Abstract Fire is traditionally used by smallholders for land preparation in the Brazilian Amazon but burning fallow vegetation has many disadvantages that lead to soil degradation. A fire-free system, based on slash-andmulch of fallow vegetation, has been studied as alternative for site preparation. The technique was considered feasible in the region of eastern Brazilian Amazon, even with the inputs of inorganic fertilizers. However, is very important to verify if a fire-free land preparation system is also feasible in other regions of the Brazilian Amazon. The aim of this study was to evaluate the fire-free system in the Mucajai region of northern Amazon in Brazil. Crop production was measured as a result of lime and low doses of fertilize...
