The reaction of tomato plants cv. Tukan F<sub>1</sub> to copper deficiency and to water stress was compared. Plants grown in copper deficiency and in conditions of water stress were significantly smaller than controls. They had also lower turgor. The epidermis cells of the upper side leaf in the plants growing in copper deficiency or water stress conditions were smaller than in control plants. However the stomata and trichomes number of leaves plants with copper or water deficiency grown were bigger in comparision with control. The pores of stomata were always larger in leaves of control plants than in other objects.

Background: Plant strategies for adapting to drought could be improved by associations between plant roots and soil microorganisms, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). In this study, the impact of a selected AMF complex and a selected PGPR species on the growth of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.) under induced water stress was evaluated. Methods: Three different inoculation treatments were applied to tomato seedlings (a complex of AMF composed mainly of Glomus genus a Bacillus sp. PGPR treatment and a combination of both) and three different water levels (75%, 50% and 25% of field capacity). Result: A significant damaging impact of drought on tomato growth parameters and root mycorrhizal colonization, although the presence of microbes stimulated tomato plants growth and decreased the impact ofdrought stress. Indeed inoculated plants presented greater heights, fresh and dry weights, leaves number and area; greater water status; and greater proteins, sugars and chlorophylls contents either with the AMF complex or the Bacillus sp. in normal and drought stress conditions compared to the non-inoculated plants. However dual inoculation recorded the highest values under all water levels treatments.

Water deficit is one of the major factors limiting the production of sugarcane, especially in areas where there is a prolonged period of water deficiency, such as the West Central Brazilian region. One way to overcome this problem is to cultivate resistant or tolerant varieties. An experiment was set up at the Jalles Machado Sugar Mill, located near Goianésia, Goiás State, Brazil, to evaluate agronomic performance of several sugarcane families. A comparative analysis was carried out among the families under two irrigation regimes, one under regular environmental conditions and another under monthly irrigations during the period of water deficiency. Evaluated families consisted of 25 progenies planted in a factorial design with three replications with 20 plants each. The first ratoon crop was evaluated for four yield components, stalk height, stalk diameter, stalk number and Brix. By analysis of variance, stalk number and stalk height were influenced by water stress conditions during the initial growth phase, and for stalk diameter and Brix, water regime had no effect on the average expression of the characters during the growth phase. The method of classification in four categories proved to be adequate. Some families had high values for stalk diameter, stalk number and stalk height under water stress conditions. This study showed that it is possible to select sugarcane families under water deficit conditions associated with higher stalk diameter, stalk number and stalk height.

Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o efeito da adubação silicatada em híbrido de Tomate cv. Dominador, submetidas a estresse hídrico. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com uma testemunha e cinco concentrações de silicato de potássio (0 mL.L-1; 25 mL.L-1; 50 mL.L-1; 75 mL.L-1; e 100 mL.L-1 de K2SiO3) via aplicação foliar, e 10 repetições, as plantas eram irrigadas com base em 60 % da ETo. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância (F ≤ 0,05), e as médias submetidas ao teste de Tukey (P ≤ 0,05). As variáveis analisadas foram: alturas de plantas (AP); diâmetro do caule (DC); número de folhas (NF) e teor de clorofila (TC). As variáveis DC, NF e TC não divergiram entre os tratamentos. A aplicação de Silicato de Potássio em plantas de tomate apresentou resultado positivo para reduzir o efeito do estresse hídrico no crescimento das plantas. Assim pode-se admitir que este elemento atua de forma benéfica para o desenvolvimento da planta, minimizando os efeitos do estresse.

UCHÔA EFFECT OF SILICON FERTILIZING IN TOMATO CULTIVATION UNDER WATER STRESS     2 ABSTRACT   The use of silicon has shown promising results in agriculture, however, its effectiveness in minimizing the effects of stress needs to be studied. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of silicate fertilization on tomato hybrid cv. Dominator, submitted to water stress. The experimental design was a completely randomized design, with one control and five concentrations of potassium silicate (0 mL.L-1, 25 mL.L-1, 50 mL.L-1, 75 mL.L-1, and 100 mL.L-1 of K2SiO3) via foliar application, and 10 replicates, the plants were irrigated based on 60% of Eto. The results were submitted to analysis of variance (F ≤ 0.05), and the means submitted to the Tukey test (P ≤ 0.05). The analyzed variables were: plant heights (AP); stem diameter (DC); number of leaves (NF) and chlorophyll content (TC). The variables DC, NF and TC did not diverge between treatments. The application of Potassium Silicate in tomato plants presented positive results to reduce the effect of water stress on plant growth. Thus, it can be accepted that this element acts in a beneficial way for the development of the plant and minimizing the effects of stress.   Keywords: Irrigation, Lycopersicum esculentum, silicon.

Ehretia asperula’s physiological responses to growth performance following oak-wood biochar application under water stress conditions (WSC) and no water stress conditions (non-WSC) were investigated in a pot experiment. Biochar (WB) was incorporated into the soil at concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 tons ha−1 before transplanting Ehretia asperula in the pots. One month after transplanting, Ehretia asperula plants were put under water stress by withholding water for ten days. Water stress significantly decreased the growth and physiology of Ehretia asperula. Under WSC, the application of WB at the concentrations of 15 and 20 tons ha−1 to the soil increased the plant height; number of leaves; fresh and dry weight of the roots, shoots, and leaves; Fv/Fm; chlorophyll content; leaf relative water content; and soil moisture as well as decreased the relative ion leakage. The application of WB enhanced drought tolerance in Ehretia asperula plants by lowering the wilting point. The findings suggest that WB application at the concentration of 15 tons ha−1 could be recommended for ensuring the best physiological responses and highest growth of Ehretia asperula plants.
