Weed coexistence in carioca bean inoculated

The supply of nitrogen (N) to the carioca bean plant via inoculation with Rhizobium tropici can prevent competition with the weed community by allowing the crop to absorb the nutrient available in the soil. On this basis, this study proposes to examine the period before weed interference (PBI) in the carioca bean plant following inoculation with R. tropici or N topdressing. The experiments were carried out under field conditions during the summer seasons of 2014 and 2015. A randomized-block experimental design with four replicates was adopted, in a 2 × 11 factorial arrangement (common bean plant inoculated or topdressed with N × 11 periods of coexistence with weeds, namely, 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, or 90 days after emergence [DAE]). Nitrogen topdressing increased the crop's tolerance to coexist with weeds from 6 to 14 DAE, compared with inoculation with R. tropici The PBI for the inoculated common bean plant was 24 and 16 DAE in the years 2014 and 2015, respectively. For the N-topdressed plant, the PBI was 30 DAE in both years.

TENSÃO DE ÁGUA NO SOLO E DOSES DE NITROGÊNIO PARA A CULTURA DO FEIJOEIRO COMUM Márcio José de Santana1; Amanda Letícia da Silveira1; Carlos Roberto de Camargos2; José Carlos Braga21Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia, Triângulo Mineiro, Campus Uberaba, Uberaba, MG, [email protected] Universitário de Patos de Minas, Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias, Patos de Minas, MG 1 RESUMO Este experimento foi conduzido no campus II do Centro Universitário de Patos de Minas, MG, com o objetivo de avaliar o rendimento do feijoeiro comum, submetido a diferentes tensões de água no solo e doses de nitrogênio. Os tratamentos constaram de quatro tensões de água no solo (10 kPa, 30 kPa, 50 kPa e 70 kPa) e quatro doses de nitrogênio (50 kgha-1, 100 kg ha-1, 150 kg ha-1 e 200 kg ha-1). O delineamento foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial de 4x4 com três repetições. Foram avaliados: produtividade, número de vagens por planta, número de grãos não colhidos, número de vagens verdes e a eficiência do uso da água. Dentre os resultados pode-se constatar que a maior produtividade física foi verificada quando a irrigação foi efetuada com tensão de 22 kPa e dose de N de 130,5 kg ha-1; a maior eficiência do uso da água foi verificada quando a irrigação foi reposta com a tensão de 37 kPa. UNITERMOS: irrigação, tensiometria, eficiência da água. SANTANA, M.J. de; SILVEIRA, A.L. da; CAMARGOS, C.R. de; BRAGA, J.C. SOIL WATER TENSION AND NITROGEN LEVELS FOR THE COMMON BEAN PLANT 2 ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted in the Campus II of the Centro Universitário de Patos de Minas, MG, with the objective of evaluating the yield of common bean plant, submitted to different soil water tension and nitrogen levels. The treatments consisted of four water tension in soil (10 kPa, 30 kPa, 50 kPa e 70 kPa) and four nitrogen (50 kg ha-1, 100 kg ha-1, 150 kg ha-1 e 200 kg ha-1). The experimental design was randomized blocks in factorial scheme of 4x4 with tree repetitions. Crop yield, number of pod per plant, number of unharvested grains, number of green pods and water efficiency cropping were evaluated. Among the results the physical productivity was when the irrigation was effectuated by tension of 22 kPa and N of 130.5 kg ha-1; the greatest value for water use efficiency was irrigation tension of 37 kPa. KEYWORDS: irrigation, tensiometry, efficiency of water.
