Conteúdo:	Alluvial soils along the white water rivers; locally known as várzeas, are a major land resource in the Amazon basin. The state of Amazonas in Brazil has about 25 million hectares of such soils. Their high base status, adequate water supply, and eight-month flood-free period provide appropriate conditions for intensive food production in a region dominated by low fertility Oxisols and Ultisols. Total soil N is low in many of these soils, suggesting a potential nutrient deficiency. Yield response to N has been noted to increase during successive com crops in várzea soils. This response would be magnified with the use of improved, high yielding varieties.
