Item Development and evaluation of slow-release organomineral phosphate fertilizer based on coffee waste(Editora UFLA, 2024-05-31) Barbosa, Nathalia Silvestrin; Luz, Mario Sérgio da; Sousa, Nádia Guimarães; Santos, Kássia Graciele dosSlow-release fertilizers are sustainable alternatives to soil nutrition that can effectively enhance agricultural productivity. In this study, we formulated slow-release organomineral fertilizers using spent coffee grounds (SCG) impregnated with triple superphosphate (TSP). The effects of the composition of the fertilizer on pellet resistance and P release capacity were evaluated, along with heat treatment at different temperatures and times. The pellets with 10 g sugarcane molasses and 2.5 g TSP per gram of SCG, dried at 100 °C, presented the best mechanical resistance, releasing about 90% P in 13.8 h. The release kinetics of these pellets followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model, controlled by Fickian diffusion. The fertilizer thermally treated at 400 °C for 30 min was classified as a slow-release fertilizer, as it released 90% P in 793.3 h. Thus, the partial carbonization of biomass promoted P adsorption to the surface of the porous matrix of the pellets, allowing the slow release of nutrients. Overall, we found that pelletized OMFs can be used as sustainable and inexpensive fertilizers derived from waste biomass; thus, their application can contribute to eco-friendly agricultural practices.Item Mycorrhizal effects on glomalin-related soil protein and chlorophyll contents in coffee plants in the Peruvian Amazon(Escola de Agronomia - UFG, 2022-03-21) Solis, Reynaldo; Vallejos-Torres, Geomar; Arévalo, Luis; Caceres, BenjaminThe inoculation of vegetatively propagated coffee plants with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) prior to field establishment may positively influence the plant growth and physiology. This study aimed to evaluate the AMF effects on the glomalin-related soil protein and chlorophyll contents in vegetatively propagated coffee plants inoculated in a greenhouse and transplanted to an open field, in the Peruvian Amazon. The experiment consisted of eight treatments, in a 2 × 4 factorial design, being two coffee varieties (Caturra and Pache) and four AMF inocula (control, Moyobamba, El Dorado and Huallaga). The inocula were collected from organic coffee crops and named according to the province from which they were collected. The mycorrhizal colonization and chlorophyll content were statistically higher in the plants inoculated with AMF, if compared to the non-inoculated plants, while the glomalin-related soil protein content ranged from 61.6 to 69.1 mg g-1 and showed no statistically significant differences among the inocula, although the Moyobamba inoculum showed to be numerically superior. The effect of the coffee variety was not statistically significant among the variables under study.
