This study was carried out on the data obtained from 35 plot areas selected among the vertical distribution regions of maquis in study area located in Eastern Mediterranean region. The data were grouped in terms of altitude, dominant exposure, vegetation height, and mean age factors, and it is tried to reveal the change of maquis biomass depending on these factors. The data obtained shown significant variation and, for this reason, the mass values are expressed as mean values. The potential relationship between the mentioned factors and the amounts of stored biomass was examined by using t-test and variation analysis. The mean aboveground biomass amount was found to be 24,183 ton/ha, while mean belowground biomass that doesn’t contain fine root was found to be 41,062 ton/ha. According to these results obtained from mean values, the root/shoot ratio was calculated to be 1.7.

Determining Factors

Nitrogen nutrition considerably influences the process of growing and producing potato crops. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of nitrogen nutrition on the pattern of biomass and nitrogen partitioning during the growth of potato crop in Mérida, Mérida, Venezuela. Experimental land plots were set, with a randomized blocks design, and with three different fertilization treatment settings for the "Granola" cultivar. The first one without nitrogen (0-N), the next one with 133 Kg N Ha-1 (133-N), and the last one with 400 Kg N Ha-1 (400-N). In the main phenological stages of the crop, biomass and nitrogen levels were measured for each organ. The performance of the tubers and the total biomass are strongly influenced by the availability of nitrogen and assimilatory biomass. The total biomass production, as well as the biomass and nitrogen partitioning to each organ, showed the following sequence: 400-N > 133-N > 0-N. However, biomass and nitrogen partitioning to the roots and stolons was higher in the treatment with limited nitrogen levels. Proportional changes among aboveground and belowground biomass are adaptive responses to nitrogen deficit conditions, which, in their turn, are determining factors in crop production.

La productivité de la morelle noire est faible sur les sols surexploités dans les zones périurbaines de Brazzaville. L’objectif était d’évaluer l’apport de la terre des termitières sur la croissance végétale de trois cultivars de la morelle noire. Les termitières collectées ont été broyées, tamisées et amendées les planches de 3 m x 1,2 m. Une planche ayant reçu 0 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg et 6 kg de terre des termitières, 60 plants d’un cultivar ont été repiqués aux écartements 20 x 20 cm selon un schéma bi factoriel complet 4 x 3 logé dans un dispositif en bloc complètement randomisé. Les traitements ont été répétés trois fois. Les résultats ont révélé une meilleure croissance en hauteur et en diamètre ainsi qu’un meilleur développement foliaire des plants amendés avec les doses de la terre des termitières en comparaison de ceux n’en ayant pas reçu. L’apport de 6 kg de terre des termitières montre une influence positive sur le développement racinaire de plants des trois cultivars. L’apport 2 kg, 4 kg et 6 kg de terre de termitières améliore la croissance végétative et le rendement en biomasses aérienne et souterraine de trois cultivars de morelle noire cultivés au Congo. © 2020 International Formulae Group.

English Title: Effect of the termite mounds on the vegetative production of three cultivars of black nightshade (Solanum nigrum L.: Solanaceae) grown in Brazzaville, Congo English Abstract The productivity of black nightshade is low on the overexploited soils in the suburban areas of Brazzaville. The objective was to evaluate the contribution of termite mound on the plant growth of three black nightshade cultivars. The termite mounds were collected, crushed, sieved and amended the planks of 3m x 1.2m. A board having received 0 kg, 2 kg, 4 kg and 6 kg of termite mounds, 60 plants of a cultivar were transplanted at 20 x 20 cm intervals according to a complete 4 x 3 bi-factorial diagram housed in a block plan completely randomized. The treatments were repeated three times. The results showed better growth in height and diameter, as well as better foliar development of seedlings amended with termite mounds compared to those that did not. The contribution of 6 kg of termite mound had a positive influence on the root development of the three cultivars. The contribution of 2 kg, 4 kg and 6 kg of termite mound improved vegetative growth and yield in aboveground and belowground biomass of three black nightshade cultivars grown in Congo. © 2020 International Formulae Group.
