Abstract

The objective of this work was to study the responses of Centrosema pubescens fertilized with phosphorus. calcium and Sulphut (correpondent to 500kg/ha of single superphosphate) and the fertilization with these three elements added lo limestone. potassium, molybdenum and zinc. The legume was planted in lour representative soils of the State of São Paulo: Red-Yellow Latasol Terrace Phase, Pinda series (Pindamonhangaba); Red-Yellow Podzolic Soil Laras variation (Nova Odessa); Ortho Dark Red Latosol (Itapetininga) and Quartzous Sand (Brotas). The treatments consisted on the combination of soils with different mineral fertilizations: 1. control (whithout fertilization 2. phosphorus, calcium and Sulphur; 3. treatment 2 plus limestone, potassium, zinc and molybdenum. A split-plot design replicated four times was used in which soils formed the main plots and the fertilizations the subplots. The results showed that for the Brotas soil treatment 3 was better than the other treatments, for plant height and dry matter production. For the soil of Pindamonhangaba and Nova Odessa treatments 2 and 3 were not statistically different for most of dependent variables studied, differing, mean while, from treatment 1.
