In both treatments, corn, beans, and squash were associated. While corn and bean yields were equal, squash showed higher output with slash-and-burn management. Burning decreased the soil content of organic matter and plant-available N, while it increased the reserves of exchangeable K, Ca and Mg, the salinity, and the bulk density. The alternative fallow management increased the N and the organic matter reservoir in the soil. The results demonstrated that a fire-free milpa requires an additional fertilization from the first year on. 2018 artículo científico 1405-0269 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10454952011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/104/10454952011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/104/10454952011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/104/10454952011/10454952011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/104/10454952011/movil https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v25n2a5 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=104 CIENCIA ergo-sum, Revista Científica Multidisciplinaria de Prospectiva application/pdf Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México CIENCIA ergo-sum, Revista Científica Multidisciplinaria de Prospectiva (México) Num.2 Vol.25 |
