摘要
The Physiographic Area of the Upper San Francisco river valley (MG) has been expanding its coffee culture, demanding soil studies with the objective of selecting those more capable to rationalize their use and management. This work had as an objective, to evaluate the use potential and to quantify characteristics of soils cultivated with coffee plants managed under the system considered conservationist. We studied six tracts of land in which the morphological description and the pedological classification were conducted, besides the study of the soil physical and chemical characteristics, and classification of the lands according to their use capacity. The studied soils were classified as latossolic dystrophic Tb Haplic Cambisol (CXbd), dystrophic Red Latosol (LVd) and dystrophic Tb Haplic Cambisol (CXbd). The latossolic CXbd (Inceptisol) and LVd (Oxisol) were framed in the use capacity system as belonging to the class IIIc-1, s-5 and CXbd belonging to the class VIe-1, s-1-3, c-1. The cultivation of coffee under the conservationist system promoted improvements in chemical and physical characteristics of the studied soils, further supported by field measurements that revealed higher development of the culture root system and reduction of the water deficit, besides a productivity increase. The results point to a higher use potential of the soils under conservationist system in comparison with that recommended by the use capacity system.
