Rain nutrients contents, through fall, and runoff in coffee plantation with different shading; Contenido de nutrimentos en la lluvia, agua de lavado foliar y escorrentia en cafetales con diferentes sombrios

Abstract

Are presented the amount of nutrients found in the rain water, through fall and run-off for full sunlight coffee plantations and coffee plantations shaded with Guamo (Inga sp), Nogal (cordia alliodora), pine (pinus oocarpa) and eucalyptus (eucaliptus grandis) trees. In the rain water for the different ecosystems were measured on average 9.9 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} of potassium, 27.9 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} of calcium and 8.6 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} of magnesium, which are within the values found in humid forests of other tropical conditions. The average amounts of nutrients that enter the round in the through fall are 85.4 kg.ha-1.y-1 for potassium, 41.1 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} for calcium, 12.0 kg.ha{sup 1} .y{sup 1} for magnesium and 21.9 for nitrates kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1}. These concentrations are higher than those observed in the rain water. It is observed a great variability in the amount of the chemical elements for the different shade trees, which is related to the species used for shading. In relation to pH, the foliage washing water (through fall) shows an average value of 6.7 for the ecosystems in study; the lowest values in ph appear for the association of the coffee with the eucalyptus and the pine, pH of  More>>

These concentrations are higher than those observed in the rain water. It is observed a great variability in the amount of the chemical elements for the different shade trees, which is related to the species used for shading. In relation to pH, the foliage washing water (through fall) shows an average value of 6.7 for the ecosystems in study; the lowest values in ph appear for the association of the coffee with the eucalyptus and the pine, pH of 6.3 and - 6.4 respectively. The amounts of nutrients that are mobilized in the run-off water, present average values of 11.0 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} for potassium, 6.2 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} for calcium, 2.5 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} for magnesium and 3.3 kg.ha{sup 1}.y{sup 1} for nitrates. The results of the experiment demonstrate that the potassium is the element of greater mobility in the foliage washing water and in the run-off water. The higher concentrations of potassium, calcium and magnesium are observed in those samples of rain taken after a prolonged dry period, as it was the case during El Nino 1997-1998 event.}
