African Journal of Agricultural Research (2015)

Pereira de Paiva Emanoela Francisco Vaniés da Silva Sá Franklin de Mesquita Evandro de Andrade Barbosa Marcelo Silva Souto Lauter

Among the fruit plants cultivated in Brazil, papaya (Carica papaya L.) stands out by having high productivity of fruit quality. The seedling production system of this culture needs a technology that promotes the production of plants with high physiological and sanitary quality. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the growth, dry matter accumulation and the efficiency of water use of papaya cultivars under doses of bovine biofertilizer in hydroponic culture. We used a completely randomized design with eight treatments in a factorial scheme 4 x 2, with six replications, and a useful plant per repetition totalizing 48 useful plants. Four doses of biofertilizers (D = 10, 20, 30 and 40% v/v) were tested and applied in two varieties of papaya (Sunrise Solo (C1) and Tainung-01 (C2)). During the first 60 days after sowing, the papaya cultivars were evaluated for growth, dry matter accumulation and water use efficiency in accordance to their doses of biofertilizers. The cultivar Tainung-01 has a higher potential for growth, biomass accumulation and efficient use of water in comparison with the Sunrise Solo cultivar. The doses estimated of 25 and 35% (v/v) of bovine biofertilizer promoted the greater growth and dry matter accumulation for the cultivars Sunrise Solo and Tainung-01, respectively. Key words: Carica papaya L., organic fertilization, hydroponics, seedling production.

Effect of organic matter, irrigation and soil mulching on the nutritional status and productivity of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) in the semiarid region of Brazil

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY (2016)

de Andrade Barbosa Marcelo Marisa Ferreira Núbia Michael Pereira Bertino Antônio Franklin de Mesquita Evandro Helena Garófalo Chaves Lucia

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L) is an important vegetable crop currently cultivated in many parts of the world. The adoption of management strategies to promote the nutritional status and crop productivity in semiarid regions of Brazil is still poorly studied. Thus, this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of raising the level of organic matter in the soil, irrigation and soil mulching in the nutritional status and productivity of okra plant in the semiarid region of Brazil. In this study, the experimental design of randomized blocks in a factorial 5×2×2 was used, with four replications. The treatments were five rates of cattle manure, necessary for raising the levels of organic matter in the pits to 1.8, 2.62, 3.44, 4.26 and 5.08%, two water depths (50 and 100%) of crop evapotranspiration, and soil with and without mulch. The elevation of soil organic matter level until 5.08% in conjunction with the implementation of 100% of Evapotranspiration (ETc) water depth and the use of mulch on the soil favored the greatest absorption of nutrients and increased the productivity of okra plant. Key words: Cattle manure, nutrient absorption, management of water in the soil.

Batista dos Santos João Ramón Marenco Centeno Cruz Alberto Vieira de Azevedo Carlos Raj Gheyi Hans Soares de Lima Geovani

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the production components of sunflower Embrapa 122-V2000, as a function of irrigation water salinity and nitrogen doses. The experiment was conducted in plastic pots with a capacity of 100 L under greenhouse conditions in Federal University of Campina Grande, during the period of April-July 2012, in an experimental design adopting factorial arrangement of 5 x 5, with five levels of irrigation water salinity, expressed by electrical conductivity of 0.7, 1.7, 2.7, 3.7 and 4.7 dS m-1 (25°C) and five nitrogen rates of 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 mg N kg-1 soil, with three repetitions, totaling 75 experimental units. The evaluated parameters were: total number of achenes, percentage of viable achenes, percentage of biomass of viable achenes, the biomass and diameter of chapter, dry weight of 1000 seeds and production of achenes. Although, the interaction of water salinity and nitrogen levels did not show significant effects on the components of production, increase in the salt content of the water inhibited all the variables while elevation of nitrogen rates stimulated emission of achenes, chapter biomass and production of achenes. Key words: Marginal quality water, productivity, Hellianthus annus L.

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY (2016)

Francisco Vaniés da Silva Sá Soares de Lima Geovani Batista dos Santos João Raj Gheyi Hans Almeida dos Anjos Soares Lauriane

This study aimed to evaluate growth and physiological aspects of ‘All Big’ bell pepper, under saline stress and exogenous application of proline on the leaves. The research was conducted in pots adapted as drainage lysimeters under greenhouse conditions, using sandy-loam eutrophic Regolithic Neosol, in the municipality of Campina Grande-PB, Brazil. The experiment was set in randomized blocks, in order to test two levels of irrigation water electrical conductivity - ECw (0.6 and 3.0 dS m-1) associated with four proline concentrations (0, 10, 20 and 30 mmol L-1). Plants were grown in 10-L pots for 50 days after transplantation. This period corresponds to the transition of vegetative and reproductive stages, in which plants were evaluated for growth, gas exchanges and chlorophyll a fluorescence. The increase in irrigation water salinity reduced growth, gas exchanges and the efficiency of photosystem II in bell pepper plants. Proline concentrations from 12.8 to 16.8 mmol L-1 incremented the activity of gas exchanges, reducing the effect of saline stress on bell pepper plants. Proline concentrations under study did not influence chlorophyll a fluorescence of ‘All Big’ bell pepper plants. Key words: Saline water, gas exchanges, chlorophyll a fluorescence, proline.

Roberto Lustosa Silva Herbert Lucena Cavalcante Ítalo Miguel Nascimento Lima Augusto Felix Silva Barbosa Luirick de Souza Cleriton

Fruit production of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims. f. flavicarpa Deg.) is affected by several factors, such as climate, soil and agricultural practices, including fertilization and irrigation, which are essential for high crop yield. Thus, an experiment was carried on to evaluate the effect of humic substances and different nitrogen doses supplied through fertigation on fruit production of yellow passion fruit in Brazilian semiarid. The experiment was carried on from December 2012 to December 2013 on Curaçá irrigation area, Juazeiro County, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized complete block in a split plot arrangement, considering humic substances (absence and presence) as main plots and N doses (180, 200, 260, 330 and 350 kg ha-1 yr-1 of N) as subplots with five replications and six plants in each parcel. The interaction of nitrogen doses and humic substances affected foliar nitrogen concentrations, stem diameter, production per plant and yield. No isolated effect of humic substances on any variable studied was significant. The higher yellow passion fruit yields are recorded at 290 and 350 kg ha-1 N doses without and with humic substances, respectively. Key words: Passionflower, plant nutrition, organic acids.

African Journal of Agricultural Research (2016)

Cássio Pereira Cavalcante Alian Alexandre Diniz Neto Manoel Ferreira Cavalcante Lourival Guilherme Cavalcante Adailza Lucia Moreira Toscano Diniz Belisia

Licania rigida Benth. (oiticica) is a native species from the Northeastern Brazil. In this sense, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of irrigation with saline water and organic matter on the growth and quality of oiticica seedlings. The experiments were laid out in randomized complete block using a 5 × 2 factorial design related to electrical conductivity of irrigation water at 0.5, 1.5, 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0 dS m-1 in a substrate with and without organic castor bean compost (Ricinus communis) and soil in a volume ratio of 0:1 and 1:1 v/v. Growth in height, stem diameter, leaf number, leaf area, chlorophyll a and b and total chlorophyll indices, shoot and root dry matter and Dickson Quality Index were evaluated. The increase in water salinity inhibited biometric growth, seedlings production of root and shoot biomass, chlorophyll content and Dickson Quality Index. Increase in water salinity, except for root biomass, inhibited biometric growth, shoot biomass accumulation, chlorophyll a, b and total, chlorophyll indexes and quality index of oiticica seedlings. In the results, although the Dickson Quality Index did not decrease with increasing water salinity and did not vary among treatments with and without organic compost, the transplanting of seedlings in the field was found to be suitable. Key words: Salinity, organic compost, oiticica.

African Journal of Agricultural Research (2017)

Franklin de Mesquita Evandro Helena Garófalo Chaves Lucia Ferreira Cavalcante Lourival Jales dos Santos Rodrigo Ailton Pereira dos Santos José

A field study was conducted to explore the effect of various rates of organic matter, two water depths, with and without mulching on production of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) and leaf nutrient content. This study was done for two years, and the experimental design of randomized blocks in a factorial 5 ËŸ 2 ËŸ 2 was used, with four replications. The treatments were five rates of organic matter, necessary for raising the levels of organic matter in the pits to 1.8, 2.62, 3.44, 4.26 and 5.08%, two water depths (50 and 100%) of crop evapotranspiration, and soil with and without mulch. In general, it can be observed that the results in the two experimental periods are similar; foliar contents and fruit yield were higher in the plants irrigated with greater amount of water, and also increased with the application of organic matter to the soil. The results were not very different with and without soil mulch, since, with the growth of the plants, the canopies of the same shaded the soil avoiding the evaporation of the water. Key words: Abelmoschus esculentus, organic matter, mulching, irrigation.

Influence of spacing and application of biofertilizer on growth and yield of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY (2018)

Araujo da Silva Nunes Juliete Cavalcante Nunes Járisson Araújo da Silva Jandiê Pereira de Oliveira Ademar Ferreira Cavalcante Lourival

The adequate spacing in okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) influences its growth and fruit production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth, the leaf composition and okra production in different spacing with and without biofertilizer. This research was carried out from October, 2012 to March, 2013, at the Federal University of Paraiba, Areia county, Paraiba State, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design with three replications, using the 3 × 4 × 2 factorial scheme, referring to three spacing between rows (0.80, 1.00 and 1.20 m), four spacing between plants (0.30, 0.40, 0.50 and 0.60 m), with and without bovine biofertilizer. The leaf area, mean fruit mass, number of plant-1 fruits, plant-1 fruit yield and N, P and K contents were significantly influenced by the spacing × biofertilizer interaction. The commercial productivity of the okra was altered only by the spacing. The application of biofertilizer at spacing of 1.00 × 0.50 m and 1.20 × 0.50 m increased the leaf area of â€‹â€‹okra. The smaller spacing, associated with the presence of biofertilizer, increased the productive characteristics of okra. Key words: Organic input, population density, yield.

AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY (2016)

Fonseca da Rocha Leonardo Ferreira Cavalcante Lourival Cavalcante Nunes Járisson Gustavo de Luna Souto Antônio Cássio Pereira Cavalcante Alian

The uses of humic substances and organic residues for soil mulching have been more common during last years. This way, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the fruit quality and yield of guava cv. Paluma as a function of humic substances and organic soil mulching in Brazil. The experiment was performed from January 2012 to June 2013 (first trial) and from July to November 2013 (second trial) using a randomized blocks with treatments distributed in a factorial arrangement (5 × 2 × 2) of five humic substances doses (0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mL of Humitec plant-1), two organic mulching use (with and without organic mulching) and two consecutive harvests, with four replications of two plants each. Humic substances enhance fruit production more efficiently in guava plants grown without soil mulching. Guava fruit production increases from the first to the second harvest. Fruit quality for titratable acidity, soluble solids, vitamin C and soluble solids/titratable acidity ratio is adequate independently of soil mulching use. Humic substances improve fruit quality of guava cv. Paluma. Under soil and climate conditions, and considering the first two production cycles of guava, it is possible to recommend about 20 mL L-1 of humic substances for production of high quality guava fruits. Key words: Humic acids, post-harvest, Psidium guajava.

The monitoring of plants growth constitutes an important activity during the crops formation, including the yellow passion fruit. In this direction, an experiment was carried out in Remigio, Paraiba State, Brazil, to evaluate the effects of saline water irrigation, bovine biofertilizer and potassium on yellow passion fruit growth plants and soil salinity. Treatments were arranged in randomized block with three replications and 12 plants per plot, using factorial design 2 x 2 x 2, relative electrical conductivity of irrigation water of 0.35 to 4.00 dS m-1, in soil with and without biofertilizer and potassium chloride (KCl) conventional and coated with polymers. The variables studied were electrical conductivity of the soil at depths of 0-20 and 21-40 cm, plant height at 30 days after transplanting (DAT), period of the seedlings transplanting to pruning of the main haste and lateral branches, number of productive branches and stem diameter at 30, 90, 150, 210 and 270 DAT. The interaction between water salinity, biofertilizer and potassium increased the soil salinity. The biofertilizer and the slow release of KCl increased the plant growth in height, anticipating the main stem pruning and productive side branches, productive branches number and stem diameter of the plants. Key words: Passiflora edulis, electrical conductivity, organic input.
