CARRIZO, María E; ALESSO, Carlos A; GUEDES, Jair Do Nascimento y DEL CARMEN IMHOFF, Silvia. Reserva de micronutrientes y comparación de dos métodos de extracción en suelos agrícolas Santafesinos. Cienc. suelo [online]. 2013, vol.31, n.1, pp.15-22. ISSN 1850-2067.
The objectives of this study were to determine the pseudototal and available contents of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn as well as their speciation in Argiudolls located in the flat Argentine Pampas, in Santa Fe province, and to compare the contents extracted by EDTA with those by a sequential method. Four soils with different soil use intensity were selected for the study. Pseudototal micronutrient contents were determined and their concentrations were estimated by simple (EDTA) and sequential (BCR) extraction methods. The pseudototal average contents of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn were: 14.4; 14010; 757 and 58.9 mg kg-1, respectively. The EDTA extractable levels were: 4.4; 174.8; 410.6 and 8.4 mg kg-1, respectively. The concentrations of Cu estimated by both methods were similar while higher contents of Fe, Mn and Zn were estimated by the BCR method. Iron, Zn and Cu were mainly found in the residual fraction. About 30% of total Cu was available in the oxidizable fraction and bound to soil organic matter. Zinc was primarily associated with the residual fraction and to a lesser degree to exchangeable, oxidizable and reducible forms. Manganese was mostly linked to the reducible, water-acid soluble and exchangeable fractions. These results confirm that in these soils the availability of all micronutrients determined by the EDTA method are above the critical values for crop growth.
