Diante disso, objetivou-se com o estudo avaliar a emergência e crescimento inicial de tomate ‘Santa Clara’, em função da salinidade da água de irrigação e diferentes condições de preparo das sementes. O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Instituto Federal do Ceará (IFCE) - Campus Sobral, em duas etapas distintas, em Laboratório e no Telado Agrícola, sendo esta segunda em Delineamento em Blocos ao Acaso (DBA), em esquema fatorial 3 x 5, composta de três condições de preparo das sementes (plantio direto de sementes; sementes embebidas em solução salina a 3,0 dSm-¹ por 48 h, sementes embebidas em água da torneira por 24 h, em temperatura ambiente) e cinco níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação (0,3; 1,5; 2,5; 3,5; 4,5 dSm-¹) com 3 repetições e 15 sementes de cada. As variáveis de emergência de plântulas do tomateiro analisadas aos 15 dias após a semeadura (DAS) foram: percentagem de emergência (%E), tempo médio de emergência (TME) e índice de velocidade emergência (IVE) e de crescimento inicial aos 20 DAS, foram: altura da planta (AP), número de folhas (NF), diâmetro do caule (DC), comprimento da raiz (CR), peso da matéria fresca da parte aérea (PMFPA), peso da matéria fresca da raiz (PMFR), peso da matéria seca da parte aérea (PMSPA) e peso da matéria seca da raiz (PMSR). Dos resultados concluiu-se que a condição de preparo das sementes embebidas em solução salina a 3,0 dSm-¹ por 48 h foi eficaz para todas as variáveis analisadas; - o nível de salinidade afetou negativamente as variáveis estudadas a partir de 3,5 dSm-¹; - as condições em que continham embebições, independente da forma, mostraram efeito positivo na emergência e desenvolvimento inicial de tomateiro.

LIMA2.EMERGENCY AND INITIAL GROWTH OF THE "SANTA CLARA" TOMATOES, DEPENDING ON THE SALINITY AND PREPARATION CONDITIONS OF SEEDS2 ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to evaluate the emergence and early growth of the 'Santa Clara' tomato crop, depending on irrigation, water salinity and different conditions of preparation of seeds. The work was developed in IFCE - Campus Sobral, in two stages: in the laboratory and in the agricultural greenhouse, which is second in experimental design of randomized blocks in a factorial 3 x 5, composed of three conditions of preparation of seeds (till seeds, seeds soaked in saline 3.0 dSm-1 for 48h imbibed seed in tap water for 24h at room temperature) and five levels of irrigation water salinity (0.3; 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5 dSm-¹). The tomato seedlings emergency treatments at 15 DAS were: emergency percentage (PE), mean emergence time (TME) and emergency speed index (EVI), and initial growth to 20 DAS were: plant height (AP), number of leaves (NF), stem diameter (DC), root length (CR), fresh weight of shoot (PMFPA), fresh weight of the root (PMFR), dry weight of part air (PMSPA) and dry matter weight of the root (PMSR). From the results, it was concluded that: - the status of preparation of seeds soaked in saline to 3.0 dSm-¹ for 48 h was effective for all variables; - The level of salinity negatively affected the variables from 3.5 dSm-¹; - The conditions contained soaks, which regardless of the form, showed a positive effect on the emergence and early development.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN COWPEA CULTIVARS IN FUNCTION OF IRRIGATION WATER SALINITY 2 ABSTRACT The salinity of soil and water is one of the main abiotic restrictions in food production. This present study was developed at the Federal University of Piauí, in Alvorada do Gurguéia, PI, Brazil, with the objective to evaluate the effect of irrigation water salinity on the morphophysiology of cowpea cultivars. Five salinity levels of the irrigation water were studied (0.01, 1.41, 2.81, 4.21, and 5.61 dS m-1); three cultivars: BRS Tumucumaque, BRS Guariba and BRS Imponente in two cultivation periods. A randomized complete block design was used in the split-split plot arrangement, with four replications. Dry mass aerial part (MSPA), leaf area (AF), leaf area index (IAF), crop growth rate (TCC), relative growth rate (TCR) and liquid assimilation rate (TAL) were evaluated. There was a significant effect of the interaction between factors in all variables analyzed. MSPA, AF and IAF at 25 DAS (days after sowing), showed linear reductions to increases in salinity. BRS Tumucumaque showed greater tolerance to the salinity effects in the final growth phase, with the highest threshold salinity indexes for TAL, TCR and TCC. While the BRS Guariba was more tolerant in the initial growth phase. Keywords: Vigna unguiculata, saline stress, morphology.

O experimento foi desenvolvido em casa de vegetação no município de Pombal, Paraíba PB, no período de abril a maio de 2015. Adotou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 4 x 3 x 2 constituído de quatro níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação - CEa (0,3; 1,5; 3,0 e 4,5 dS m-1) e três substratos [S1= solo; S2= solo + composto orgânico (2:1); e S3 = solo + esterco bovino (2:1)], e duas variedades de melão (V1= Melão Gaúcho Casca de Carvalho; V2= Hales Best Jumbo), com quatro repetições e três plantas úteis por repetição. As plantas foram conduzidas em recipientes com capacidade de 0,5 dm3 durante 32 dias após a semeadura, quando foram avaliadas quanto ao crescimento e acúmulo de matéria seca. O crescimento e o acúmulo de matéria seca de ambas as variedades foram reduzidos com o aumento da salinidade da água de irrigação. O crescimento e acúmulo de massa seca da variedade Hales Best Jumbo no substrato constituído de solo com composto orgânico foi menos afetado pelo estresse salino. A variedade Gaúcho Casca de Carvalho é a mais sensível ao estresse salino independente do substrato utilizado. Palavras-chave: Cucumis melo L.; estresse salino, composto orgânico. LOPES, M. A.

The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in the city of Pombal, Paraíba, PB, in the period April-May 2015. We adopted a completely randomized design in a factorial 4 x 3 x 2 design, consisting of four levels of irrigation water salinity (0.3, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 dS m-1) and three substrates [S1= ground; S2= soil + organic compound (2:1); and S3= soil + manure (2:1)] , and two varieties of melon (V1 = Gaúcho Casca de Carvalho; V2 = Hales Best Jumbo), with four replications and three plants per repetition. Plants were kept in containers with a capacity of 0.5 dm3 for 32 days after sowing, when they were evaluated for growth and accumulation of dry matter. Growth and dry matter accumulation of both varieties were reduced with increasing irrigation water salinity. The growth and accumulation of dry mass of the Hales Best Jumbo variety in the substrate composed of soil with organic compost was less affected by salt stress. The Gaúcho Casca de Carvalho variety is the most sensitive to salt stress regardless of the substrate used. Keywords: Cucumis melo L., salt stress, organic compound

ABSTRACT Salinity is a complex phenomenon that affects the metabolic processes of the plant, changing the physiological and biochemical parameters. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation water salinity on growth, biomass and gas exchanges in soybean crop in soil with and without biofertilizer. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the experimental area of the Agrometeorological Station of the UFC, Fortaleza, CE, Brazil, from May to June 2016. The treatments were distributed in randomized blocks in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme, corresponding to the levels of irrigation water salinity: 0.8; 1.6; 2.4; 3.2 and 4.0 dS m-1, in soil without and with bovine biofertilizer, in five replicates. The following variables were evaluated: growth (plant height, number of leaves, stem diameter, and leaf area), biomass (leaf, root and total dry matter) and gas exchanges (photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration). Irrigation water salinity reduced photosynthesis, stomatal conductance and transpiration, but with less intensity in the plants that received bovine biofertilizer. The aerobically fermented bovine biofertilizer attenuates saline stress on the initial growth and biomass of soybean plants.

ABSTRACT In order to evaluate the effect of irrigation water salinity in interaction with different potassium and calcium ratios applied through fertigation in eggplant, an experiment was carried out at the Department of Environmental and Technological Sciences of the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid Region, in Mossoró, RN, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The treatments were obtained by the combination between five ionic ratios of potassium and calcium (F1 = 4.2/1; F2 = 3.5/1; F3 = 2.8/1; F4 = 2.2/1; F5 = 1.8/1) and four levels of irrigation water salinity (S1 – 0.5; S2 – 2.0; S3 – 3.5; and S4 – 5.0 dS m-1). The following variables were evaluated: number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit fresh weight and yield. Yield, fruit length, fruit fresh weight and number of fruits decreased with the increase of salinity in all the treatments. Salinity significantly affected fruit diameter, which increased only under fertigation with potassium-rich solutions.

The objective was to evaluate growth and tolerance of bell pepper cultivars under salt stress in the seedling stage. The experiment was carried out in protected environment (greenhouse) at the Center of Sciences and Agrifood Technology (CCTA) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), located in the municipality of Pombal, Paraíba, from August to September 2014. Five bell pepper cultivars (C1 - Dulce All Big; C2 - All Big; C3 - Italiano Amarelo Gigante; C4 - Rubi Gigante; C5 - Casca Dura Ikeda) were evaluated at five levels of irrigation water salinity (0.6 (control); 1.2; 1.8, 2.4 and 3.0 dS m-1), arranged in 5 × 5 factorial scheme, in a completely randomized design, with four replicates. Bell pepper cultivars were grown on trays for 20 days after sowing, period in which they were evaluated for emergence, growth, phytomass accumulation and tolerance index. The increase in irrigation water salinity reduced bell pepper emergence, growth and dry matter accumulation, and the cultivars C2 - All Big and C4 - Rubi Gigante were the most tolerant to salinity in the initial growth stage. Tolerance to salinity occurred in the following order: C2 - All Big > C4 - Rubi Gigante > C1 - Dulce All Big = C5 - Casca Dura Ikeda > C3 - Italiano Amarelo Gigante.

Cherry Tomatoes

The increased demand of high quantity and quality of cherry tomatoes requires the application of a wide range of pre-harvest pesticides. The application of dozens of pre-harvest pesticides frequently results in multiple pesticide residues, to which the end consumer is exposed. Incorrect usage of these pesticides may result in hazardous food contamination and therefore, it is crucial to monitor pesticide residues in pre- and post-marketed agricultural commodities. Hence, the objectives of the present study were to characterize the distribution and residual levels of pre-harvest pesticides applied on cherry tomatoes, as a function of regulated storage conditions, irrigation water salinity levels, and tap water rinsing. The fruits were grown in a greenhouse and were designated for the local and international markets. The residual pesticide levels allowed us to perform a dietary risk assessment for the consumption of contaminated tomatoes. Tetraconazole was the only pesticide residue, exceeding the maximal residue limit (MRL) value of 50 µg/kg in the fruits after 5 days of storage time. Since tetraconazole was shown to potentially impair reproduction and fetal development, it is suggested that the last application of this pesticide would be restricted to not less than 56 days before harvest. The extent of pesticide peel penetrability as well as the pesticide distribution and residual levels in the peel and pulp were unaffected by the salinity level (electrical conductivity 1.5–3 ds/m) of the irrigation water. The most commonly applied household washing procedure for fruit and vegetables, using running tap water for 30 s, was ineffective in removing residual pesticides from the peel. Hence, more efficient washing procedures are required to improve consumers’ safety.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different irrigation water salinity level on chromosomes and shoots of wheat with three different ploidy level (diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid). Greenhouse experiment revealed that irrigation water salinity level had significant effects on shoot dry weight, root dry weight, shoot length and root length (P<0.05). The effects of ploidy level and cultivar shoot dry weight and root dry weight were also found to be significant (P<0.05), but the effects on shoot length and root length were not significant (P>0.05). Negative effects of salinity on shoot and root were started at 8 dS m-1. Also hexaploid wheat was more tolerant then tetraploid and diploid wheat to salinity. It was not determined that possible effects of irrigation water salinity to structure of chromosomes with current equipment and methods. Cell divisions were normal, but decreasing cell division rates were observed with increasing irrigation water salinity levels.

Irrigation Water Salinity

The carnauba (Copernicia prunifera [Miller] H. E. Moore) is a palm tree that has multiple uses and is of great economic and social importance for extractive families in Northeast Brazil. The objective of this work is to analyze the effect of saline water on the production of different progenies of carnauba. The experiment is arranged in a 5 x 36 factorial scheme in a randomized complete block design, with five replications and five plants per replication. The treatments consist of five levels of irrigation water salinity (with commercial NaCl levels, free of iodine: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mM) and 36 free-pollination progenies. The following characteristics are evaluated: foliar length (H), collecting diameter (DC), survival rate (TS), number of leaves (NF), dry shoot mass (MSPA), dry mass of the root system (MSSR), and dry mass ratio of the root system to the shoot. The results reveal similar behavior among the progenies for the evaluated characteristics. However, significance is observed for the parameters leaf length, collection diameter, and survival rate when the progenies are subjected to salinity above 9.6 dS m-1. Another significant factor is the accumulation of Na+ in the aerial and radicular parts in salinity levels of 7.1, 9.6, and 12.0 dS m-1, with the root system being the most affected site. Thus, the tested progenies exhibit similar behaviors in tolerance to irrigation water salinity. Since the carnauba can produce seedlings in water with electrical conductivity of up to 9.6 dS m-1, this species is characterized as a bioindicator of saline soils and is recommended for planting in degraded areas.
