This study aimed to analyze the influence of inoculation methods with Azospirillum brasilense in morphometric and nutritional parameters of the maize crop. Maize plants, hybrid Formula VT®, were grown under different forms of inoculation: absence of inoculation; seed inoculation; leaf inoculation; seed inoculation associated to leaf inoculation. In the phenological stages V8 and VT the parameters number of leaves, aerial height, root volume, stem diameter, besides the leaves, stem, sheath, root and total dry mass and the leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were determined. In the R6 stage, in addition to the previous evaluations the following parameters were determined: ear diameter and length, number of kernel rows, number of kernels per row, the reproductive structure and thousand grains dry mass, and total number of grains, besides the grain’s content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The SPAD index from the leave’s apex, medial and basal thirds was measured fortnightly. The inoculation methods with A. brasilense had little influence in maize’s morphometric and nutritional parameters, also not influencing in production. Maize plants inoculated with A. brasilense, via seed and via seed associated to leaf spraying, positively stood out for the stem diameter, leaves dry mas, root volume, and for the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium leaf content.

The aim was to evaluate the initial development of maize plants when submitted to mineral fertilization with magnesium sources in the presence or absence of seed inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense. To do so, was conducted an experiment in greenhouse. In the essay was adopted a randomized blocks design, in a factorial scheme 3 × 2, represented by the magnesium sources: magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), magnesium oxide (MgO) and control without Mg fertilization, in the presence or absence of inoculation with A. brasilense. The Mg sources were supplied with a dose of 30 kg ha-1, being homogenized in the substrate before sowing the crop. The analysis were carried out in the V4 stage, evaluating: basal stem diameter (BSD); relative chlorophyll content (SPAD index), leaf dry mass (LDM), stem + sheath blade dry mass (SSDM) and root dry mass (RDM). No differences were observed for the factors interaction and for the Mg sources. When considered the seed inoculation there was increases of 7.1%; 6.61%; 19.23%; 28.32%; and 15.17 %, for basal stem diameter, SPAD index, leaf dry mass, stem + sheath blade dry mass and roots, respectively. The inoculation of maize seeds with A. brasilense increases the initial development of maize plants and the SPAD index in greenhouse conditions in the V4, while the fertilization with the magnesium sources do not interfere in the maize development.

ABSTRACT Rhizobacteria have a wide range of plant growth-promoting mechanisms of action, making them an alternative and/or complementary biological input for chemical fertilizers. In this respect, the present study aimed to assess growth and nitrogen accumulation in maize plants as a function of Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus subtilis, zinc and nitrogen application at sowing. The experiment with the ‘AL Bandeirante’ maize variety was conducted in a greenhouse, using a completely randomized design. The treatments were arranged in a 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 factorial scheme, with six repetitions, considering the presence and absence of Azospirillum brasilense (5 g kg-1), Bacillus subtilis (5 mL kg-1) and zinc (20 g kg-1) in the seeds and addition or not of nitrogen (30 kg ha-1) to the soil. The variables assessed were plant height, stem diameter, leaf, stem, shoot, root and total dry weight, and shoot nitrogen content. Nitrogen fertilization in the absence of zinc increased shoot and total dry weight as well as shoot nitrogen content. Zinc applied to the seeds improved the total and stem dry weight of maize plants in the absence of Bacillus subtilis. Inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense and Bacillus subtilis increased the stem diameter and shoot nitrogen content of maize plants when nitrogen fertilization was not performed at sowing. There was no isolated or interaction effect between factors for plant height and root dry weight.

The study aimed to estimate seasonal dynamics of soil nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium under the influence of sod grasses in a sod-dressing intercropped orchard. The trial was conducted in a Welsey apple 1987-year orchard. Trees were planted at 8×6 m, cultivar seedlings used as rootstock. Red clover and meadow timothy in variant shares were used for interrow sodding. The cereal—legume intercropping was done in 2015, preceded by a 180 kg/ha active substance phosphorus-potassium dressing in reserve. Nitrogen was applied annually prior to growing season at 34.4 kg/ha active substance. Grass biomass in first hay cutting was the highest and comprised 45.3-49.9 % total mass. A total four cuttings dry mass was 3.36-7.10 t/ha depending on scheme. The maximum biomass was registered for the schemes with red clover and meadow timothy at ratios 1:1 and 7:3 (6.52 and 7.10 t/ha). In the growing period, grass depleted soil for 111.1—219.9 kg/ha nitrogen, 21.5-42.7 kg/ha phosphorus and 209.3—380.8 kg/ha potassium. Such consumptions suggest a serious competition for soil nutrients between grass vegetation and fruit trees. The available phosphorus and potassium content was independent of interrow dressing schemes. Inter-scheme differences did not exceed experimental bias due to presowing phosphorus and potassium application in reserve before trial. By first cutting, the nitrate nitrogen soil content in sodding schemes was 1.5-2-fold less vs. bare fallow, i.e. more nitrogen is used by vegetating grass, and its available forms recover slower than being consumed.

ABSTRACT The goal of this study was to evaluate the management of volunteer castor bean with herbicide applications used in pre and post-seeding of soybean crop resistant to glyphosate. Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design with three replications. The first experiment corresponded to applications of desiccation with treatments: glyphosate (1,080 g ha-1); glyphosate + 2,4-D (1,080 + 670 g ha-1); glyphosate + carfentrazone-ethtyl (1,080 + 20 g ha-1); glyphosate + flumioxazin (1,080 + 25 g ha-1); glyphosate + saflufenacil (1,080 + 35 g ha-1); glyphosate + chlorimuron-ethyl (1,080 + 12.5 g ha-1); diuron + paraquat (300 + 600 g ha-1); and the control without application. In the second experiment, the treatments corresponded to doses of 0, 90, 180, 360, 720, 1,440, 2,880 and 5,760 g ha-1 of glyphosate for applications in post-emergence in soybean RR. The applications took place when the castor bean plant had four to six true leaves. The evaluations done in both experiments were: control and plant height at 7, 14 and 21 days after application (DAA); and stem diameter, leaf area, root volume, dry mass of shoots and roots at 21 DAA. The treatments with diuron + paraquat and glyphosate associated with 2,4-D, carfentrazoneethyl, flumioxazin or saflufenacil are more efficient for castor bean control in desiccation in pre-seeding of soybean. Glyphosate doses from 720 g ha-1 are effective to control castor bean in post-emergence of the glyphosate-resistant soybean crop.

The article presents the results of research conducted during 2016-2019 on the impact of different rates of mineral fertilizers and by-products of the predecessor on the content of chemical nutrients in plants and the yield of maize hybrids in the Forest-Steppe. The aim of the research was to establish the peculiarities of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium accumulation in maize plants in ontogenesis in relation to the yield of hybrids of early and middle-early maturity groups to optimize the mineral nutrition of the crop. The research was conducted on dark gray wooded soil using field, chemical, calculation-weight and mathematical-statistical methods. According to the stages of growth and development of BBCH, the peculiarities of the dynamics of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in plants of hybrids with FAO 190 and 280 depending on the agrochemical load of growing technology are established. Varietal regularities of concentration of chemical elements in maize plants in connection with the accumulation of dry matter by crops in ontogenesis and yield were revealed. Hybrids with the corresponding genetically determined level of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in plants have been identified and its influence on the realization of genotype productivity potential has been shown. The decisive role of potassium and nitrogen in the formation of the corn crop on dark gray wooded soil has been experimentally proved and confirmed on the basis of statistical and correlation analyzes. All hybrids were characterized by high tightness of correlations between yield and content in plants of nitrogen (r = 0.760–0.934) and potassium (r = 0.755–0.943) during the growing season as opposed to phosphorus, where these connections were of medium strength (r = 0.334–0.589) and only partially close (r = 0.702–0.806). According to the results of plant diagnostics of mineral nutrition of plants, the most effective growing technologies with different agrochemical loading are singled out, which ensure the yield of early and middle-early maize hybrids in agro-climatic conditions of the Forest-Steppe at 9.56–10.39 and 11.21–12.10 t/ha.

A matocompetição limita o crescimento e o desenvolvimento da cultura do trigo. Porém, a inoculação com bactérias diazotróficas pode reduzir os efeitos da matocompetição. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a inoculação de Azospirillum brasilense em sementes de trigo, e seus efeitos nos estádios iniciais de desenvolvimento, sendo submetidas em convivência com plantas de azevém. Utilizou-se delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados, e esquema fatorial 2x3, com quatro repetições. O primeiro fator correspondeu a inoculação de sementes trigo com A. brasilense, e o segundo fator a três densidades populacionais de azevém (0, 25, 50). Avaliações foram realizadas nas plantas de trigo aos 18 e 34 dias após a emergência (DAE). Aos 18 DAE, na densidade de 50 plantas de azevém, as plantas de trigo inoculadas foram 30% maiores em altura. Houve redução no número de folhas, em que as plantas de trigo inoculadas apresentaram número de folhas 33% maior do que as não inoculadas, além de índice de SPAD 23% maior. Aos 34 DAE, na densidade de 50 plantas de azevém, houve aumento de 21% na altura das plantas de trigo, índice SPAD 13% maior, e área foliar 15% maior em relação às plantas não inoculadas. Apesar do aumento de 68% no acúmulo de massa seca, as plantas inoculadas não diferiram em biomassa em relação à testemunha, quando em matocompetição. Conclui-se que a inoculação com A. brasilense favorece a cultura do trigo em matocompetição até os 18 DAE, mas ao final de 34 DAE, não se observam efeitos satisfatórios. Palavras-chave: Diazotróficas.

However, the inoculation with diazotrophic bacteria can reduce the effects of weed competition. The objective of this work was to evaluate the inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense in seeds, and its effects in the early stages of development, and subjected to  coexistence with plants of azevém.  A completely randomized block design, and factorial 2x3, with four replications were used. The first factor corresponded to wheat seed inoculation with A. brasilense, and the second factor to three population densities of azevém (0, 25, 50). Evaluations were performed in wheat plants at 18 and 34 days after emergence (DAE). At 18 DAE, the density of 50 plants of azevém, the wheat plants inoculated were 30% greater in height. There was a reduction in the number of leaves, in which the wheat plants inoculated presented a number of sheets 33% higher than those not inoculated, in addition to SPAD index 23% higher. At 34 DAE, the density of 50 plants of azevém, there was an increase of 21% in the height of wheat plants, SPAD index 13% higher leaf area, and 15% higher than the non-inoculated plants. Despite the increase of 68% in the accumulation of dry mass, the inoculated plants did not differ in biomass in relation to the control , when in weed competition.  It is concluded that inoculation with A. brasilense favors wheat cultivation in weed competition up to 18 DAE, but at the end of 34 DAE, no satisfactory effects are observed. Keywords: Diazotrophic.

Tomato (L.ycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seedlings were nutritionally conditioned with solutions containing factorial combinations of N at 25, 75, and 225 mg·liter -1, P at 5, 15, and 45 mg·liter-1, and K at 25, 75, and 225 mg·liter -1 to determine the effect of nutritional regimes on tomato transplant growth and quality. As N increased from 25 to 225 mg·liter-1, fresh shoot weight, plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, leaf area, shoot and root dry weights, and total chlorophyll increased. Nitrogen accounted for the major source of variation. Phosphorus effects were significant only in 1988; Pat 45 mg·liter-1 increased fresh shoot weight, plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, and leaf area in comparison to 5 and 15 mg·liter -1. Potassium did not significantly influence any of the growth variables measured in the study. For quality transplant production, nutrient solutions should contain at least N at 225 mg·liter-1, P at 45 mg·liter-1, and K at 25 mg·liter-1.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate different organic substrates and phosphorus doses on the growth and leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in rootstocks of Tamarindus indica L. The experiment was performed in a greenhouse nursery located on the campus of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), from March to October 2013. The treatments consisted of three organic sources at a concentration of 40% (v/v) (bovine manure, goat manure and a commercial organic compound) and four doses of simple superphosphate (0, 0 kg m-3, 2.5 kg m-3, 5.0 kg m-3 and 7.5 kg m-3). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD), with 12 treatments (substrates), four replications and 10 plants per plot, totaling 480 plants. The goat manure and the organic compound were the most suitable treatments for the production of rootstocks of the tamarind tree. The maximum dose of 7.5 g kg-1 of simple superphosphate caused the highest levels of phosphorus and potassium in the dry mass of shoots. The nutrients in the dry matter of shoots accumulated in the following order: N > K > P.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento inicial e diagnose nutricional de plantas de milho cultivadas com omissão de macronutrientes em Argissolo. O experimento foi desenvolvido em estufa, tendo como substrato Argissolo amarelo distrocoeso, utilizou-se vasos com capacidade de 3 dm³, tendo como tratamentos: Solo sem adubação, Adubação referência e omissão de nitrogênio (N), fósforo (P) e potássio (K) respectivamente, mantendo cinco repetições por tratamento, totalizando 25 unidades experimentais, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. Foi realizado o plantio via propagação sexuada e após uma semana foi feito o desbaste, deixando apenas uma planta por vaso. Aos 30 dias após a aplicação dos tratamentos, foram avaliados os parâmetros de crescimento: altura das plantas, número de folhas, diâmetro do colmo, massa seca (MS) da parte aérea (PA) e raiz (R), além das determinações nutricionais: concentração de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio na PA e R. Os resultados encontrados foram submetidos a análise de variância e posteriormente ao teste de medias de acordo a significância. O crescimento inicial das plantas de milho foi severamente comprometido com a ausência dos nutrientes N e P, destacando assim a importância dessa suplementação. A diagnose nutricional mostrou que a omissão dos macronutrientes comprometeu o acúmulo desses elementos.

The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse with subsoil yellow dystrocoes, using pots with a capacity of 3 dm³, using as treatments: Soil without fertilization, reference fertilization and omission of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), maintaining five replicates per treatment, totaling 25 experimental units in a completely randomized design. Planting was carried out via sexual propagation and after one week the thinning was done, leaving only one plant per pot. At 30 days after application of the treatments, growth parameters were evaluated: plant height, leaf number, shoot diameter, shoot dry mass (AP) and root (R), in addition to the nutritional determinations: nitrogen concentration, phosphorus and potassium in PA and R. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and later to the test of means according to significance. The initial growth of corn plants was severely compromised by the absence of N and P nutrients, thus highlighting the importance of this supplementation. The nutritional diagnosis showed that omission of macronutrients compromised the accumulation of these elements. Keywords: grasses; soil fertility; mineral nutrition of plants; Zea mays.
