1. Spatial Variability of Soil Properties in Intensively Managed Tropical Grassland in BrazilFor the intensification of tropical grass pastures systems the soil fertility building up by liming and balanced fertilization is necessary. The knowledge of spatial variability soil properties is useful in the rational use of inputs, as in the variable rate application of lime and fertilizers. PA requires methods to indicate the spatial variability of soil and plant parameters. The objective of this work was to map and evaluate the soil properties and maps the site specific liming and fertilizer... G.M. Bettiol, R.Y. Inamasu, L.M. Rabello, A.C. Bernardi, M. Campana, P.P.

2. Nitrogen Management in Lowland RiceRice is staple diet for more than fifty percent of the world population and nitrogen (N) deficiency is one of the major yields limiting constraints in most of the rice producing soils around the world. The lowland rice N recovery efficiency is <50% of applied fertilizers in most agro-ecological regions. The low N efficiency is associated with losses caused by leaching, volatilization, surface runoff, and denitrification. Hence, improving N use efficiency is crucial for higher yields, low cost...
