Resumo
O entendimento e a predição do fluxo de água no solo são essenciais ao manejo agrícola e ambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar e comparar a condutividade hidráulica obtida com a técnica do perfil instantâneo no campo, em um solo mantido em pousio por seis anos e outro cultivado intensivamente por igual período. A técnica empregada para a obtenção da condutividade hidráulica foi a de Hillel. A quantidade de água no Latossolo Vermelho foi determinada convertendo-se os valores de potencial matricial da água no solo em umidade volumétrica, segundo a equação de van Genuchten. As determinações de potencial matricial foram realizadas nas profundidades de 0,2, 0,4, 0,6, 0,8 e 1,0 m, ao longo de 24 dias. Os maiores valores de condutividade hidráulica até a profundidade de 1,0 m ocorreram no solo em pousio. O parâmetro condutividade hidráulica saturada é o responsável pelos maiores valores da função K(teta) determinada em todas as profundidades, independentemente da umidade do solo utilizada como referência.
The understanding and the prediction of the water flow in the soil are essential for its agricultural and environmental management. This work aimed to determine and to compare the hydraulic conductivity obtained by the instantaneous profile method in the field in a soil kept in fallow for six years and other one with intensive cultivation for the same period. The technique of Hillel was used to obtain the hydraulic conductivity. The water content in Red Latosol (Rhodic Eutrudox) was determined by the conversion of the values of matric potential in water content according to the van Genuchten equation. The matric potential determination was accomplished in the depths of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 m, during 24 days. The greatest values of hydraulic conductivity to the depth of 1.0 m were achieved under fallow conditions. The parameter saturated hydraulic conductivity was responsible for the greatest values of the function K(theta) determined in all depths, independently of the water content of the soil used as reference.
