CARACTERÍSTICAS FITOTÉCNICAS E NUTRICIONAIS DE BANANEIRAS SUBMETIDAS A FONTES DE FERTILIZANTES PARA O MANEJO ORGÂNICO

Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o estado nutricional e características agronômicas de bananeiras tipo prata sob adubação orgânica, no quarto ciclo de produção, em solos de elevada fertilidade construída. Os tratamentos, duas cultivares (Prata-Anã e BRS Platina) e cinco doses de adubação compostas por esterco bovino e farinha de rocha Naturalplus® foram dispostos em esquema fatorial 2 x 5, em delineamento em blocos casualizados, com três repetições. Foram avaliados: os teores de nutrientes nas folhas; altura de plantas; perímetro do pseudocaule; número de folhas; massa do cacho (kg) e pencas (kg); massa média das pencas (kg) e fruto (g) e massa das cinco primeiras pencas (kg); número de pencas; número de frutos por cacho e penca; massa (g), diâmetro (mm) e comprimento interno e externo do fruto (cm). Doses crescentes de K2O incrementam os teores de N, P e Cu para cultivares Prata-Anã e BRS Platina, que diferem entre si quanto aos teores de Fe, Zn e S. A ‘Prata-Anã’ se destaca com número de folhas e frutos por penca, enquanto a ‘BRS Platina’ maior massa média das pencas e do fruto e comprimento do fruto. As doses aplicadas não influenciam a produção das cultivares BRS Platina e Prata-Anã no quarto ciclo em solos de elevada fertilidade construída.Palavras chave: farinha de rocha; esterco bovino; sustentabilidade. PHYTOTECHNICAL AND NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BANANA SUBMITTED TO FERTILIZER SOURCES FOR ORGANIC MANAGEMENT ABSTRACT:The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional status and agronomic characteristics of silver - type banana under organic fertilization, in the fourth cycle of production, in soils with high fertility. The treatments, two cultivars (Prata-Anã and BRS Platina) and five fertilizer doses composed of bovine manure and Naturalplus® rock flour were arranged in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, in a randomized block design, with three replications. Leaf nutrient contents were evaluated; plant height; perimeter of the pseudostem; number of leaves; mass of the bunch (kg) and hands (kg); average mass of the hands (kg) and fruit (g) and mass of the first five hands (kg); number of leaves; number of fruits per bunch and hands; mass (g), diameter (mm) and internal and external length of the fruit (cm). Increasing doses of K2O increases N, P and Cu contents for Prata-Anã and BRS Platina cultivars, which differ in Fe content, Zn and S. The ‘Prata-Anã’ stands out with the highest number of leaves and fruits per hands, whereas the 'BRS Platina' presents higher average mass of the fruit and the length of the fruit. The applied doses do not influence the production of the cultivars BRS Platina and Prata-Anã in the fourth cycle in soils with high constructed fertility.Keywords: rock dust; bovine manure; sustainability.

ABSTRACT Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench, is a vegetable with annual fruit native to hot regions of Africa, well adapted to the conditions of the Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil, where it is widely used by small farmers. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of mineral and organic fertilization on the production and quality of okra fruits. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design, with three replicates and eleven treatments defined according to a Baconian matrix. Treatments consisted of doses of N (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1), P (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg ha-1) and K (0, 80, 160 and 240 kg ha-1), as well as absence and presence of organic compost (30 t ha-1). The following parameters were evaluated: plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, production of fruits plant-1, number of fruits plant-1, fruit length and diameter and fruit quality (pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, vitamin C and electrical conductivity). The crop is demanding in terms of K and N fertilizations, with increments of 15.8 and 36% in the mean number and diameter of fruits, respectively. Organic fertilization did not influence the vegetative growth of okra, but was beneficial to the production of fruits with higher vitamin C content, 52% higher than the contents found in fruits produced without such input.

The aim of this study was to obtain information for the genetic improvement of kale through repeatability and phenotypic stabilization studies and to compare methodologies that represent the reliability of the estimated parameters. Thirty-three half-sib progenies were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replicates and six plants per plot. Eight harvests were evaluated in terms of the yield of fresh leaves, number of shoots, number of leaves and average mass of leaves. Then, a phenotypic repeatability and stabilization study was performed, estimating the genetic parameters σ2a, σ²g, σ²e, and the coefficient of environmental variation and repeatability using the frequentist and Bayesian methodologies. To evaluate the reliability of these estimates, intervals were obtained using the frequentist, Bayesian and bootstrap methods. It was verified that the reliable selection of progenies of half-sib of kale can be achieved in four harvests that were realized between 95 and 170 days after planting. It was observed that the frequentist and Bayesian methodologies are better suited to obtain reliable estimates of the genetic parameters evaluated, as the last one provided smaller amplitudes for the obtained intervals. The bootstrap methodologies are not recommended for phenotypic repeatability and stabilization studies in kale.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is a leafy vegetable that could be grown under mineral or organic fertilizing, being also very influenced by environmental conditions. This study evaluated the growth and yield of lettuce cultivars submitted to different doses of organic fertilization and environmental conditions. The experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Sector of the Campus Cinobelina Elvas, at the Federal University of Piauí (CPCE/UFPI), Brazil. The experimental was carried out in a completely randomized block design, with the treatments distributed in split-split-plot, according to cultivation systems in the plots (with 50% of shading and outdoor cultivation), organic fertilization rates in subplots (0, 20, 40, 60 and 80 t ha-1) and lettuce cultivars in the sub-subplots (‘Delícia’, ‘Babá de Verão’ and ‘Itapuã 401’) with three repetitions and with eighteen plants per experimental unity and four useful plants per plot. Plant height, number of leaves, head circumference, stem length, leaf area, leaves chlorophyll content, commercial fresh mass, shoot dry matter and lettuce yield were evaluated. For the conditions in which the present study was carried out, the use of doses of organic fertilization with cattle manure influenced lettuce growth and yield using 50% of shading and is also suggested the use of the cultivars ‘Delícia’ and ‘Babá de Verão’, in a protected environment (50% of shade).

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to establish DRIS norms for evaluation of nutritional status of cactos pear of the Gigante cultivar grown under organic fertilization in semiarid conditions. Cladode macro and micronutrient contents and dry matter yield of 72 plots were evaluated. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three replicates, using a 4×3×2 factorial arrangement consisted of four bovine manure rates (0, 30, 60, and 90 Mg ha-1 ano-1), three spacings (1.00×0.50, 2.00×0.25, and 3.00×1.00×0.25 m), and two production cycles (600 and 930 days). The data were separated into high-yield population (HYP) and low-yield population (LYP), above and below 19.93 Mg ha-1 cycle-1, respectively. The mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, variances, and variance ratios of all bivariate relations between nutrients were calculated for the establishment of DRIS norms, considering the direct (A/B) and reverse (B/A) form. The selection of direct and reverse relations between nutrients to compose the DRIS norms was based on the variance ratio between LYP and HYP (S2b/S2 a). The sixty-six relations between cladode nutrient contents that presented the higher ratios between the variances in the LYP and HYP (S2b/S2a) were chosen. The DRIS norms established make viable the use of leaf diagnosis as an evaluation method of nutritional status of cactos pear of the Gigante cultivar grown under organic fertilization in semiarid conditions.

Nutrient Solutions

Empiricism in the use of nutrient solutions is frequent. Several times the same nutrient solution is used to grow different species based only on morphological similarities. This practice may lead to nutritional imbalances, affecting not only the production but also the quality of the product due to an accumulation of nitrate. An experiment under hydroponic conditions - the NFT system - was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effect of the concentration of nitrogen in the nutrient solution on the production and on the nutrient and nitrate contents of rocket (Eruca sativa) salad leaves. The experiment was carried out in spring 2003, in a randomized block design and in a 4 x 3 factorial design, with four replicates. Four nitrogen concentrations in the nutrient solution (60.8; 121.6; 182.5; 243.5 mg L-1) and three rocket salad cultivars (Cultivada, Folha Larga and Selvática) were evaluated. Cv. Cultivada produced the tallest plants and the highest leaf fresh fitomass, not differing from cv. 'Folha Larga' in the number of leaves, leaf nitrate content, root dry fitomass and root fresh fitomass. An increment in NO3, N, Ca and P and a reduction in Mg, K and S occurred when the concentration of N in the nutrient solution was increased. Cultivation of cv. Cultivada at the concentration of 93 mg L-1 is the most recommended as it provides the highest yield and low nitrate content.

Os consórcios feitos de forma adequada podem resultar em inúmeros benefícios ao agroecossistema e ao produtor. O objetivo foi avaliar aspectos fitotécnicos do rabanete e alface cultivados em consórcio no oeste goiano. Foram testados 4 consórcios (com 8 plantas de alface e 20, 40, 60 e 80 plantas de rabanete, respectivamente, C I, C II, C III e C IV) em relação ao monocultivo de alface (16 plantas) e de rabanete (80 plantas) por metro quadrado. O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Avaliou o diâmetro, comprimento e massa média das raízes do rabanete; o diâmetro médio do coleto, número de folhas e massa média da parte aérea das plantas de alface e a produtividade de ambas as culturas. Calculou-se o índice de equivalência de área (IEA). O consórcio não afetou o tamanho e peso médio das raízes do rabanete, entretanto, a produtividade do C I (0,46 kg.m-2) foi inferior ao C III (1,97 kg.m-2), C IV (2,25 kg.m-2) e ao monocultivo (2,05 kg.m-2). Para a cultura da alface, houve diferença estatística apenas na produtividade, que foi maior no sistema em monocultivo (2,84 kg.m-2). Somente o consórcio II (0,82) apresentou IEA inferior ao monocultivo (1,0). Os consórcios apresentam potencial de uso pelos horticultores da região.Agronomic performance of intercropping between radish and lettuce in West goianoAbstract: Intercropping properly executed can result in many benefits to the agroecosystem and the farmer. The aim was to evaluate phytotechnical aspects of radish and lettuce intercropped in West Goiás. Four intercropping systems (with 8 lettuce plants and 20, 40, 60 and 80 radish plants, respectively, C I, C II, C III and C IV) were compared to the lettuce monoculture (16 plants) and radish (80 plants) by square meter. The design was a randomized block design with four replications. The diameter, length and average mass of radish roots; the average stem diameter, number of leaves and average mass of the aerial part of lettuce plants and the productivity of both cultures were evaluated. We calculated the land equivalent ratio (IEA). The consortium did not affect the size and average weight of radish roots, however, the C I productivity (0.46 kg.m-2) was lower than C III (1.97 kg.m-2), C IV (2.25 kg.m-2) and monoculture (2.05 kg.m-2). To lettuce crop, there was statistical difference only in productivity, which was higher in the system in monoculture (2.84 kg.m-2). Only the consortium II (0.82) had less IEA than the monoculture (1.0). The consortiums have a potential use by horticulturists in this region.

In some countries of Central America, Moringa spp is considered as the tree of life because of its nutritional properties and its plasticity. In some of them, research is held to take advantage of Moringa spp foraging and nutritional properties regarding plant age, to be used for animal feed. This study aims to evaluate the effect of cutoff frequency on forage yield of Moringa oleifera, cultivar Criolla. The study was carried out in January and December 2012, in a Fluvisol soil of Cauto Valley under irrigation conditions and organic fertilization. A randomized block design with four replications was used and the variables considered were, plant height, number and thickness of shoots, number of leaves, leaf/stem ratio, total dry matter yield (DM), and leaf dry matter to explain the response of cutting at 45 and 60days. All the analyzed variables were significantly affected (p≤0.05) by cutoff frequency. The highest (p≤0,05) yield ofleaf dry matter , stems, and total were obtained when cutting at 60 days with 7.3, 11.8, and 18.4 t MS/ha respectively.It is concluded that cutting frequency modified the productive behavior of cultivars under study.

ABSTRACT Non-conventional leafy vegetables can be a good source of nutrients for the human diet, but there is little information on fertilization for these species. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of organic fertilization with cattle manure on the production and chemical composition of non-conventional leafy vegetables. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in pots. The factors under study were non-conventional leafy species (Rumex acetosa, Stachys byzantina and Lactuca canadensis) and cattle manure doses (0; 5; 10; 15; and 20 t ha-1), arranged in a 3 x 5 factorial scheme, in a randomized block design, with four replications. At harvest, the following parameters were evaluated: stem diameter; total number of leaves; number of leaves with commercial standard; shoot fresh and dry matter; macro and micronutrients concentration and accumulated amounts in the shoot. The fertilization with cattle manure altered the stem diameter, number of leaves with commercial standard, shoot fresh and dry matter, as well as the accumulation of the nutrients N, P, K, Ca, Fe, Mn and Zn in the shoot of the three species studied. The additions obtained varied from 1.1 to 2.1 times, in relation to the treatment without organic fertilization, and the dose equivalent to 20 t ha-1 was the most adequate one. The organic fertilization with cattle manure increases the production and accumulation of nutrients in the non-conventional vegetables evaluated, with R. acetosa presenting a nutrient accumulation higher than S. byzantina and L. canadensis.
