Assim, em duas áreas que receberam lodo de esgoto por 18 anos consecutivos, o objetivo foi avaliar a concentração de Pb, Ni e Zn no solo e plantas de milho após a 18ª aplicação do resíduo. Este experimento ocorreu no ano agrícola 2014/2015 em área de LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Eutroférrico e LATOSSOLO VERMELHO Distrófico, no município de Jaboticabal, SP; com 4 tratamentos (0, 5, 10 e 20 t ha-1 de lodo de esgoto, respectivamente T0, T5, T10 e T20) organizados no delineamento em blocos casualizados com 5 repetições. Foram avaliadas as concentrações pseudototal através do método 3050 B da USEPA e teor disponível através do método Mehlich 1 de Pb, Ni e Zn no solo, acúmulo desses metais na parte aérea das plantas, teor nos grãos e na folha diagnose; estado nutricional, produtividade e massa seca da parte aérea da planta. As concentrações de Pb, Ni e Zn no solo das duas áreas que receberam lodo de esgoto foram superiores aquelas que receberam apenas fertilização mineral convencional, porém no 18º ano de aplicação de lodo, os teores desses metais no solo ainda permanecem abaixo dos níveis estabelecidos para intervenção agrícola, de acordo com a legislação brasileira...

Thus, in two areas that received sewage sludge for 18 consecutive years, the objective was to evaluate the concentration of Pb, Ni and Zn in the soil and corn plants after the 18th application of the residue. This experiment occurred in the agricultural year 2014/2015 in the area of Red Oxisol eutroferric and Red Oxisol distrophic, in the municipality of Jaboticabal, SP; with 4 treatments (0, 5, 10 and 20 t ha-1 of sewage sludge, respectively T0, T5, T10 and T20) organized in a randomized block design with 5 replicates. The pseudototal concentrations were evaluated using the USEPA method 3050 B and content available by the Mehlich 1 method of Pb, Ni and Zn in the soil, accumulation of these metals in the aerial part of the plants, grain content and diagnosis leaf; nutritional status, productivity and dry mass of the aerial part of the maize plant. The concentrations of Pb, Ni and Zn in the soil of the two areas that received sewage sludge were higher than those that only received conventional mineral fertilization, but after the 18th year of sludge application, the levels of these metals in the soil still remain below the established levels for agricultural intervention, in Brazilian leg...
