Com o objectivo de estudar uma possível optimização da adubação mineral de trigo mole e sua interacção com estrumação, foi desenvolvido um ensaio onde, numa área com trigo mole, regado e em sementeira directa, se interagiram os 3 macronutrientes principais, com 3 níveis de estrume. Para esta interacção foram analisados vários parâmetros que resultaram em 3 parâmetros principais, produção de grão, de palha e também as extracções totais de N, P, K da cultura. De acordo com os resultados obtidos pôde-se verificar que a aplicação de estrume não revelou efeitos positivos na produção de grão/palha do trigo. A elevada fertilidade do solo em sementeira directa ofereceu à cultura uma base sustentável para o seu desenvolvimento sem que seja necessária a adubação mineral actualmente padronizada. Por fim foi evidente a importância da antecipação da 1ª cobertura realizada no trigo para o estado de afilhamento, factor que contribuiu significativamente para o sucesso da cultura; Optimization of mineral fertilizer in irrigated wheat and its interaction with the level of manure ABSTRACT: With the aim of studying the optimization of mineral fertilization of common wheat and their interaction with manure, it was developed a study where in an area with soft wheat, watered and with no tillage, we interacted 3 main macronutrients and 3 manure levels. To this interaction were analyzed several parameters that resulted in three major parameters, production of grain and straw and also the total extraction of N, P, K culture. According to the results it was observed that the application of manure did not show positive effects in the production of grain / wheat straw. The high soil fertility on direct seeding culture offered a sustainable base for its development without requiring high fertilization. Finally it was evident the importance of the anticipation of the 1st cover held in wheat, a factor that contributed significantly to the success of the crop.

The main sources of ammonia generation are in agricultural activities, with great representation of poultry, by using feed lot systems with adoption of deep bedding on floor to retain the manure. Ammonia produced in broiler systems production generates damages to animals, humans and environment. The main source of ammonia in the manure deposited on the bed is the excreted nitrogen. With the adoption of appropriate techniques of environmental management, through of adequate ventilation and bed management, control of pH, temperature and humidity are possible significant reductions in ammonia emission, as well as with the use of additives and control the appropriate nitrogen content that is provided in the rations.

Conservation Agriculture (CA) is mostly referred to in the literature as having three principles at the core of its identity: minimum soil disturbance, permanent organic soil cover and crop diversity. This farming package has been described as suitable to improve yields and livelihoods of smallholders in semi-arid regions of Kenya, which since the colonial period have been heavily subjected to tillage. Our study is based on a qualitative approach that followed local meanings and understandings of soil fertility, rainfall and CA in Ethi and Umande located in the semi-arid region of Laikipia, Kenya. Farm visits, 53 semistructured interviews, informal talks were carried out from April to June 2015. Ethi and Umande locations were part of a resettlement programme after the independence of Kenya that joined together people coming from different farming contexts. Since the 1970–80s, state and NGOs have been promoting several approaches to control erosion and boost soil fertility. In this context, CA has also been promoted preferentially since 2007. Interviewees were well acquainted with soil erosion and the methods to control it. Today, rainfall amount and distribution are identified as major constraints to crop performance. Soil fertility is understood as being under control since farmers use several methods to boost it (inorganic fertilisers, manure, terraces, agroforestry, vegetation barriers). CA is recognised to deliver better yields but it is not able to perform well under severe drought and does not provide yields as high as ‘promised’ in promotion campaigns. Moreover, CA is mainly understood as “cultivating with chemicals”, “kulima na dawa”, in kiswahili. A dominant view is that CA is about minimum tillage and use of pre-emergence herbicides. It is relevant to reflect about what kind of CA is being promoted and if elements like soil cover and crop rotation are given due attention. CA based on these two ideas, minimum tillage and use of herbicides, is hard to stand as a programme to be promoted and up-scaled. Therefore CA appears not to be recognised as a convincing approach to improve the livelihoods in Laikipia.
