Abstract:
An experiment in columns of soil was carried out in Laboratorio de Aproveitamento de
Resíduos e Mecânica dos Solos at Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, with the objective of
evaluating the effect of leachate lamina application and two kinds of gesso in order to recupere
affected salted soils in irrigated belt of Custódia, Pernambuco State, Brazil. Treatments were arranged
in a completely randomized design in a factorial 2 (kinds of gesso: jazzed and recycled) × 5 (laminas
of leachate: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 volume of soil pores), with three replications. It was determined
electric conductivity and sodium concentration in soil leachate. Recycled and jazzed gesso presented
similar response to salt leaching and soluble sodium in soil.
