Nitrogen transformations in soil-plant system after herbicide application Herbicide adoption might modify nitrogen dynamics in agroecossystems and, for consequence, nutrient availability for plants and microorganisms. These modifications may occur because of plant physiologic changes and/or due to herbicide effects on activity and composition of soil microbial community, which has important functions on system N modifications. In this context, thesis was developed with the following objectives: 1Evaluating nitrogen losses in soilplant system, with no distinction to exit ways, after herbicide application in Pennicetum glaucum, Avena strigosa and Brachiaria ruziziensis; 2 – Evaluating NH4 + plant concentration, NH3 emission by leaves and soil NH3 volatilization after herbicide application in B. decumbens; 3Evaluating nitrogen compounds exudation by B. decumbens after the application of the herbicides glyphosate, ammonium-glufosinate or paraquat; and 4Evaluating nitrogen mineralization of P. glaucum e B. decumbens straw previously desiccated with herbicides and N-straw usefulness by corn plants. Glyphosate increased NH4 + concentration in plants of B. decumbens and, by consequence, NH3 leaf emission in two plant species of Brachiaria genus. Ammonia volatilization from soil was not affected by application of the herbicide glyphosate. Nitrogen losses of the soil-plant system were larger after glyphosate and ammonium-glufosinate application on P. glaucum, B. decumbens and B. ruziziensis. However, for A. strigosa, the losses were not affected by herbicide application. The herbicides glyphosate and ammonium-glufosinate modified species N partition, reducing N amount in leaves. System nitrogen losses and N plant partition were not affected by the herbicide paraquat, applied on B. ruziziensis and A. strigosa. Nitrogen compounds exudation was higher after application of the herbicides glyphosate, ammonium-glufosinate or paraquat on B. decumbens. Nitrogen mineralization from crop residues of P. glaucum e A. strigosa was reduced by crop desiccation with the herbicides glyphosate and ammonium-glufosinate, being observed smaller N-fertilizer amount in corn grown in soil with straw of these covering crops. Thus, kernel dry mass and whole plant dry mass were not affected by herbicide application for P. glaucum e A. strigosa desiccation. Microbial biomass carbon and ammonium-nitrate conversion were smaller in soil covered with P. glaucum straw previously desiccated with herbicides when compared to the check. Based on the results reached in this thesis, one could conclude that glyphosate, ammonium-glufosinate and paraquat may affect nitrogen dynamics at agroecossystems, reducing N availability for crops. These results indicate the necessity for developing new researches, aiming to know the real magnitude of the impacts caused by herbicides in the processes of nitrogen cycle. The information obtained in the work and in future researches related to the theme might be useful for creating management strategies that increase N crop usefulness and reduce environmental impact caused by herbicide and fertilizer adoption.
