Abstract

The modern agriculture comes looking for ways to increase productivity, acting of conservative and rational manner. Then, appear techniques that aim improve quality soil. The present research beginner in 1997/98, and is been realized in Selvíria (MS), in “Latossolo Vermelho (Oxisol)”, with objective of verify the influence of two soil tillage and different cover plants in corn (Zea mays L.) production. The experimental design was the randomized blocks with split-plot design, with ten treatments and four replications. Ten treatments were constituted in pieces for Mucuna aterrima, Pennisetum americanum, Crotalaria juncea and Cajanus cajan and espontaneous vegetation (resting) and, in split-splot for no-tillage and conventional tillage (soil tillage with heavy disking and leveling disking). According to obtained results verified the interaction soil tillage x cover plant was significative. Pennisetum americanum in no-tillage is the cover plant that proporcionated the best answer in corn grain production compared conventional tillage; cover plants, in each soil tillage, did not differ in corn grain production
