RESUMO

Several studies have shown the benefits of applying sewage sludge on the physical and chemical properties of the soils. However, just a few of them evaluates the impact of this practice on the behavior of pesticides in tropical soils. The main goal of this research was to evaluate the effects of applying different sources of sewage sludge (Ribeirão Preto, Franca e Jundiaí) on the sorption / desorption and leaching of ametryne in soils from São Paulo state (Brazil) cultivated with sugarcane (Neossolo Quartzarênico Órtico Típico (RQ), Latossolo Vermelho Distrófico Típico (LVd), Argissolo Vermelho Eutroférrico Chernossólico (PV) e Latossolo Vermelho Distroférrico (LVdf). Five concentrations (4.4 to 79.8 mg a.i. ha-1) of the herbicide were applied to the soil samples to attain the Freündlich sorption coefficients (Kf) and the apparent sorption coefficient for the lower concentration (Kd ap [menor]), which corresponded to the field application rate. For the leaching test the adopted method was the soil leaching columns (diameter = 5 cm and depth = 30 cm), in triplicates, over which a 200 mm rainfall evenly distributed during 48 h was simulated just after ametryne application at the rate of 3.0 kg a.i. ha-1. In general, ametryne sorption ranged from moderate to high in all treatments (2.68 95% of the applied amount) was found at 0 -10 cm soil depth in the column. It implies that ametryne has low potential to contaminate groundwater even in sandy soils, such as the RQ (90% sand)
