Abstract: Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the main factors that limits productivity in Brazilian soils. However, soil management under no-tillage system (NT) may alter the availability of P in the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of P fractions in a dystrophic Yellow Latosol, cropped under no-tillage for a long period of time in the Amazon Biome. The study was conducted on a farm located in the municipality of Paragominas, southeastern Pará. This experiment evaluated plots cultivated in plots at nine (NT9), 11 (NT11) and 13 (NT13) years of no-tillage system adoption, in one plot under conventional cultivation system (CS) and a surrounding area under native forest (NF) at depths of 0-10, 10-20, 20-30 and 30-40 cm. The soil samples were subjected to P chemical fractionation to determine the different fractions. The soil management systems showed differential capacity of P accumulation. In the areas under no-tillage, P is accumulated in the toplayer and drastically reduced with depth, while in CS, this reduction is less pronounced. In the 0-20 cm depth layer during the adopted period of the no-tillage system, it was observed an increase in the content of inorganic phosphorus extracted by resin and 0.5 M NaHCO3 (PiAER and PiBIC) and organic phosphorus extracted by 0.5 M NaHCO3 (PoBIC), fractions considered as available for Biomass. Regardless of the year of adoption, the no-tillage system was superior to CS and NF. This was also observed for the inorganic and organic fractions extracted by NaOH 0.1M (PiHid-0.1 and PoHid-0.1)and inorganic fraction extracted by HCl 1M (PiHCl).
