| Abstract | The aim of the present study was to evaluate the physical proprieties and electrical conductivity of a yellow Ultisol type soil under the cultivation of different sugarcane varieties. The study was conducted under field conditions, at the Carpina experimental station (EECAC / UFRPE), located in the municipality of Carpina, PE, Brazil. A completely randomized experimental design with two sugarcane varieties (RB86 7515; RB92 579) and four replications were used. The varieties were planted in August 2014, and before the first harvesting, soil samples were collected in each plot for pH analysis, texture, moisture content and electrical conductivity of the saturation extract (ECs), at 0-0.20 m layer. The yellow ultisol soil type was classified as sandy loam with clay content below 15 %. The analysis of variance indicated that there was no statistical difference by studied variables. The average ECs value obtained in this study was 0.2 dS m, which is found within the plant requirements. High ECs, clay and moisture content were observed for the variety RB86 7515. The average pH value was 4.5; this result is considered close to sugarcane tolerance limit. |
