a solução nos espaços interagregados que os maiores. A quantidade de Mg, Ca e K eluída aumentou com o tempo de difusão, a partir da segunda fração analisada.
Nutrient transport to roots is basically performed by mass flow and diffusion. As the nutrients in the mobile solution (inter-aggregate solution) are depleted, they move by diffusion from the interior to the aggregate surface. This study quantified Mg, Ca, and K in effluents from aggregates of a Brazilian Rodhic Haplustox, in relation to diffusion time, using distilled water as eluate. Treatments were established in a 4 x 5 factorial scheme: four aggregate classes (2.0-1.0, 1.0-0.5, 0.5-0.25, and 0.25-0.105 mm) and five diffusion times (0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 days). The columns that corresponded to zero day received an eluate volume equal to ten times the pore volume, collected in five effluent fractions, each one with two pore-volumes. In the remaining experimental units, elutions were accomplished with two pore-volumes at intervals indicated for each diffusion time. Smaller aggregates released more Mg, Ca, and K to the inter-aggregate solution than larger ones. Eluted cation quantities increased with diffusion time, as from the second analyzed fraction.
