Summary:ABSTRACT The application of pig slurry may have different influence on copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) dynamics in the soil compared with mineral fertilization. The aim of this research was to determine the different forms of Cu and Zn in soil and their uptake by bean plants in response to the application of mineral fertilizer and pig slurry (PS). The treatments were: mineral fertilizer (Cu and Zn oxides) and liquid pig slurry, at increasing rates (0/0, 1.7/6.0, 3.4/12.0 and 6.8/24.0 kg ha-1 Cu/Zn, respectively) applied in a Rhodic Kandiudox. PS increased the Cu content in soil in the exchangeable form, Fe oxides and residual, while the mineral fertilizer increased Cu contents in the fraction associated with soil organic matter. Soil Zn contents in the fractions available, exchangeable and SOM were highest under mineral fertilization, while in the soluble fraction the contents were highest under PS. The fertilizers had not impact on Cu and Zn contents associated with Al oxides, and these elements were mostly associated with Fe oxides in the soil. PS promoted the highest biomass production in shoots and roots of the bean plants, reflecting in the highest accumulation of Cu and Zn. RESUMO A aplicação de dejeto suíno pode ter influência diferente na dinâmica do cobre (Cu) e zinco (Zn) no solo em relação à adubação mineral. Objetivou-se, neste trabalho, determinar as formas de Cu e Zn no solo e sua absorção pelas plantas de feijão em resposta à aplicação de fertilizante mineral e dejeto suíno, cujos tratamentos foram: fertilizante mineral (óxido de Cu/Zn) e dejeto suíno (DS) em doses crescentes (0/0, 1,7/6,0, 3,4/12,0 e 6,8/24,0 kg ha-1 de Cu/Zn, respectivamente) aplicados em Nitossolo Vermelho. O DS aumentou o teor de Cu no solo nas frações disponível, trocável, óxidos de Fe e residual enquanto o fertilizante mineral aumentou na fração associada a matéria orgânica do solo (MOS). O teor de Zn no solo nas frações disponível, trocável e MOS foi maior na aplicação de fertilizante mineral enquanto na fração solúvel foi maior com o DS. Os fertilizantes não interferiram no teor de Cu nem no Zn ligados aos óxidos de Al sendo a maior parte associada aos óxidos de Fe no solo. O DS proporcionou maior produção de biomassa de parte aérea e raízes nas plantas de feijão refletindo no maior acúmulo de Cu e Zn.
