O delineamento experimental foi o completamente ao acaso, composto por cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições de quatro mudas cada. Os tratamentos foram as lâminas de irrigação estimadas com cinco percentuais da capacidade de retenção de água (CRA) do substrato: 50; 75; 100; 125; e 150% da CRA. As mudas foram cultivadas individualmente em vasos de 415 mL contendo o substrato comercial HS Flores®. Durante a aclimatização, as mudas foram irrigadas duas vezes ao dia e receberam adubações foliares em dias alternados. Foram analisadas as variáveis: incremento na altura da muda (IAM); incremento no número de folhas por muda (INF); incremento na área da maior folha (IAMF); ocupação de vaso (OV); taxa de fotossíntese líquida (A); carbono interno (Ci); e temperatura (Ti) e umidade (Ui) foliar. Com base nos resultados, supõe-se que as mudas de A. maricense possam apresentar evidência de resistência ao déficit hídrico. A lâmina de irrigação estimada com 150% da CRA proporciona o maior valor de IAMF. Lâminas de irrigação intermediárias, entre 100 e 125% da CRA, proporcionam os maiores valores de IAM, INF e OV.   Palavras-chave: antúrio, plantas ornamentais, manejo da irrigação.     CAMPOS, A.

ACLIMATIZATION OF MICROPROPAGATE PLANTLETS OF Anthurium maricense WITH DIFFERENT IRRIGATION DEPHTS     2 ABSTRACT   The aim of this study was to evaluate the development of micropropagated plantlets of Anthurium maricense during the acclimatization phase in screen environment, under different irrigation depths based on percentages of water retention capacity (WRC), on the weather conditions in the greenhouse environment. The experimental design was completely randomized, composed of five irrigation depths, with four replicates and four plantlets per plot. The treatments consisted of irrigation depths estimated with five levels of water retention capacity (WRC) of the substrate: 50; 75; 100; 125; and 150% of WRC. The plantlets were cultivated in 415 mL pots with HS Flowers® substrate. During the acclimatization, all plantlets were irrigated twice a day and fertilized, on alternate days, with leaf fertilization. The variables analyzed were: plant height increment (PHI); number of leaves increment (NLI); largest leaf area increment (LLAI); pot occupation (PO); net photosynthetic rate (A); internal carbon (Ci); leaf temperature (Ti) and leaf moisture (Ui). Based on the results obtained, it is assumed that A. maricense micropropagated plantlets may present evidence of resistance to water deficit. The estimated irrigation depth of 150% of WRC provides the highest value of LLAV. Intermediate irrigation depth, between 100 and 125% of the WRC, provide the highest values of PHV, NLV and PO.   Keywords: anthurium, ornamental plant, irrigation management.

ABSTRACT Despite its importance in the floriculture sector, irrigation management of kalanchoe is characterized by empiricism, being necessary further studies on the use of water by this crop. Thus, the objective of this study is to analyze the several effects of irrigation levels on the growth of kalanchoe crop conducted in greenhouse in the municipality of Alegrete, state of Rio Grande do Sul. The experiment was conducted in a 7 x 15 m protected environment. The experimental design was completely randomized, with four treatments (irrigation levels corresponding to 40, 60, 80 and 100% of the pot water retention capacity - PC) and four repetitions, totaling sixteen plots. The crop cycle was 224 days after transplanting and the applied average depths were: 451.82; 367.38; 282.94; 198.51 mm for treatments: 100; 80; 60 and 40% of PC, respectively. Canopy area and number of leaves per plant were evaluated over the crop cycle. In the end of the cycle, the canopy diameter, number of inflorescences per plant and the number of flowers per plant were evaluated. No significant differences were found only to the canopy area, by the F test. Irrigation water depths between 40 and 70% of the pot capacity were more appropriate for the crop growth in the study region. The cultivar presented the best development at irrigation levels below the maximum vessel water retention capacity, that is, it is resistant to drought.

The use of quality seedlings of eggplant is directly related to the success of their production, with polymers added to the substrate, which work as water conditioners, increase the water retention capacity, and provide better seedling quality. The study aimed to evaluate the use of nanocomposite hydrogel enriched with different proportions of N-urea in the production of eggplant seedlings. The experiment was conducted at the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Cassilândia, MS, Brazil, from June to August 2019, under sombrite® 30%. Five treatments were evaluated, using the commercial substrate, Carolina Soil®: 1) commercial substrate without hydrogel; 2) commercial substrate with 0.075g of pure hydrogel (0.00g of N-urea)/15 mL of a substrate; 3) commercial substrate with 0.075g of hydrogel and 10% N-urea/15 mL of a substrate; 4) commercial substrate with 0.075g of hydrogel and 20% N-urea/15 mL of a substrate, and 5) commercial substrate with 0.075g of hydrogel and 40% N-urea/15 mL of a substrate. The experiment was conducted with four replications of 25 seedlings. The emergence speed index, percentage of emergence, height, number of leaves, stem diameter, shoot dry matter, root dry matter, and total dry matter were evaluated, as well as the Dickson Quality Index. The data were subjected to analysis of variance (SPEEDSTAT statistical software) and grouping test of means. A regression analysis was performed to adjust equations for some of the variables. The best seedlings can be obtained using the dosage of 28.83% N-urea with 0.075g of hydrogel per 15 ml of the substrate, according to the DQI adjustment, which includes several traits of the seedlings, thus reflecting on its quality.

The biochar obtained from pyrolysis of vegetable biomass gives the plant a good nutritional supply and has a high water retention capacity, however there are still few studies evaluating its use in the production of leafy vegetable seedlings. With that, the objective of this work was to determine proportions of biochar in sand that allow better development of rocket seedlings. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid (UFERSA). The experimental design used was completely randomized with six treatments (0; 10; 20; 30; 40; 50% of biochar) and ten replications. The evaluated characteristics were: Twinning; Number of leaves per plant; Root length; Plant height; Neck diameter; Fresh and dry mass of plants and water content in the plant. The data were submitted to analysis of variance. The procedure for adjusting the response curves was performed using the R software. The 50% biochar proportion is recommended in the production of arugula seedlings as it provides better development in the plants, promoting significant improvements in all the characteristics analyzed, except germination and number of leaves per plant.

The objective of this study was to evaluate, from a technological and nutritional point of view, the chemical composition and functional properties of the industrial winemaking by-products, namely skins, stems and lees. The chemical and physical characteristics, as well as the functional properties (fat and water retention and swelling capacity, antioxidant capacity, and their prebiotic effect), of the dietary fibre of these by-products were studied. The results showed that the skins, stems, and lees are rich in fibre, with the stem fibre containing the highest amounts of non-extractable polyphenols attached to polysaccharides with high antioxidant activity and prebiotic effect. Lee fibre had the highest water retention capacity and oil retention capacity. The results reveal that winemaking by-products could be used as a source of dietary fibre with functional characteristics for food applications.

The diversity, abundance and frequency of vascular epiphytes on the lower trunk were compared between two host groups of a Mexican cloud forest: angiosperm trees (n = 72) and tree ferns (n = 28). The bark of the five most frequent host trees and the root mantle of the two tree ferns were analysed for their thickness, water content, water retention capacity and pH. A total of 55 epiphyte species and 910 individuals were found on the 27 host species. On hosts with a dbh range of 5–10 cm, epiphytes were significantly more diverse (4.3±0.9 species per host) and more abundant (12.5±2.2 individuals per host) on tree ferns than on angiosperm trees (1.9±0.2 species per host and 3.9±0.6 individuals per host). However, these differences were not significant for the dbh class of 10–20 cm, because epiphyte numbers increased on angiosperm trees with larger host size, but not in tree ferns. Most epiphyte species had no preference for any host group, but four species were significantly more frequent on tree ferns and two species on angiosperm trees. The higher epiphyte diversity and abundance on tree fern trunks of the smallest dbh class is attributed to their presumably greater age and to two stem characteristics, which differed significantly between host groups, the thicker root mantle and higher water retention capacity of tree ferns. These bark characteristics may favour germination and establishment of epiphytes.

The aim of the present research was to determine the effect of boiling on nutritional composition, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity, physicochemical and morphological characteristics of two edible plants Malva parviflora (mallow leaf) and Myrtillocactus geometrizans (garambullo flower). The plants had an important nutritional composition as carbohydrates (48-70 %), dietary fiber (36-42 %) and protein (13 %), as well as total phenolic compounds (468-750 mg GAE/100 g db) with a high antioxidant capacity. However, boiling originated the decrease of soluble compounds, carbohydrates, total phenolic compounds, antioxidant capacity and physicochemical properties. Plants changed to dark colors and physicochemical properties were affected, except to water retention capacity, oil retention capacity and viscosity, which had the same values in mallow leaves (raw and boiled), but increased water retention capacity in garambullo flowers, it may be by changes in the morphology observed. Therefore, is to suggest the raw consumption or with minimal cooking of these plants to avoid changes caused by thermal treatment.

In this study, quality of Man-tou, the Chinese traditional steamed bread during storage was studied. Values for water retention capacity, total water solubles, soluble starch, and soluble amylose and amylopectin of Man-tou decreased with storage time. Results showed that hardness, chewiness and gumminess of Man-tou increased, while, springiness cohesiveness and resilience decreased along with prolonged storage time (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation results showed that all sensory rating of Man-tou, including softness, stickiness, cohesiveness, elasticity, taste and total score, dropped drastically within 24 h of storage time (p<0.05). Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) was used to determine crystalline structure of amylopectin in Man-tou, and the value for enthalpy of crystallization was found increased with storage time. Amylopectin crystallization was significantly associated to Man-tou firming (p<0.01).

ABSTRACT The population increase and the need of intensifying food production, coupled with the scarcity of water resources, have led to the search of alternatives that reduce consumption and optimize the water use during cultivation. In this context, hydrogels become a strategy in agricultural management, due to their water retention capacity in the soil and availability to plants. This study aimed at evaluating the efficiency of hydrogels on the development and production of cowpea bean ('Sempre-verde' cultivar) under water stress, in a greenhouse. The experiment was performed in a randomized block design, with five replications, in a 4 x 5 factorial scheme, consisting of four types of hydrogel (Hydroplan-EB HyA, with granulometry of 1-3 mm; Hydroplan-EB HyB, with granulometry of 0.5-1 mm; Hydroplan-EB HyC, with granulometry < 0.5 mm; Polim-Agri, with granulometry of 1-0.5 mm) and five concentrations (0 g pot-1; 1.5 g pot-1; 3 g pot-1; 4.5 g pot-1; 6 g pot-1). The following traits were evaluated: number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod and grain yield. The highest concentration (6 g pot-1) resulted in a higher number of pods and yield for all the hydrogels, especially for HyC and Polim-Agro, which presented 7.4 pods plant-1 and 7.0 pods plant-1, with yield of 15.43 g plant-1 and 16.68 g plant-1, respectively. The use of hydrogel shows to be efficient for reducing yield losses under water stress.
