The present work aimed to evaluate the agronomic impacts on the soil microbial community and its influence on the availability of nutrients from the sludge submitted about two forms of stabilization into maize soils. We assessed two forms of stabilization, is a chemical (LEQ) and a thermal (LET). The experiment was set up in a field experiment with the randomized block design, where doses of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 t ha-1 of sludge were applied in each form of stabilization. The maize was grown for three cycles, and at each of them, the plant's nutrition, dry matter production, grain yield, and soil chemical attributes at 0 to 20 cm depth layer were assessed. In the first crop of maize, soil microbiological parameters were investigated to determine the influence of microorganisms on the nutrients availability and the impact of sludge on the microbial community. Maize productivity increased due to the sludge doses increasing. Sludge doses had a residual effect (i.e., higher productivity than the control) until the third crop for 20 t ha-1. The highest doses of sludge (30 and 40 t ha-1) were more efficient than mineral fertilization, probably due to the content of micronutrients added by the sludge and the effects of organic matter on physical, chemical, and biological soil properties. The two forms of sludge application determine an increase in the enzymatic activity of β-glucosidase and dehydrogenase, while urease was reduced. LEQ addition promoted the highest abundance of bacteria and total fungi, while the functional gene abundance was favored by LET application. The application of treated sewage sludge under different forms of stabilization had a positive impact on the soil microbial community, inducing lower C-CO2 emissions due to the efficiency of existing microorganisms capacity in degrading the organic matter added in the soil, resulting in N release in the form of ammonium and nitrate besides P available to the soil.

Slag containing heavy metals can pollute soil and water and contaminate animals and humans. The bahian city of Santo Amaro had a lead smelter that, for years, polluted its territory with the smoke from the chimneys and the slag improperly deposited throughout the city. In order to understand the dynamics of stabilized metals in soils conditioned with biochar, the present work aimed to evaluate the effects of applying biochar to a soil polluted by multiple metals on the bioaccessibility, availability and absorption of As, Cd, Pb and Zn by plants and on the phytoattenuation process, aiming to indicate an economically and environmentally sustainable way for remediation of contaminated soils. For this, an experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with increasing doses of vermin (equivalent to 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 t ha-1) applied to polluted soil in the municipality of Santo Amaro-Ba and cultivated with corn. After cultivation, the levels of metals in the roots and shoots, nutrients in the shoots, the fractionation of metals in the soil and bioaccessibility tests were determined. In addition to the evaluation of physiological parameters (chlorophyll fluorescence, gas exchange and chlorophyll contents). The results showed that biochar can be indicated as a ameliorating for heavy metals in phytoattenuation or phytostabilization programs in the Santo Amaro contaminated soil, since it promoted a decrease in the mobility and availability of metals in the soil, with an improvement in the production of dry matter and photosynthetic attributes of corn plants.

Changes in topography and the shape of the relief can promote variations in the morphological, physical, chemical, mineralogical, and biological attributes of the soil, affecting the development, growth, and productivity of crops, which justifies studies along toposequence. The planting of eucalyptus makes it possible to use slope areas that are not feasible to plant other crops, due to its greater slope; allied to that, there is a great diversity in the market for its exploration. However, in these areas, eucalyptus cultivation has shown productivity problems, as a result of changes in soil properties due to its position in the landscape. In this context, the objective of the research was to evaluate if there are limitations in the production of eucalyptus due to the physical attributes of the soil in a toposequence, characterizing its variability according to the position in the landscape and identifying the one with the worst use conditions. The research was carried out in an experimental area located in the Coastal Tablelands region of Alagoas, with clonal stands of Eucalyptus sp. The plots used in the experiment were: 0 year (T0), when sugar cane is removed and eucalyptus planted; 6 years (T6), which is the harvest age; in addition to an area of native forest of conserved Atlantic Forest, considered as reference toposequence (TR). Thus, in the three selected toposequences (T0, T6, and TR), the landscape positions were defined: top or upper third of the slope (TSE); the middle third of the slope (TME); and lower third of the slope (TIE). In these, two horizons were studied: one with a cohesive character (HC); and one without, located below that, defined as the selected horizon (HS). For each toposequences, three soil profiles were opened in each position in the landscape, totaling nine profiles per toposequence (3 positions  3 trenches), where the samples were collected: structured (soil cores and aggregated) and unstructured. The total of samples collected in all study areas was 432 samples: 16 per profile, 8 per horizon, with HC and HS, resulting in 48 samples per landscape position and, totaling 144 samples per toposequence (48 samples  3 positions). In the respective samples, the following tests were carried out: distribution of particle size fractions; total porosity and its pore size distribution (macro, meso, structural and biological micropores, textural micropores); bulk density; aggregate stability indexes; tensile strength of aggregates; simulation of soil resistance to root penetration; saturated hydraulic conductivity. Soil quality indexes (IQS) were elaborated, defining the role that attributes have in the soil, from an environmental or agricultural point of view. The statistical analysis of the data along the toposequences revealed that the TSE presented the best results, as observed in the area under cultivation with eucalyptus, six years ago (T6) in the HS, and with less than one year (T0) in the HC, being the worst conditions found in the TME of the T6 area of HC and the TIE of the TR area of HS. These results are according to those obtained by the analysis of the attributes by IQS, demonstrating the effectiveness of this method for assessing soil quality under different managements.

The assessment of nutritional status of the vine is important because it influences yield and quality of grape. Despite this, specific nutritional standards for the grape in the region have not been developed yet. Integrated Diagnosis and Recommendation System (DRIS), modified DRIS (M-DRIS), and Composition Nutrient Diagnosis (CND) are modern methods of nutritional diagnosis that consider the interactions among nutrients and can be used to stablish nutritional standards in Submédio São Francisco Valley. Also, the relationship between nutritional balance and content of Ca bound to pectins in the cell wall (Ca-pectin) has not yet been evaluated. Ca is the nutrient that most interferes with the quality of the fruit, being related to fruit firmness and fruit quality in post-harvest. Thus, the objectives of this study were: to define specific DRIS, M-DRIS, CND norms for grapes in Submédio São Francisco Valley; evaluate and compare nutritional status of grape using these methods in three different production environment; evaluate the relationship of Ca-pectin with DRIS, nutrients concentrations (soil, leaf and fruit) and criteria of fruit quality. The work involved three cultivars produced in the region (BRS Vitória, Sweet Jubilee and Sugar Crisp), grown in three different environments, at PL (Petrolina / PE), JZ (Juazeiro / BA), and CN (Casa Nova / BA) farms. Twenty vineyards were selected and soil, leaf and fruit samples were collected to determine N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn and B concentrations. Database was divided into two populations (high and low-yielding). As a criterion for separating populations, the average yield + 0.5 of the standard deviation was used, with 18.89 Mg ha-1 being the limit for separating them. DRIS standards were developed from the selection of dual ratios between nutrients that had the highest variance ratio between low and high-yielding populations. The respective DRIS, M-DRIS and CND nutrient indices and the Average Nutritional Balance Index (IBNm) of each vineyard were calculated. The results were interpreted by Response Potential to Fertilization (PRA). Fruits were evaluated for berry weight and diameter, bunch length, soluble solids, titratable acidity and berry firmness. Fe, Cu and Zn compromised the normality of some dual relationships. The nutritional diagnosis methods showed high percentage of agreement, suggesting that the use of any of them may be recommended for the region. Nutritional diagnosis carried out by DRIS identified Mn deficiency and excess Ca in vineyards, showing nutritional imbalance in 73% of nutrients. Grape yield was negatively correlated with IBNm, suggesting that grape yield has been influenced by nutritional imbalance. Ca-pectin showed negative correlation with IBNm, indicating that nutritionally unbalanced plants have higher Ca-pectin content. Ca-pectin was positively correlated with TA and did not correlate with berry firmness. Principal component analysis showed that Ca-pectin was correlated with nutrients in the fruit and dry weight, but not with nutrients in the soil and leaf. Fertilization programs need to be monitored and readjusted to optimize fruit yield and quality.
