This work aimed to evaluate the agronomic efficiency of granite dust from four different origins (Bacabeira-MA; Duque de Caxias-RJ; Jaboatão do Guararapes-PE; and Santana do Paranaíba-SP) as a soil remineralizer, through experiments in a controlled environment. In the first stage, an incubation experiment was carried out with the four granite powders in soil with a sandy texture (Quartzarenic Neosol) using the factorial 4 (origins of the granite powder) x 5 (doses: 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 t ha-1) with four replications for 60 days with subsequent analysis of the soil's chemical attributes. After this stage, the same soil was used to grow corn and beans in pot systems (5 kg) with the same soil used in the first stage with four replications. By analyzing the aerial part of the plants, collected 55 days after emergence, biomass production, the content and accumulated amounts of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) and micronutrients (B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) were analyzed. The results obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, followed by regression analysis. This study demonstrated that granite powder significantly improves the chemical properties of the soil, including higher levels of phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg). It also increases soil pH and reduces aluminum toxicity. Additionally, it positively influenced the growth and nutrient absorption of maize and bean plants, leading to greater biomass production and improved nutritional status.

Considering this, the objective was to evaluate the agronomic efficiency of using solubilizing microorganisms and nepheline syenite rock powder as a potassium source in cassava cultivation. The study was carried out in field in the rural area of Iporá-GO, from June 2024 to June 2025. The treatments were distributed in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split plots, in a 3 x 8 factorial scheme, with four replications. Three potassium sources were evaluated: 100% rock dust (100% PR); 100% potassium chloride (100% KCl); and 50% rock dust + 50% KCl (50% PR + 50% KCl). And eight treatments with microorganisms: Control; Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (Amy); Bacillus aryabhattai (Ary); Cladosporium cladosporioides (Cla); and the combinations Amy + Ary, Amy + Cla, Ary + Cla, and Amy + Ary + Cla. Treatments containing nepheline syenite rock powder resulted in a greater number and weight of roots per plant, as well as higher starch and root productivity, compared to KCl fertilizer. The Amy + Ary and Amy + Cla co-inoculations contributed to increased dry matter and starch content in the roots. Nepheline syenite has shown potential to partially or completely replace KCl as a potassium source in cassava cultivation. The evaluated microorganisms contributed to improving the industrial quality of the roots.

This study aimed to evaluate the incubation curve of phosphate carbonatite and its effects on the chemical attributes of a Dystrophic Red Latosol. The experiment was carried out under greenhouse conditions using a randomized block design with four replications and rates of 0, 1, 3, and 5 t ha⁻¹ of the remineralizer. Soil samples were collected every 30 days during an incubation period of up to 120 days. Throughout the evaluation period, a gradual increase in soil pH and a reduction in potential acidity were observed, especially at the highest application rates, reflecting the progressive dissolution of carbonate minerals. The phosphate carbonatite application promoted a continuous increase in soil phosphorus contents during incubation, indicating the progressive release of apatites present in the material. Changes were also observed in cation exchange capacity, base saturation, and the dynamics of micronutrients (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn), mainly associated with changes in soil pH. Overall, the results indicate that phosphate carbonatite acts as a gradual release remineralizer with potential to be integrated into sustainable soil fertility management strategies, particularly in highly weathered tropical environments.

The objective was to evaluate the nutritional status of sugarcane subjected to different phosphorus sources associated with biosolubilizing microorganisms. The experiment was carried out in a green-house, in a randomized block design with four replications. Three phosphorus sources were evaluated (phosphate carbonatite rock powder, single superphosphate, and a combination of both) associated with inoculation/co-inoculation of Bacillus spp., Cladosporium cladospori-oides, and Trichoderma harzianum. Ninety-five days after planting, foliar macro- and mi-cronutrient levels were determined. The results showed that the use of the remineralizer provided phosphorus levels like soluble fertilizer, in addition to contributing to potassium supply. The combination of sources favored an increase in zinc. Regarding microorganisms, Trichoderma harzianum stood out by promoting increases in phosphorus, sulfur, and micro-nutrients, regardless of the source used, while Bacillus spp. and Cladosporium cladospori-oides showed greater efficiency when associated with poorly soluble sources. It is concluded that the use of remineralizers associated with biosolubilizing microorganisms constitutes a promising strategy to increase the nutritional efficiency of sugarcane, reduce dependence on imported fertilizers, and promote sustainable production systems.
