[email protected], [email protected]  1 RESUMO  O mogno africano vem se destacando no Brasil em plantios comercias, entretanto, ainda são escassas informações referentes às respostas desta planta ao ambiente, sobretudo, em termos de capacidade evapotranspirativa e necessidade hídrica. Assim, como um dos entraves para a produção vegetal é o déficit hídrico, uma alternativa seria irrigação no início do ciclo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o crescimento de plantas jovens de mogno irrigadas por microaspersão. O estudo foi realizado em Bonfinópolis-GO, nos dois primeiros anos em campo. As plantas foram implantadas com espaçamento 5x5m, em Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico, utilizando 1 emissor à cada 2 plantas. Utilizou-se o delineamento em blocos ao acaso, contendo nove tratamentos (vazões: 0, 20, 30, 35, 40, 50, 58, 70 e 90 Lh-1), com três repetições. Avaliaram-se o diâmetro de caule, o diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP), alturas de planta e de fuste. Observaram-se diferenças significativas (p>0,01) entre os tratamentos, ajustando-se equações lineares para todas variáveis. A altura média das plantas aos 2 meses de idade era 0,28m e aos 20 meses variou 2,75m sem irrigação a 3,72m irrigado. Inicialmente o fuste era de 0,25m e ao final variou de 0,53m sem irrigação a 0,94m irrigado. Diâmetros de caule, dos 2 aos 16 meses de idade, variaram de 0,79 a 5,9cm sem irrigação e a 6,5cm irrigado. E dos 16 aos 20 meses o DAP variou de 2,6 a 3,7cm sem irrigação e 4,6 a 5,8cm irrigando. As maiores médias para todas as variáveis analisadas foram obtidas com a aplicação de 90Lh-1. Palavras-chave: Khaya ivorensis; déficit hídrico; madeira nobre; irrigação localizada; manejo da água.  ALVES JÚNIOR. J.; BARBOSA, L. H. A; CASAROLI, D.1; EVANGELISTA,  A. W. P. COSTA, F. R.GROWTH OF MAHOGANY AFRICAN YOUNG TREES SUBMITED TO DIFFERENT MICROSPRINKLER IRRIGATION LEVELS  2 ABSTRACT African mahogany is a tree species that has been increasing in Brazil in commercial forest. However, there is still scarce information about the responses of  this species to environment, especially in evapotranspiration and water requirement. Thus, as one of the barriers for crop production is water deficit, an alternative would be the irrigation in the beginning of the cycle in field. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth of mahogany young trees irrigated by microsprinkler. The study was conducted in Bonfinópolis-GO, Brazil, the first two years in the field. The plants were implanted with 5x5m spacing in Oxisol using 1 emitter to each 2 plants. The design was used in a randomized block design, with nine treatments (flow rates: 0, 20, 30, 35, 40, 50, 58, 70 and 90Lh-1), with three replications. We evaluated the stem diameter, the diameter at breast height (DAP), plant height and stem. There were significant differences (p> 0.01) between treatments, adjusting linear equations for all variables. The average plant height at 2 months of age was 0.28m and at 20 months ranged from 2.75m without irrigation to 3.72m irrigated. Initially the stem was 0.25 m and by the end it ranged from 0.53m without irrigation to 0.94m irrigated. Stem diameters, from 2 to 16 months old, ranged from 0.79 to 5.9 cm without irrigation and 6.5cm irrigated. And from 16 to 20 months DAP ranged from 2.6 to 3.7cm without irrigation and 4.6 to 5.8 cm irrigated. The best tree growth was obtained by applying 90Lh-1. Keywords: Khaya ivorensis; drougth; hardwoods; trickle irrigation; water management

Potatoes (Solanum tuberesum, L) are one of the main foods for the needs of the world community. Therefore, increasing potato crop production is considered important. For this purpose, the utilization of a mixture of rice husk biochar with compost can provide the best results up to three times the planting season. Coffee skin can also be found in form of compost for the utilization process. However, due to the lack of farmer’s knowledge about the benefits that can be provided by skin compost to maintain the level of soil fertility. This study aims to analys the effect of biochar and coffee skin compost on the growth and yield of potato crops. Plant height, number of shoots, number of tubers per clump, and per plot tuber weight was a parameter of observation. This experiment used a factorial randomized planting block design using several doses of biochar and coffee skin compost.  The treatment of biochar dosage did not significantly affect all parameters observed. The treatment of the effect of doses of coffee skin compost had a very significant effect on plant height at all ages of observation. The average plant height increases with the higher doses of red coffee skin compost given has a very significant effect on the number of tubers per clump and the weight of per plot tubers. There was no real interaction between the biochar dose and the red coffee skin compost dosage against all observed parameters.

The Impact

Exposure of bulbs to cold, a physiological phenomenon called vernalization, and bulb size are important factors in the production of lily bulbs and flowers. This study aimed to verify the influence of vernalization of bulbs on flowering cut lily plants, as well as the impact of size and shape of harvest on the production and quality of flowers and bulbs. In turn, the way the stems of the plants used for cut-flower production are cropped is of higher importance for the production of new flower bulbs. In this sense, the experiment was conducted in Viçosa, MG, in a greenhouse in a randomized block design, in split splot scheme with three replications, in which the vernalization periods (25, 35 and 45 days at 4 ± 1 C) constituted the plots; bulb sizes (diameters of 3.2-3.8 cm; 2.5-3.2 cm 1.9- and 2.5 cm), subplots and ways to harvest (full harvest of the stem at the required length for the commercial harvest of the flower, commercial stem harvest at the commercial length, maintaining 10cm of stem in the soil; removal of the floral buds as soon as their appearance is observed and harvest at the end of the season), the sub subplots. The bulbs were planted in beds, with 15 x 20 cm spacing. It was evaluated the number of plants that flowered and the number of flowers, the length and the diameter of the floral buds, fresh and dry weights, diameter and plant height as well as number, perimeter and amount of fresh and dry bulbs. There was a decrease in the plant height with the increase of the vernalization period and a reduction of the diameter of the planted bulbs, as well as of the number and the fresh and dry weights of the produced buds. The production of flowers and buds in number, size and weight was directly proportional to the size of the planted bulbs, while the form of harvest with removal of flower buds increased the number, the perimeter and the fresh and dry weights of the buds. Bulbs with diameter between 3.2 - 3.8 cm, stored for 25 days in cold chamber enable greater production of flowers and the highest stem height, factors that favor the increase in market value.

ABSTRACT The objective was to evaluate the effect of different spacings and mineral fertilizations on cactus pear growth and production in a randomized block design, with three replicates, in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme: three spacings, 1.00 x 0.50 m, 2.00 x 0.25 m and 3.00 x 1.00 x 0.25 m, and four fertilizations, 000-000-000, 000-150-000, 200-150-000 and 200-150-100 kg ha-1 of N, P2O5 and K2O, respectively. Plant growth was evaluated between 90 and 390 days and production and growth were evaluated at 620 days after planting. There were significant interactions between spacing and fertilization for plant height, number of cladodes and cladode area index from 90 to 390 days and for production of fresh and dry matter at 620 days after planting. Spacing influenced cladode area index, while fertilization influenced plant height, number of cladodes and cladode area index at 620 days after planting. Plant height showed cubic effect for the days after planting. Number of cladodes and cladode area index were dependent on spacing, fertilization and plant age, and fitted to cubic models. The best results of growth and production of fresh and dry matter are associated with NPK and NP fertilizations and the spacing of 1.00 x 0.50 m.
