FOLIAR FERTILIZATION WITH COMMERCIAL LIQUID FERTILIZER FOR IMPROVING GROWTH AND QUALITY OF SEASHORE PASPALUM TURF

Abstract. It is commonly presumed that organic agriculture causes only minimal environmental pollution. In this study, we measured the quality of percolating water in the vadose zone, underlying both organic and conventional intensive greenhouses. Our study was conducted in newly established farms where the subsurface underlying the greenhouses has been monitored continuously from their establishment. Surprisingly, intensive organic agriculture relying on solid organic matter, such as composted manure that is implemented in the soil prior to planting as the sole fertilizer, resulted in significant down-leaching of nitrate through the vadose zone to the groundwater. On the other hand, similar intensive agriculture that implemented liquid fertilizer through drip irrigation, as commonly practiced in conventional agriculture, resulted in much lower rates of pollution of the vadose zone and groundwater. It has been shown that accurate fertilization methods that distribute the fertilizers through the irrigation system, according to plant demand, during the growing season dramatically reduce the potential for groundwater contamination from both organic and conventional greenhouses.

Macro Nutrients

Liquid organic fertilizer is a solution from the fermentation of organic materials by involving microorganisms as a destructor of macromolecular compounds into minerals that are easily absorbed by plants. The quality of organic fertilizers is the main ingredient to get productive plants. The quality of organic fertilizer is determined by the concentration of macro nutrients such as nitrogen (N), potassium (K), and phosphorus. Getting high amounts of macronutrients fertilized organically is not easy. Macro-nutrients in organic waste with high concentrations are very difficult to obtain because each organic waste does not have all three macro-nutrients simultaneously. It takes a combination of organic waste to increase the concentration of macro nutrients in organic fertilizers. The combination of tofu whey with banana waste is one technique to obtain organic fertilizers that are high in phosphorus content. This study aims to obtain the effect and conditions of fermentation on the addition of mass of banana waste to produce optimum levels of phosphorus (P) in liquid fertilizer of tofu waste. The type of research used is pre-experimental research. The design of this study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors, namely the first factor was the mass of banana waste (X) (X1 = 250 grams, X2 = 500 grams, X3 = 750 grams) and the second factor was the fermentation time (Y) (Y1 = 14 days, Y2 = 28 days, Y3 = 42 days). Determination of phosphorus content using UV-Vis spectroscopy instrument. Parameters measured were phosphorus (P) levels in liquid organic fertilizer. The independent variables in this study were the mass of banana waste and fermentation time, while the dependent variable in this study was the phosphorus content of the liquid fertilizer produced. The results of the analysis show that the phosphorus content (P) produced is X1Y1 = 0.1%, X2Y1 = 0.5%, X3Y1 = 0.09%, X1Y2 = 0.5%, X2Y2 = 2%, X3Y2 = 1.9 %, X1Y3 = 0.2%, X2Y3 = 0.5% and X3Y3 = 0.5%. There is an effect with the addition of a mass of banana waste as much as 250 grams at a 12-day fermentation time. It can be concluded that the liquid fertilizer produced has exceeded the SNI quality standard.

Yield And Quality

The yield and quality of the sugar beet are mainly determined by level crop production system; therefore the effects of foliar fertilization were studied. Our field trials were carried out in 2005 and 2006 in Hajdúböszörmény, at two experimental sites. In our trials the effects of Biomit Plussz, Fitohorm and Kelcare Cu (having high Cu content) as foliar fertilizers, as well as a fungicide with high sulphur content, Cosavet DF, were studied andcompared. Effects of treatments were studied in four replicates. We took root samples at 4 week intervals, starting in August. The quality of root (sucrose, potassium, sodium and alfa-amino N content) was determined from filtrated beet broth, by an automatic beet laboratory system, called VENEMA. Leaf samples were taken three times in the growing season, element composition was measured by ICP-OES.We found that the crop and the sugar yield were significantly influenced by the foliar treatments both of the two years.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da adubação foliar com fósforo aplicada em diferentes estádios de desenvolvimento, na produtividade e no potencial fisiológico de sementes de soja cultivar M6410 IPRO recém-colhidas e após o armazenamento por 180 dias em condições controladas. Foi avaliada a influência do adubo foliar fosfatado nos seguintes estádios de desenvolvimento “V5, R2, R4, V5+R2, V5+R4, R2+R4 e V5+R2+R4” na dose de 2,0 l ha-1. A qualidade fisiológica das sementes foi avaliada por meio da germinação, primeira contagem, índice de velocidade de germinação e emergência, envelhecimento acelerado, teste de frio, emergência a campo, tetrazólio e desempenho de plântulas. Os componentes de produtividade de sementes de soja não foram influenciados pela aplicação de adubo foliar com fósforo nas diferentes fases fenológicas. A aplicação nos estádios V5 e V5+R2+R4 proporcionou sementes com elevada germinação e vigor, no entanto, o armazenamento por 180 dias mesmo sob condições controladas prejudica o potencial fisiológico das sementes.

PHYSIOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF SOYBEAN SEEDS PRODUCED WITH PHOSPHATE FOLIAR FERTILIZER ABSTRACT: Phosphorus is one of the most limiting macronutrients for soybean productivity, and it may influence the physiological quality of seeds. The focus of this study was to evaluate the effect of foliar fertilization with phosphorus used in different plant stages in productivity and physiological quality of soybean seeds cv. M6410 IPRO. The influence of foliar fertilization was measured in different plant stages of development “V5, R2, R4, V5+R2, V5+R4, R2+R4 e V5+R2+R4” and the dose was 2,0 l ha-1. The physiological quality of seeds was evaluated by germination, first score, rate of germination speed and emergence speed, field conditions emergence, tetrazolium test, seedlings performance, cold test and accelerated aging. The yield components of soybean seeds were not influenced by the period of foliar fertilization application with phosphorus. The application on V5 and V5+R2+R4 stages provided seeds with high germination and vigor. However, storage for 180 days even under controlled conditions reduced the seeds physiological potential.
