RESUMO

The soil quality indicators analyses during and after the transition period of conventional to organic production system are very important to evaluated the sustainability of agricultural systems. Soil microbiological and biochemical indicators shall quickly indicate changes occurred on both, soil management and production systems. The objective of this work was to evaluated shifts on microbiological and biochemical soil indicators of a conventional common bean production system in transition to an organic system, under conventional and non-tillage soil management systems after cover crops. Total enzymatic activity (AET), betaglucosidase activity (betaglucosidase), acid fosfatase activity (fosfatase), carbon (CBM) and nitrogen (NBM) of the microbial biomass, the basal soil respiration (RBS) and the metabolic quotient (qCO2) were evaluated on soil samples collected at tillage common bean cycle. The experiment was carried out at Embrapa Rice and Beans, in Santo Antônio de Goiás GO, and it was also collected soil samples in a secondary forest area close to the experiment to be used as a reference. The content of carbon and nitrogen of the soil microbial biomass, as well as, microbial and enzymatic activities in conventional and non-tillage systems were independent of the cover crop specie used. Under the experimental conditions, the soil management systems did not show effect in the enzymatic and microbial soil activities. The total and acid fosfatase enzymatic activities of the cropped soils were lower than in the forest soil. The betaglucosidase enzymatic activity was higher in cropped soil than under forest soil in the raining season and lower in the dry season. The soil tillage performed before common bean sowing promoted shifts on the CO2 efflux from soil to the atmosphere, which was verified by an increase on both, basal soil respiration and metabolic quotient.
