Abstract

For five years, a stationary field experiment was
carried out at �??Enrique Varona�?� Agroindustrial Complex, with
the objective of evaluating the cumulative and residual effect
of applying different vinasse dilutions in water at the rates of
1/2.5, 1/5, 1/10 and 1/20 on Vertisol chemical properties and
sugar cane yields. It was observed that vinasse dilutions
increased the content of calcium and other cations, as well as
base exchange capacity. Results proved that treatments using
vinasse with water improved soil intercationic balance; also,
base-exhange capacity and yields increased and the useful
life period of the strain lengthened.
