RESUMO

Eucalyptus sp. stands, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, present some nutrient limitations that can implicate growth and sustainability of the forests in the future. It happens because of high nutrient exportation during timber harvesting and also because of the low soil fertility and insufficient use of fertilizers in these areas. Through classic methodologies, the identification of the limiting nutrients is possible to monitor these stands and to determine the nutrient and the chemical parameters that limiting the growth. It were surveyed three regions of the state of São Paulo (Capão Bonito, Jacareí and Lençóis Paulista), during the years of 1997 to 2000. Data were collected in 209 sample plots, in 117 stands of 21 farms, totalizing 2.215 ha. The ages surveyed varied from 12 to 45 months old. Sample plots had 25 and 50 trees, that we measured total height for site index estimation (base age 7 years). Leaf and soil samples were collected to determine the nutrient content in the leaves and the soil chemical nutrients. Data were analyzed based in the method of the critical level, analyses of correlation and linear regression and through the diagnose and recommendation based on integrated system (DRIS). It was verified that the nutrients that limit Eucalyptus sp. growth were: boron, phosphorus, nitrogen and high copper content in Capão Bonito and Jacareí regions; the high manganese content in Jacareí and Lençóis Paulista regions and high calcium content, along with low magnesium and potassium content in the Lençóis Paulista region.
