L. da S. aSurface infiltration on tropical plinthosols in Maranhão, Brazil.h[electronic resource] c2012 aPlinthosols are soils that have inherent limitations such as the formation of highly condensed layers, surface crust formation and restricted water percolation, there by hampering their management for agricultural production. According to Embrapa (2006), this kind of soil when subjected to the continual process of wetting and drying encourages the development of a plinthic horizon, which means that the soil remains saturated and is subject to water table level fluctuations.... aMaranhão aTropical plinthosols1 aOLIVEIRA, A.
