The intensity of mechanical tillage operations, in association with the quality and quantity of plant residues added to soil, reflects in the biological functioning of agricultural systems. The soil capacity to stabilize and protect enzymes is an early-warning indication of conditions favoring soil organic matter (SOM) stabilization and storage. The biologically most active soil, with increased arylsulfatase and beta-glucosidase activities and SOM contents resulting from the inclusion of brachiaria in the production system, was also the most productive. An advantage of the FERTBIO soil sample concept for farmers and commercial laboratories is the standardization of the sampling time and pretreatment procedures for soil chemical fertility (FERT) and biological (BIO) analyses, reducing operational costs.
