Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito da irrigação com água de diferentes salinidade e diferentes teores de esterco bovino no crescimento inicial da mamoneira. O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade Federal Rural do Semi–Árido, Mossoró – RN, em blocos casualizados num esquema fatorial 4 x 4, com três repetições e uma planta/vaso por parcela. Foram utilizados quatro níveis de salinidade (S1=0,5; S2=2,0; S3=4,0 e S4=6,0), em dS m-1, ajustados em água proveniente de poço profundo, através da adição de NaCl na água de irrigação, com quatro teores de esterco bovino no substrato (E1=0; E2=3:1; E3=2:1; e E4=1:1). As variáveis avaliadas foram: número de folhas (NF), área foliar (AF), diâmetro do caule (DC), altura (ALT), fitomassa seca da raiz (FSR) e fitomassa seca da parte aérea (FSPA) aos 64 dias após semeadura (DAS). Todas as variáveis foram afetadas pelos fatores estudados, sendo o efeito isolado dos níveis salinos e dos teores de esterco, sem, entretanto haver variação significativa na interação (SxE). Os resultados demostraram que o crescimento da mamoneira foi afetado negativamente pela salinidade da água acima de 4dS m -1 e positivamnte pelos teores de esterco bovino.

RESUMO A compactação do solo é uma das principais limitações impostas ao desenvolvimento do sistema radicular da cana-de-açúcar, promovendo a redução da capacidade de absorção de água e nutrientes pela planta. Neste contexto, objetivou-se identificar regiões no campo com diferentes níveis de compactação, de modo a permitir a adoção de manejo localizado. O trabalho foi realizado na Usina Vale Verde, em Baía Formosa-RN, Brasil, onde a resistência do solo à penetração (RSP) foi avaliada em área de 113,59 ha, dividida em 12 talhões cultivados com cana-de-açúcar, onde foram locados 113 pontos georeferenciados. As determinações foram feitas nas camadas de 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 e 31-40 cm de profundidade, utilizando-se penetrômetro com sistema automático de medição. Foram utilizadas ferramentas de geoestatística para avaliar a dependência espacial das variáveis e confeccionar, por meio da interpolação por krigagem, mapas de isovalores da RSP. As figuras de isovalores localizam no campo áreas com diferentes níveis de compactação do solo. A descompactação do solo pode ser evitada em 18,80% da área total, principalmente nos talhões 45 e 48. Nas áreas que necessitam descompactação, esta deve ser realizada a profundidade maior do que 40 cm.

Cucumis melo L ,source: sink ,postharvest ,Agriculture (General) ,S1-972 ,Biotechnology ,TP248.13-248.65 - Abstract
ABSTRACT Among many management practices used in melon crops, those that change source: sink relationship, such as pruning and fruit thinning, directly influence production, affect fruit size and its composition, including sugar and vitamin contents. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of pruning of the main stem and time of fruit thinning in melon postharvest quality. Thus, two experiments were set up in Mossoró, state of Rio Grande do Norte, each with a melon hybrid (Amaregal and Banzai). Each experiment was conducted in a randomized block, in a (2 x 4) + 1 factorial design, 2 pruning management (with and without pruning), 4 levels of fruit thinning (3, 6, 9 and 12 DARB - days after removal agro textile blanket) and a control (without pruning and thinning), and four replications. Fruits were harvested at commercial maturity and transported to the Laboratory of Food Technology of UFERSA, where they were evaluated for the following characteristics: weight, diameter, length, flesh thickness, flesh firmness, soluble solids, pH, and titratable acidity, soluble solids: titratable acidity ratio and vitamin C. No interaction between factors in any of the experiments was found. Titratable acidity (0.077%) and vitamin C content (3.4 mg/100 g) in Amaregal melon and soluble solids (10.2%) in Banzai melon were lower in the treatments with stem pruning. In Amaregal melon, fruits showed longer length (134 mm) and greater flesh firmness (40 N) when thinning was carried out on 6 DARB, and as thinning was delayed, it found a decrease in the values of soluble solids, SS: TA ratio and pH. In Banzai melon, fruits showed greater flesh thickness (33.5 mm) and SS: TA (247.5) ratio when thinning was carried out on 6 DARB. However, delay in thinning promoted an increase in pH and vitamin C content of the fruits. Pruning of the main stem and thinning season had effect on the quality of Amaregal and Banzai melons in different ways.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of no-tillage and conventional planting systems, and of weed-management strategies on water-usage efficiency in capsicum crops. The experiment was carried out at the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, using a split-plot layout in a randomized block design with four replications. The tillage systems were evaluated in the plots, and three weed-management strategies evaluated in the subplots (soil cover with polyethylene film, and with and without weeds). The density and dry mass of the weeds, the commercial and total productivity, and the daily water consumption were all evaluated. It was found that the no-tillage system reduced the density and dry mass of the weeds in comparison to conventional systems, and the interference of these plants reduced commercial productivity under both planting systems. The strategy of weeds under a no-tillage system, despite a higher water consumption, showed a productivity and efficiency of water usage superior to those of the strategies of polyethylene film both under no-tillage and conventional systems, and of weeds under a conventional tillage system.

ABSTRACT Seedling quality is a key factor to achieve success in vegetable production. The present work aimed to evaluate the production of gherkin seedlings in substrate of coconut fiber fertirrigated with different concentrations of nutrients. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3 × 5 factorial with four replications. The treatments consisted of combinations of three cultivars of gherkin (Do Norte, Liso de Calcutá, e Liso Gibão) with five concentrations of nutrients in the solution (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). The nutrient solution, considered standard, matches the recommended solution for melon in hydroponic systems. We evaluated the variables: chlorophyll index, shoot length, number of leaves, stem diameter, main root length, dry weight of leaves, roots, and stem, mass of total dry matter, leaf area, specific leaf area, and leaf area ratio. All variables were affected by the ionic concentration in nutrient solutions. The use of coconut fiber in the production of gherkin seedlings is more efficient with nutrient solutions in concentrations ranging from 75 to 100% of the recommended solution for melon cultivation.

ABSTRACTThe rational use of nutrients is of fundamental importance for obtaining high productivity of high nutritional quality. This work was developed with the aim of evaluating the quality of pepper fruit grown under different fertigation managements and different levels of nitrogen and potassium. The experimental design was of randomised blocks in a 3 x 6 factorial scheme with four replications. The treatments resulted from the combination of three fertigation managements (M1-based on the rate of absorption; M2-monitoring the conductivity of the soil solution; M3-monitoring concentrations of N and K ions in the soil solution) with six levels of N and K (N0K0, N50K50, N100K100, N150K150, N200K200 and N300K300) as a percentage of the recommended dosage for the crop under conventional fertigation (M1) or hydroponics (M2 and M3). Fruit quality was evaluated for the following characteristics: pH, soluble solids, titratable acidity, vitamin C content and the ratio of soluble solids to titratable acidity. The different fertigation managements only affected the levels of soluble solids (SS) and titratable acidity (TA), reducing the SS and TA. The variables under study were adjusted for the levels of N and K using quadratic models.

The northeast region of Brazil stands out in the production and export of melon. In this region, where this crop is mostly grown, part of the soil is of limestone origin, as is the irrigation water used. Over successive cultivations, these conditions can lead to soil alkalinization due to the accumulation of basic cations of the exchange complex, such as Ca, Mg, K and Na, in soils that are already rich in bases, thus influencing nutrient availability and, consequently, crop yield. On this basis, this study was developed to identify the cation ratios (K:Mg:Ca) of the soil that best correlate with attributes indicative of ‘Gália’ melon production. Two experiments were carried out in two consecutive years (2017 and 2018), in a randomized-block design with five treatments and five replicates. Treatments consisted of the following cation ratios (K:Mg:Ca) for experiment I, whose soil had a K content of 0.40 cmolc dm-3: T1 (1:3:34), T2 (1:3:21), T3 (1:3:9), T4 (1:0.8:9) and T5 (1:11:34); and experiment II, where the soil had 0.56 cmolc dm-3 of K: T1 (1:1.6:29.8), T2 (1:1.4:13.3), T3 (1:1.4:8.5), T4 (1:0.5:8.5) and T5 (1:4.8:29.8). The following traits were evaluated: chemical analyses of the soil during the flowering phase and at the end of the cycle, nutrient concentration in the diagnostic leaf during the fruiting phase, total yield, marketable yield, average total weight, average marketable weight, total number of fruits and number of marketable fruits per plant. The cation ratios influenced the average total and marketable fruit weights only in experiment I, but not yield. Therefore, when associated with irrigation water from the Açu sandstone aquifer and fertigation, the high absolute K and medium to high Mg contents are sufficient to meet the K and Mg nutrient requirements, dispensing with correction of the cation ratio.

Sorghum is of significant economic importance for Northeastern Brazil, since it exhibits high growth rates in regions with irregular rainfall distribution and high temperatures, and is an alternative to corn, which has greater water requirements. Despite being a traditional crop in the region, there are few studies on irrigation management in the Apodi plateau. The aim of this study was to determine the evapotranspiration of the crop and the crop coefficient (Kc) for the different stages of sorghum growth in two cycles, and establish the relationship between the Kc and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) obtained by radiometry. Two weighing lysimeters were used to estimate crop evapotranspiration (ETc). Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was estimated by the Penman-Monteith method (FAO) and the crop coefficient determined using two methodologies: simple Kc and dual Kc. Total crop evapotranspiration in the two cycles was 452 and 557 mm. The ETc value was 23% higher in the second cycle compared to the first. The maximum Kc values for the first and second cycles were 1.21 and 1.35, respectively, using the dual Kc methodology. The linear relationship found between the Kc values and the NDVI allows monitoring and estimating the water requirements of the crop. RESUMO O sorgo apresenta grande importância econômica para o Nordeste brasileiro, por ter alta capacidade em desenvolver-se em regiões com distribuição irregular de chuvas e alta temperatura, sendo uma alternativa à cultura do milho, que possui maior exigência hídrica. Apesar de ser uma cultura de tradição na região, há poucos estudos para o manejo da irrigação na chapada do Apodi. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi determinar a evapotranspiração da cultura, o coeficiente de cultivo para os diferentes estádios de crescimento do sorgo em dois ciclos e obter uma relação entre o Kc e o Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) obtidos por radiometria. Para estimar a evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc) foram utilizados dois lisímetros de pesagem. A evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) foi estimada pelo método de Penman-Monteith (FAO) e o coeficiente de cultivo foi obtido por duas metodologias, Kc simples e Kc dual. Os valores da evapotranspiração total da cultura, nos dois ciclos, foram 452 e 557 mm. O valor da ETc foi 23% maior no segundo ciclo em relação ao primeiro. Os valores de Kc máximo obtidos para o primeiro e segundo ciclos foram 1,21 e 1,35, respectivamente, utilizando-se a metodologia do Kc dual. A relação linear encontrada entre os valores de Kc e o NDVI permite monitorar e estimar as necessidades hídricas da cultura.

Adequate potassium and calcium nutrition is a strategy to reduce salt stress on tomatoes, as it reduces nutritional imbalance in plants. With the objective of evaluating tomato production using irrigation with saline waters and fertigation with different potassium-calcium proportions, an experiment was carried out in a protected environment in Mossoró, RN, Brazil. The experimental design used was randomized blocks, in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of the combination of four electrical conductivity of nutrient solution (ECns) (1.75; 3.25; 4.75; and 6.25 dS m-1) combined with five ionic proportions (m/m) of potassium and calcium (F1 = 2.43:1; F2 = 2.03:1; F3 = 1.62:1; F4 = 1.30:1 and F5 = 1.08:1). The response variables were: number of fruits, mean fruit weight, fruit production per plant and relative yield. It was possible to identify satisfactory results of production when higher salinity was used. Fertigation with low K+/Ca2+ proportions intensifies the effect of salinity on tomato crop. RESUMO Adequada nutrição potássica e cálcica é uma estratégia para reduzir o estresse salino sobre o tomateiro, pois reduz o desbalanço nutricional nas plantas. Com o objetivo de avaliar a produção do tomate utilizando irrigação com águas salinas, e fertigação com diferentes proporções potássio-cálcio, realizou-se um experimento em ambiente protegido em Mossoró, RN. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 5 x 4, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em combinações de quatro condutividade elétricas da solução nutritiva (ECns) (1,75; 3,25; 4,75 e 6,25 dS m-1) com cinco proporções iônicas (m/m) de potássio e cálcio (F1 = 2.43:1; F2 = 2.03:1; F3 = 1.62:1; F4 = 1.30:1 and F5 = 1.08:1). As variáveis resposta foram: número de frutos, peso médio de fruto, produção de frutos por planta e produção relativa. Foi possível identificar resultados de produção satisfatórios quando se usa uma maior salinidade. O uso de fertigação com baixas proporções K+/Ca2+ potencializa o efeito da salinidade sobre a cultura do tomateiro.

Com isso, objetivou-se avaliar tipos de eletrodos e materiais de enchimento e encapsulamento no desempenho de sensores de umidade do solo. Com base no princípio da resistência elétrica, diferentes sensores foram confeccionados e avaliados em um delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial de 2 x 5, com dois eletrodos (20 x 5 e 15 x 5 mm) e cinco materiais de enchimento e encapsulamento (areia grossa + gesso com 30% pó de mármore, areia fina + gesso com 30% pó de mármore, lã de vidro + gesso com 30% pó de mármore, areia fina + gesso com 30% areia fina e areia grossa + gesso com 30% areia fina), com quatro repetições. Os resultados indicaram que os eletrodos de anéis concêntricos de tela de inox fixados com resina de poliéster mantêm uniforme as leituras de condutividade elétrica na medição da tensão da água no solo. Os eletrodos de 20 x 5 preenchidos com areia fina e encapsulado com gesso + pó de mármore foram mais sensíveis às baixas tensões e com leituras mais precisas da umidade do solo.

DEVELOPMENT OF SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR USING THE PRINCIPLE OF ELECTRIC RESISTANCE 2 ABSTRACT The determination of soil water content is used for irrigation planning decisions. This study aimed to evaluate electrode types and filling and encapsulation materials on the performance of soil moisture sensors. Based on the principle of electric resistance, different sensors were made and evaluated in a randomized block design in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme with two electrodes (20 x 5 and 15 x 5 mm) and five filling and encapsulation materials (coarse sand + gypsum with 30% marble powder, 30% fine sand + 30% marble sand, 30% sand and gypsum with 30% sand) with four replicates. The results indicated that the concentric stainless steel mesh ring electrodes fixed with polyester resin keep the electrical conductivity readings uniform in the measurement of soil water tension. The 20 x 5 electrode filled with fine sand and encapsulated with gypsum + marble powder were more sensitive to low voltages and with more accurate readings of soil moisture. Keywords: precision agriculture, water use efficiency, irrigation management.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the uniformity of distribution in drip units applying dilutions of treated water produced by oil exploration. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design in a split-split-plot scheme, with three replicates. The plots were composed of the treatments P0 - 100% groundwater, control; P10 - 90% groundwater and 10% produced water; P20 - 80% groundwater and 20% produced water; P30 - 70% groundwater and 30% produced water; and P40 - 60% groundwater and 40% produced water; the subplots had the types of non-pressure compensating drippers (D1 - 1.6 L h-1, Netafim Super Typhoon, D2 - 1.6 L h-1, Netafim Streamline and D3 - 1.7 L h-1, NaanDanJain TalDrip); and the sub-subplots contained the evaluation times (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 h). Distribution uniformity and statistical uniformity coefficients were evaluated every 40 h, until completing 160 h. The pH of the dilutions was the attribute posing the highest risk of clogging to the emitters. Also in relation to dilutions, P40 caused greater application non-uniformity in D2, while the highest values of application uniformity were achieved in treatments P10 and P20 with D1 and D3, indicating the effectiveness of dilution in minimizing clogging.

Estima-se que no futuro, mais da metade dos alimentos sejam provenientes de áreas irrigadas, fazendo com que ocorra maior pressão sobre o consumo de água e energia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar um sistema de automação utilizando Arduino e inversor de frequência destinado à irrigação por válvulas. O experimento consistiu em manter a pressão de saída constante em função de seis perdas de carga, através de estrangulamento mecânico de válvulas hidráulicas. Para isso, foi construída uma bancada de testes composta por conjunto motobomba, inversor de frequência, controlador de irrigação, válvulas hidráulicas, transdutores de pressão e sistema micro controlado; Para o monitoramento, automação e aquisição de dados utilizou-se uma placa Arduino Mega e circuitos condicionadores de sinal. Os resultados mostraram que a placa Arduino controlou de forma satisfatória todo o sistema, mantendo a pressão de saída das válvulas em 20 kPa, independente da pressão de entrada e das perdas de cargas das válvulas. Esse controle foi possível com a variação da rotação do motor, promovida pelo inversor de frequência. Analisando as válvulas 1 e 6, verificou-se que a frequência variou de 49,67 a 62,29 Hz, elevando a rotação de 2923 para 3646 rpm, e a potência ativa de 1322 para 2315 W, resultando em uma redução de potência ativa de 42,9%.

PRECISION AUTOMATION USING ARDUINO AND FREQUENCY INVERTER APPLIED TO VALVE IRRIGATION SYSTEMS 2 ABSTRACT World population growth slows but will have significant absolute growth, so food demand will grow. It is estimated that in the future more than half of the food will come from irrigated areas, causing greater pressure on water and energy consumption. The objective of this work was to assess an automation system using Arduino and frequency inverter for valve irrigation. The experiment consisted of maintaining the output pressure constant as a function of six load losses through mechanical throttling of hydraulic valves. To this end, a test bench was built consisting of motor pump, frequency inverter, irrigation controller, hydraulic valves and pressure transducers, and controlled micro system. For the monitoring, automation and data acquisition, an Arduino Mega board and signal conditioning circuits were used. The results showed that the Arduino board satisfactorily controlled the entire system, maintaining the outlet pressure of valves at 20 kPa, regardless of the inlet pressure and the load losses of valves. . This control was possible with motor rotation variation promoted by the frequency inverter. Analyzing valves 1 and 6, it was found that the frequency ranged from 49.67 to 62.29 Hz, increasing the rotation from 2923 to 3646 rpm, and the active power from 1322 to 2315 W, resulting in an active power reduction of 42.9%. Keywords: Active power, irrigation controller, hydraulic valves, irrigated agriculture, micro controller.

Objetivou-se avaliar a produtividade de grãos e de colmos, e a qualidade do caldo de cultivares de sorgo dupla aptidão, submetidas a diferentes concentrações salinas da água e lâminas de irrigação. Os fatores estudados foram arranjados em parcelas subdivididas (4x3)x3, sendo as quatro concentrações salinas (CE = 0,8; 2,4; 3,4; e 4,8 dS m-1) e as três lâminas (306, 378 e 490 mm) em fatorial nas parcelas e as três cultivares nas subdivididas (BRS 506, IPA 2502 e Ponta Negra), e delineados em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. O experimento foi conduzido por 120 dias, e nesse período as plantas foram avaliadas quanto a produção de grãos, massa seca e fresca do colmo e ºBrix do caldo. Observou-se que a redução de 23% da lâmina considerada potencial para a cultura não prejudicou o rendimento total e de colmos das cultivares de sorgo BRS 506 e Ponta Negra. A cultivar de sorgo BRS 506 é mais sensível a salinidade, porém apresenta os maiores teores de sólidos solúveis, sendo a mais indicada para produção de etanol e açúcar. Não houve efeito significativo das lâminas de irrigação e da salinidade da água de irrigação sobre a massa de 100 grãos e produtividade de grãos das cultivares de sorgo. A cultivar IPA 2502 apresenta o pior rendimento independentemente da lâmina e da salinidade da água de irrigação.

The scarcity of fossil fuels and environmental pollution prompted the search on new renewable fuels. Sweet sorghum has succulent stems and broth similar to sugarcane, but studying its energy potential is necessary. We evaluated the biomass, grain yield, ethanol production, and energy cogeneration of sweet sorghum cultivars irrigated with raw and diluted domestic sewage effluent. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with six replicates, in a 3 × 3 factorial scheme, corresponding to three water sources (well water—control, raw sewage effluent and sewage effluent diluted by 50% in well water) and three sorghum cultivars (IPA 2502, BRS 506 and BRS Ponta Negra). The results indicated that irrigation with domestic sewage effluent increases biomass, grains yield, briquettes production, and energy cogeneration. BRS 506 has higher oBrix and produces more mass of juice, ethanol, and energy involvement compared with other cultivars. We concluded that domestic sewage effluent increases biomass production and energy cogeneration of sweet sorghum. BRS 506 cultivar is viable for the production of biomass, ethanol, and energy cogeneration. BRS Ponta Negra cultivar is viable for the production of biomass, grains, ethanol, and energy cogeneration. IPA 2505 cultivar is only viable for biomass and grain production.

Resumo A descarga de efluentes provenientes do rejeito de dessalinizadores e do cultivo de camarões com águas de poços salinizados tem causado impactos ambientais, dentre eles a salinização do solo, tornando-o improdutivo. Visando à solução de tais problemas, estudos têm sido realizados para o aproveitamento do rejeito na aqüicultura e, subseqüentemente, na irrigação de plantas halófilas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o uso do rejeito de dessalinizador, associado ao cultivo de camarões, na irrigação de Atriplex nummularia, e seu efeito na redução dos teores de sais no solo, em um sistema integrado de agricultura com aqüicultura. Esta espécie foi eficiente na retirada de sais do solo, sendo uma alternativa para evitar os efeitos da salinização causada por efluentes salinos. Na presença de esterco no solo, entretanto, A. nummularia não foi eficiente na redução dos teores de Na+ e K+, não sendo, pois, recomendável o uso deste adubo, quando a recuperação de solos salinos for prioridade. Abstract Effluent discharge from desalting brackish water and inland shrimp farms has created environmental problems in due to soil salinization. Thus, studies have been accomplished seeking the use of this desalting wastewater for aquaculture and subsequently irrigation of halophytes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of desalting wastewater, associated to shrimp cultivation to irrigate the halophyte Atriplex nummularia and the effect of this plant on salt extraction from soil. This specie was efficient in removing salt from the soil, being an alternative to avoid the effects of salinization. In the presence of manure in the soil, however, A. nummularia was not efficient in reducing the levels of Na+ and K+ Therefore; use of manure is not recommended when the purpose of the cultivation is to reclaim saline soils.

O experimento foi realizado no Assentamento Milagre, município de Apodi/RN, no período de junho de 2016 a fevereiro de 2017. Foram estudados cinco tratamentos, sendo quatro frequências de irrigação (2,3; 7; 14 e 21 dias), sendo aplicado uma lâmina de 3,5 mm de efluente, e uma testemunha, cultivo em sequeiro (sem irrigação). Utilizou-se delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. Após 234 dias do 1º corte realizado na palma, foram estimadas as produtividades de massa fresca e massa secas, assim como, determinado os teores de macro e micronutrientes na biomassa seca da palma forrageira. A complementação hídrica realizada por irrigação com intervalos de 2,3; 7,0; 14,0 e 21,0 dias, viabilizou satisfatoriamente a produção de biomassa da palma forrageira. A complementação hídrica de 3,5 mm por irrigação com efluente de esgoto doméstico tratado, com intervalos de 2,3 e 7,0 dias promove a maior produtividade da palma forrageira orelha de elefante mexicana. O efluente de esgoto doméstico tratado é viável para irrigação e fertirrigação da palma forrageira, carecendo da suplementação mineral adicional com fósforo, cálcio e zinco.

PRODUCTIVITY AND NUTRIENT CONTENT OF FORAGE CACTUS IRRIGATED WITH DOMESTIC SEWAGE EFFLUENT 2 ABSTRACT The aim of this work was to evaluate, in the second cycle, biomass productivity and nutrient content of Mexican Elephant Ear forage cactus, conducted under complementary irrigation, with treated domestic sewage. The experiment was carried out at Settlement Milagre, municipality of Apodi-RN, from June 2016 to February 2017. Five treatments were studied, four irrigation frequencies (2.3, 7, 14 and 21 days) a 3.5 mm death of effluent, and a control, rainfed cultivation (without irrigation). A randomized complete block design with four replicates was used. After 234 days of the first cut in the palm, green and dry mass yields were estimated, as well as the macro and micronutrient contents in the dry cactus biomass. Water supplementation performed by irrigation with intervals of 2.3, 7.0, 14.0 and 21.0 days, allowed satisfactory production of the forage cactus biomass. The water supplementation of 3.5 mm by irrigation with treated domestic sewage effluent, with intervals of 2.3 and 7.0 days, promotes higher productivity of forage cactus mexican elephant ear. The treated domestic sewage effluent is feasible for irrigation and fertigation of forage cactus, lacking additional mineral supplementation with phosphorus, calcium and zinc.

Com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho desta gramínea sob estresse salino, estabeleceu-se um delineamento experimental inteiramente aleatorizado, analisado em esquema fatorial (5x2), com quatro repetições, totalizando 40 unidades experimentais. Os tratamentos consistiram na aplicação de águas com cincos níveis de salinidade (0,5; 1,5; 2,5; 3,5 e 4,5 dS m-1) às plantas via aspersão e gotejamento. Avaliaram-se os componentes: altura (ALT), fitomassa fresca (FMF) e fitomassa seca (FMS) da parte aérea das plantas, as quais foram obtidas em 4 sucessivos cortes. Concluiu-se que a água de irrigação de elevada salinidade reduz a FMF e a FMS da gramínea, porém, é possível se obter resultados expressivos de produção com uma CEa máxima de 2,8 dS m-1, com reduções máximas de 20% na produção fitomassa seca. Ao se utilizar água salobra, as plantas irrigadas via gotejamento apresentaram resultados de produção mais expressivos em relação às plantas irrigadas via aspersão.

PERFORMANCE OF TANZANIA GRASS IRRIGATED WITH SALINE WATER APPLIED VIA SPRAY AND DRIPPING 2 ABSTRACT Tanzania grass (Panicum maximum) is a forage that has stood out in the last years for feeding animals worldwide. Therefore, the evaluation of its growth and production under saline stress is an important factor to enhance the cultivation of this fodder in semi-arid regions. To evaluate the performance of this grass under salt stress, a completely randomized experimental design was established in a factorial scheme (5x2) with four replications, totaling 40 experimental units. Treatments consisted of application of water with five salinity levels (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 dS m-1) to the plants via sprinkling and dripping. The components: height (ALT), fresh phytomass (FMF) and dry matter (FMS) of the aerial parts of the plants were evaluated, which were obtained in four successive cuts. High salinity irrigation water reduces FMF and grass FMS, but it is possible to obtain significant results of production with a maximum ECa of 2.8 dS m-1, and maximum reductions of 20% in dry biomass production. When brackish water is used, plants irrigated via drip irrigation presented more significant production results against plants irrigated by spraying.

The plant Varronia leucocephala is widely used in Brazil for its therapeutic properties. However, a major problem for the seedlings is the low percentage of root formation. The objective of this study was to establish a rooting protocol for V. leucocephala cuttings, using phytoregulators and microelements associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The auxin indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentration of 1500 mg L-1 showed the best rooting percentage, and it is proposed associating the microelements zinc and boron with the highest IBA doses. Although an increase in the rooting percentage was observed in the presence of zinc, it was not the most suitable for improving the percentage of propagation. Consequently, association of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi with 1500 mg L-1 IBA plus zinc was selected to evaluate the rooting percentage and sprouting of the aerial part, dry biomass of roots and aerial part, number of leaves, height, mycorrhizal colonization and dependency, spore density, and nutrients of branches and roots. These results show that using zinc with the highest doses of IBA (1500 mg L-1) in plants inoculated with the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Gigaspora albida) was the most effective at promoting the vegetative propagation of V. leucocephala. RESUMO Varronia leucocephala é uma planta utilizada pela população para fins terapêuticos. Um dos maiores problemas para produção de mudas dessa espécie é o baixo percentual de enraizamento. Objetivou-se estabelecer um protocolo de enraizamento de estacas de V. leucocephala utilizando fitorreguladores e microelementos associados com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares. Sendo a concentração de 1500 mg L-1 do ácido indolbutírico (AIB) a que proporcionou maior percentual de enraizamento, propôs-se associar os microelementos zinco (Zn) e boro (B) com maiores concentrações de AIB. Na presença do Zn, observou-se incremento na percentagem de enraizamento; no entanto, não foi o ideal para aumentar a percentagem de propagação. Testou-se a associação de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares junto à concentração de 1500 mg L-1 de AIB para avaliar o percentual de enraizamento e brotação de parte aérea; biomassa seca de raiz e parte aérea; número de folhas; altura; colonização e dependência micorrízica; densidade de esporos e nutrientes da parte aérea e da raiz. A utilização de zinco juntamente a doses mais elevadas de AIB (1500 mg L-1) e associada com fungo micorrízico arbusculares (Gigaspora albida) tornaram-se eficientes para a propagação vegetativa de V. leucocephala.

In regions with water scarcity, it is necessary to use well water, often brackish water, in the irrigation of crops, which requires the adoption of management mitigation strategies. This study was carried out in the Fazenda Pedra Preta, Mossoro, Brazil, with the objective of evaluating the use of 10 management strategies of irrigation with two types of water (electrical conductivity ECWP1 = 0.57 dS m−1 and ECWP2 = 4.33 dS m−1). This was based on alternating and/or varied application as a function of the phenological stage during the plant growth phase, on the production, mean weight, and quality of the “Toad Skin” melons (Cucumis melo L., cv Sancho). A randomized complete block design with four replications was used, totaling 40 experimental plots. It was concluded that irrigation with water of electrical conductivity of 0.57 dS m−1 in the flowering and fruiting phases and water of 4.33 dS m−1 in the vegetative growth and maturation phases has produced more commercial fruits with higher mean weight. Through time, water management strategies did not influence the number of fruits per plant, fruit productivity, soluble solids content, and pulp firmness.

The experiment was conducted in 2014, in a completely randomized factorial design (5x6), with three replications. The factors were soil classes (Typic Ustipsamments, Typic Haplustults, Typic Haplustepts, Typic Ustifluvents, and Typic Haplusterts) and levels of irrigation water salinity (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0 dS m-1). Increasing salinity of irrigation water caused increase in leaf contents of macronutrients in all soils. Adequate leaf contents of N, K, and Mg were observed in plants grown in all soils except K in Typic Haplusterts and Mg in Typic Ustipsamments. Appropriate P levels were observed only in Typic Haplustepts, and Ca only in Typic Haplustults and Typic Ustifluvents. Increased salinity of irrigation water caused increased leaf contents of micronutrients in all soils except copper in Typic Ustifluvents, iron in Typic Haplusterts and Typic Haplustults, and manganese in Typic Ustipsamments and Typic Haplustults.

Agriculture in the Brazilian Northeastern region, particularly in semi-arid climates, depends on scarce water resources. This has promoted interest in the use of marginal quality waters for crop production. In Northeastern Brazil, the occurrence of brackish and saline water sources is common and their use in agriculture without adequate management can reduce crop productivity and negatively impact soil properties. Long-term strategies that ensure the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of agricultural systems are required. We present an overview of water sources in Northeastern Brazil and several management strategies evaluated in this region, including: salt tolerant crops, soil and water management, appropriate cropping systems, application of mineral and organic amendments, and plant x microorganism interactions. Two case studies on the application of on farm-strategies are presented, highlighting the technical feasibility of using brackish water in irrigated agriculture. These results also underscore the need to use management strategies, which allow the use of these water sources with less impact on crops and soils. We conclude that the use of marginal quality water is an important alternative for agricultural production in Northeastern Brazil. The simultaneous application of several strategies may be the most convenient approach.

The objective of the present study was to assess the effects of phosphate fertilization management on root traits of irrigated watermelon crop by minirhizotron observation. The experiment was conducted in an area with acrisol soil in Mossoró-RN using a completely randomized block design with six replicates corresponding to the assessment times. The evaluated parameters were four doses of P (34, 80, 137, and 206 kg ha−1 de P2O5) and two methods of fertilization: basal fertilization (F0) and basal + top-dressing fertilization (F1). Triple superphosphate was used for basal fertilization and monoammonium phosphate was used for top-dressing (34 kg ha−1 of P2O5). In addition, two control treatments were included: one without the use of P (C1) and another with only top-dressed P at a dose of 103 kg ha−1 of P2O5 (C2). A portable root scanner was used to collect images through 0.6-m clear tubes (minirhizotrons). The root mean diameter decreased with increasing doses of phosphate in F0; however, fine roots were observed in C2. There was a positive effect of P doses on the number of roots only in F0. In the absence of P, the reduction in the number of roots was greater than the reduction in total length. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar los efectos de la fertilización con fosfato en las características de las raíces de la sandía regadas a través de minirizotrones. El experimento se realizó en un Argisol, en Mossoró-RN, en un diseño de bloques al azar con seis repeticiones, correspondientes a los períodos de evaluación. Se evaluaron cuatro dosis de P (34, 80, 137 y 206 kg ha-1 de P2O5) y dos formas de fertilización: base (F0) y base más cubierta (F1). Para las dosis de base se utilizó triple superfosfato y para las dosis de cobertura, fosfato monoamónico (34 kg ha-1 de P2O5). También se aplicaron dos tratamientos de control: sin aplicación de P (C1); y la aplicación de P solo en cobertura a una dosis de 103 kg ha-1 de P2O5 (C2). Con la ayuda de un escáner de raíces portátil, las imágenes se capturaron a través de tubos transparentes (minirizotrones) de 0,6 m. El diámetro promedio de las raíces disminuyó con el aumento de la dosis de fosfato en la fertilización F0, pero se observaron raíces más delgadas en el tratamiento C2. Hubo una respuesta positiva de las dosis de P en el número de raíces solo en la fertilización F0. En ausencia de P, la reducción en el número de raíces fue más intensa que la de la longitud total. Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar os efeitos da adubação fosfatada sobre características das raízes da melancieira irrigada através de minirhizotrons. O experimento foi realizado em um Argissolo, em Mossoró-RN, em delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados e seis repetições, correspondentes às épocas de avaliação. Foram avaliadas quatro doses de P (34, 80, 137 e 206 kg ha-1 de P2O5) e duas formas de adubação: fundação (F0) e em fundação mais cobertura (F1). Para as doses em fundação utilizou-se o superfosfato triplo e para as doses em cobertura, o fosfato monoamônico (34 kg ha-1 de P2O5). Foram aplicados ainda dois tratamentos-controle: sem aplicação de P (C1); e aplicação de P somente em cobertura na dose de 103 kg ha-1 de P2O5(C2). Com o auxílio de um escâner de raízes portátil, foram capturadas imagens através de tubos transparentes (minirhizotrons) de 0,6 m. O diâmetro médio das raízes diminuiu com o aumento da dose de fosfato na adubação F0, porém raízes mais finas foram observadas no tratamento C2. Houve resposta positiva das doses de P sobre o número de raízes apenas na adubação F0. Na ausência de P a redução do número de raízes foi mais intensa do que a do comprimento total.

Bell peppers are sensitive to salinity; therefore, it is necessary to find alternatives to reduce saline stress. An experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid Region, in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte State, Brazil, to evaluate the effects of salinity and K+/Ca2+ ratios on bell pepper production. The experimental design consisted of randomized blocks in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme with four replicates, corresponding to five K+/Ca2+ ratios (F1 = 3.3/1, F2 = 2.8/1, F3 = 2.2/1, F4 = 1.8/1, and F5 = 1.5/1) and four salinity levels in the nutrient solution using NaCl (1.75, 3.25, 4.75, and 6.25 dS m-1). The following parameters were evaluated: the number of fruits (total, marketable and unmarketable), the mean weight of fruits (marketable and unmarketable), fruit production (total, marketable and percentage of marketable fruits) and a salinity tolerance index. Generally, nutrient solution enrichment with K+ or Ca2+ did not cause significant increments in bell pepper yield. The fertigation treatments F2, F3, and F5 led to a higher bell pepper tolerance to salinity, allowing waters with higher salt concentrations to be used without causing a reduction in the yield.

This study aimed to evaluate, in the second cycle, the growth and production of ‘Orelha-de-elefante Mexicana’ prickly pear (Opuntia sp.) under complementary irrigation with treated domestic sewage. The experiment was carried out in the Milagre Settlement, municipality of Apodi-RN, Brazil, from June 2016 to February 2017. Five treatments were evaluated, corresponding to four irrigation frequencies (2.3, 7.0, 14.0 and 21.0 days) to apply an effluent depth of 3.5 mm, and the control, rainfed cultivation (without irrigation). The experimental design was randomized blocks, with four replicates. After preliminary-primary treatment, the domestic sewage showed acceptable chemical and physical characteristics for fertigation under the conditions adopted in the prickly pear cultivation. 234 days after the 1st cut in the plants, the following morphometric characteristics were measured: plant height and length, width, perimeter, thickness and number of primary and secondary cladodes, and biomass accumulation. Complementary irrigation with treated domestic sewage effluent applied at intervals of 2.3, 7.0, 14.0 and 21.0 days allowed satisfactory growth and production of ‘Orelha-de-elefante Mexicana’ prickly pear; without irrigation, its development was substantially hampered during the dry period. Complementary irrigation with 3.5 mm of domestic sewage effluent applied at intervals of 2.3, 7.0 and 14.0 days led to highest growth and biomass accumulation in ‘Orelha-de-elefante Mexicana’ prickly pear. Objetivou-se com esse trabalho avaliar, no segundo ciclo, o crescimento e a produção da palma forrageira orelha-de-elefante (Opuntia sp), conduzida sob irrigação complementar, com esgoto doméstico tratado. O experimento foi realizado no Assentamento Milagre, município de Apodi/RN, no período de junho/2016 a fevereiro/2017. Foram estudados cinco tratamentos, sendo quatro frequências de irrigação (2,3; 7; 14 e 21 dias), para aplicar uma lâmina de 3,5 mm de efluente, e a testemunha, cultivo em sequeiro (sem irrigação). Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. A água de esgoto doméstico após passar pelo tratamento preliminar-primário apresentou características químicas e biológicas aceitáveis para a fertirrigação nas condições utilizadas no cultivo da palma. Após 234 dias do 1º corte realizado na palma, foram feitas medições das características morfométricas: altura de planta, comprimento, largura, perímetro, espessura e número de cladódios primário e secundário e acúmulo de biomassa. A complementação hídrica realizada por irrigação com intervalos de 2,3; 7,0; 14,0 e 21,0 dias, viabilizou satisfatoriamente o crescimento e a produção da palma forrageira orelha de elefante que, sem irrigação, teve seu desenvolvimento bastante comprometido no período seco. A complementação hídrica com 3,5 mm de água de esgoto doméstico tratado por irrigação, com intervalos de 2,3; 7,0 e 14,0 promovem o maior crescimento e acúmulo de biomassa da palma forrageira orelha de elefante.

Studies on nutrient uptake are important to understand nutritional needs of crops, which demand may also be influenced by fertilization management, particularly P fertilization. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate macronutrient accumulation and distribution in watermelon cv. Magnum, under two forms of phosphate fertilization. The experiment was carried out in a sandy-textured Argisol in Mossoró-RN. The experimental design was a randomized block design, arranged in split plot in time, with four replicates. We evaluated dose of 137 kg ha-1 of P2O5 under two forms of fertilization [pre-planting (F0) and pre-planting + topdressing (F1)]. Triple superphosphate (SFT) was used for pre-planting applications and topdressing applications were done through fertigation using monoammonium phosphate (MAP, 34 kg ha-1 of P2O5). Shoot samples (stem + leaf + fruit) of the experimental plots were collected at 27, 34, 40 and 55 days after emergence (DAE), and quantitative values of the accumulated nutrients were determined. In general, the highest accumulation of macronutrients occurred in the last third of the crop cycle. General accumulation of macronutrient was altered by fertilization form. An increase in P accumulation was observed using F1 fertilization, both in total and in fruits. Macronutrient accumulation rates increased during the evaluation period, except for Ca and Mg in F1 fertilization. F1 fertilization provided higher total accumulations of Ca and Mg, but the same did not occur for the accumulation in fruits. RESUMO Estudos de marcha de absorção de nutrientes são importantes para a definição das necessidades nutricionais das culturas, cuja demanda pode também ser influenciada pelo manejo da adubação, particularmente no caso do P. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar a marcha de acúmulo de macronutrientes da melancieira cv. Magnum irrigada submetida a duas formas de adubação fosfatada. O experimento foi realizado em Argissolo de textura arenosa, em Mossoró-RN, no delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com quatro repetições. Foi avaliada a dose de 137 kg ha-1 de P2O5 sob duas formas de adubação [em pré-plantio (F0) e em pré-plantio + cobertura (F1)]. Superfosfato triplo (SFT) foi utilizado para as aplicações em pré-plantio e, as aplicações em cobertura foram feitas através de fertirrigação, utilizando fosfato monoamônico (MAP, 34 kg ha-1 de P2O5). Foram realizadas coletas aos 27, 34, 40 e 55 dias após a emergência (DAE) da parte aérea total (caule + folha + fruto) das parcelas experimentais, determinando-se os quantitativos dos nutrientes acumulados. De forma geral, os maiores acúmulos de macronutrientes ocorreram no último terço do ciclo da cultura. A ordem geral de acúmulo de macronutrientes foi alterada com a forma de adubação, havendo aumento do acúmulo de P com a adubação F1, tanto no total como nos frutos. A variação das taxas de acúmulo de macronutrientes é crescente no período de avaliação, exceto para Ca e Mg na adubação F1. A adubação F1 proporcionou maiores acúmulos totais de Ca e Mg, porém o mesmo não ocorre para o acúmulo nos frutos.

The northeastern semiarid region faces some of the droughts of the last centuries, resulting in serious reductions of agriculture yields. The water scarcity for agricultural requires rational use practices and reuse of water, such as use of domestic effluent sewage. Alternatively, the use of treated domestic sewage effluent utilizing for irrigation of forage species, such as the forage cactus, can be highlighted. In order to evaluate the effects of fertirrigation with treated sewage effluent on mineral nutrient composition of forage cactus (Opuntia Tuna L. Mill, Mexican elephant ear), an experiment was carried out utilizing a split plot 3 x (4 + 1) with a randomized complete block design randomized block and four replications, being three planting density (66,667.00, 52,282.00 and 33,333.00 plants ha-1) and two water sources associated with irrigation frequency of plates fixed on 3.5 mm per irrigation (Frequencies of 2.3 days with water tap and 7, 14 and 21 days with Sewage Effluent) and cactus cultivated in Rainfed agriculturerainfed (control). The analyze of the nutritional contents of cladodes indicated that there was a significant effect of the intervals from irrigation events only for Ca and Mg concentrations. The highest levels of Ca and Mg were found with the irrigation frequency of 2.3 using tap water. The macronutrients concentration in greater quantity by the forage cactus were N e, K followed by, Ca, Mg and P. The nutritional balance indicated excess of K and P and deficiency of N, Ca and Mg, in this order. RESUMO O semiárido nordestino enfrenta umas das mais severas secas dos últimos séculos, resultando em reduções severas na produção agrícola. A escassez hídrica na agricultura exige práticas de uso racional e reaproveitamento da água como, por exemplo, a utilização de efluentes de esgoto doméstico . Alternativamente pode-se destacar o uso de esgoto doméstico tratado para irrigação de espécies forrageiras, como a palma. Objetivando avaliar os efeitos da fertirrigação com efluente de esgoto doméstico tratado sob a composição mineral de nutriente em palma forrageira (Opuntia Tuna L. Mill, Orelha-de-elefante Mexicana), foi conduzido um experimento em blocos casualizados em esquema de parcelas subdivididas 3 x (4 + 1), com 4 repetições, sendo três densidades de plantio (66.667,00; 52.282,00 e 33.333,00 plantas ha-1) e duas fontes hídrica associadas a frequência de irrigação com lâmina fixa de 3,5 mm por rega (Frequências de 2,3 dias com água de abastecimento e de 7, 14 e 21 dias com Efluente de Esgoto) e, palma cultivada em sequeiro (testemunha). As análises dos teores nutricionais dos cladódios indicam que houve efeito significativo dos intervalos entre eventos de irrigação apenas para as concentrações de Ca e Mg. Os maiores teores de Ca e Mg foram encontrados com a frequência de irrigação de 2,3 utilizando água de abastecimento. Os macronutrientes em maior quantidade pela palma forrageira foram N e K seguido de Ca, Mg e P. O balanço nutricional indicou excesso de K e P e déficit de N, Ca e Mg, nesta ordem.

The use of saline water in agriculture has increased in the Brazilian semiarid due to low availability of good quality water for irrigated agriculture, being the selection of salt tolerant hybrids an alternative to reduce the effect of salinity on nutritional status of plants. So, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of salinity of irrigation water in the accumulation and partition of nutrients in the vegetable tissue of watermelon cultivars, in the region of Mossoro in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The treatments studied consisted of applying irrigation water with five electrical conductivities (EC1 = 0.57, EC2 = 1.36, EC3 = 2.77, EC4 = 3.86 and EC5 = 4.91 dS m-1), two watermelon cultivars and four samplings times (15; 29; 43 and 60 days after transplanting), arranged in a scheme of split plot(5x2x4) and outlined in complete blocksrandomized with four replications. The accumulated nutrients in plants were influenced by ECw, occurring a loss in comparison with the higher ECw of 24.1 and 36.4% in the accumulationof N and P in the vegetative part of plant and 37.8 and 30.1 % in the accumulation of P and K in the aerial part. The accumulation of N, P and K in the watermelon was influenced by plant age, with reduction at the end of the cycle.

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido em ambiente protegido na UFERSA, em Mossoró, RN, com o objetivo avaliar a qualidade do tomate em função de diferentes relações iônicas de potássio e cálcio (K+/Ca2+), sendo: F1=1,5:1; F2=1,25:1; F3=1:1; F4=1:1,25 e F5=1:1,5 e quatro níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação (S1-0,5; S2-2,0; S3-3,5 e S4-5,0 dS m-1). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 5 x 4, totalizando 20 tratamentos, com quatro repetições. A relação K+/Ca2+=1:1 correspondente a concentração desses nutrientes recomendada para a cultura em cultivo de tomateiro hidropônico. Foram avaliadas as variáveis relacionadas a qualidade de frutos (sólidos solúveis, vitamina C, acidez titulável, pH e relação AT/SS). O uso de água com salinidade entre 2,0 e 3,5 dS m-1 aumenta a qualidade do tomate pelo aumento da razão SS/AT. As fertirrigações com maiores concentrações de K favorecem a qualidade dos frutos para salinidades até 3,5 dS m-1, mas não afetam a qualidade de tomate na salinidade 5,0 dS m-1.

PQUALITY OF TOMATO AS FUNCTION OF IRRIGATION WATER SALINITY AND K/CA RATIO IN FERTIGATION 2 ABSTRACT The quality of tomato is directly related to the quality of the water used in irrigation and to the adequate supply of nutrients, mainly potassium and calcium. The objective of this work was to evaluate the quality of tomatoes as a function of the different ionic ratios of potassium and calcium (K+/ Ca2+), with: F1 = 1.5:1; F2 = 1.25:1; F3 = 1: 1; F4 = 1:1.25 and F5 = 1:1.5 and four irrigation water salinity levels (S1-0.5, S2-2.0, S3-3.5 and S4-5.0 dS m-1). The experimental design was a randomized complete block design in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme, totaling 20 treatments, with four replications. The K+/Ca2+ ratio = 1:1 corresponds to the concentration of these nutrients recommended for cultivation in a hydroponic tomato crop. The variables related to fruit quality (soluble solids, Vitamin C, titratable acidity, pH and AT / SS ratio) were evaluated. The use of water with salinity between 2.0 and 3.5 dS m-1 increases tomato quality by increasing the SS/AT ratio. Fertigation with higher concentrations of K favor fruit quality at salinity up to 3.5 dS m-1, but do not affect tomato quality at 5.0 dS m-1 salinity.

Worldwide, Brazil holds the fifth position in melon fruits exportation, further expanding its products to provide for the growing demand. This expansion is the result of the development and application of new technologies, including the management of the use of biostimulants. However, for melon crops, the information in the literature on the use of biostimulants remains limited to the effects of different doses on fruit quality at the time of harvest. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of different methods of pre-harvest application of two biostimulants on the production and postharvest conservation of fruits of yellow melon cv. Iracema. The treatments consisted of a combination of three factors: two plant biostimulants (Crop Set® and Spray Dunger®), two application methods of the products (fertigation and spraying), and five times of postharvest storage (0, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days). An additional control treatment corresponded to plants without biostimulant application. The fruits were evaluated for production and physicochemical attributes: average mass, yield, flesh firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids content, SSC/TA ratio, pH, total soluble sugars, and weight loss. Fertigation is the recommended application method of biostimulants for yellow melon due to its effect on the increase of average mass, yield, flesh firmness, soluble solids content, and total soluble sugars of the fruits in relation to the spraying method. Mundialmente, o Brasil ocupa a quinta posição na exportação de frutos de melão, expandindo ainda mais sua produtividade para atender a crescente demanda. Essa expansão é resultado do desenvolvimento e aplicação de novas tecnologias e técnicas de manejo. Dentre as técnicas de manejo para a cultura do melão que vêm sendo estudadas, estão o uso de bioestimulantes. Apesar dos benefícios dos bioestimulantes na qualidade dos frutos, as pesquisas com esses produtos informam o seu efeito quando aplicados em diferentes doses somente no momento da colheita. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a influência de diferentes métodos de aplicação pré-colheita de dois bioestimulantes na produção e conservação pós-colheita de frutos de melão amarelo cv. Iracema. Os tratamentos consistiram na combinação de três fatores: dois bioestimulantes (Crop Set® e Spray Dunger®), dois métodos de aplicação (fertirrigação e pulverização) e cinco tempos de armazenamento pós-colheita (0, 14, 21, 28 e 35 days). Os frutos foram avaliados pela produção e pelos atributos físico-químicos: massa média, produtividade, firmeza de polpa, acidez titulável, conteúdo de sólidos solúveis, relação SS/AT, pH, açúcares solúveis totais e perda de massa. A fertirrigação é o método de aplicação indicado para ambos os bioestimulantes pelos seus efeitos positivos na massa média, produtividade, firmeza de polpa, conteúdo de sólidos solúveis e açúcares solúveis totais dos frutos em relação à pulverização.

Dito isto, em Mossoró-RN (5º11’31’’S, 37º20’40’’O), entre setembro de 2014 e janeiro de 2015, desenvolveu-se esta pesquisa, com o objetivo de quantificar alterações nas características químicas de um Argissolo vermelho-amarelo Eutrófico cultivado com plantas de mamona (Ricinus communis L.) que receberam aplicação de percolado de aterro sanitário. O experimento foi conduzido em blocos casualizados com cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições; do total da demanda hídrica da cultura, aplicou-se inicialmente percentuais (0; 20; 40; 60 e 80%) de percolado de aterro sanitário e, em seguida, o restante em água de abastecimento. Concluiu-se que com o incremento do percentual de percolado aplicado houve aumento do pH e no quantitativo de Ni, Cd e Pb, assim como os teores de Ca e Cu foram reduzidos nos primeiros 0,20 m. A condutividade elétrica do extrato de saturação, e o quantitativo de Fe e Cu não variou ao longo do perfil, entretanto, verificou-se aumento na capacidade de troca catiônica (CTC) - até a dose de 60% de percolado, e do percentual de sódio trocável (PST) – embora sempre abaixo de 15%. A variação no quantitativo de Mn, Zn, Ni, Cd e Pb não ultrapassou os limites impostos pela legislação vigente.

Thus, in Mossoró, RN (5º11’31'”S, 37º20’40” W), between September 2014 and January 2015, this research was developed with the objective of quantifying changes in the chemical characteristics of a Eutrophic red-yellow agrisol cultivated with castor bean plants (Ricinus communis L.) that received landfill percolation. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block with five treatments and four replicates; percentages (0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80%) of percolated landfill were initially applied, followed by water supply. It was concluded that, with the increase of the percolation percentage applied, there was an increase in pH and in the quantity of Ni, Cd and Pb, while the Ca and Cu contents were reduced in the first 0.20 m. The electrical conductivity of the saturation extract, and the quantitative Fe and Cu did not vary along the profile. Nevertheless, there was an increase in CTC – up to 60% of the percolation, and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) – albeit always below 15%. The variation in the quantity of Mn, Zn, Ni, Cd and Pb did not exceed the limits imposed by the current legislation. Keywords: liquid waste, heavy metals, sustainability

Knowledge about the physical and hydric characterization in the soil is essential for studies on land use and plant development. Thus, this study evaluated water retention and its interrelationships with the physical and chemical attributes of Cambisols under different land uses in a rural settlement in a semiarid region of Brazil. The analysis of soil water retention curves associated with multivariate statistics was performed to distinguish agroecosystems. The environments studied were Preserved Forest - reference area, Cajarana Orchard Area, Corn/Bean Consortium, Watermelon/Pumpkin Consortium, and Agroecological Cultivation. It was obtained as a result that Preserved Forest presented the highest field capacity, permanent wilting point, and available water. However, there was greater water retention in Cajarana Orchard Area compared to other environments. The reference area and Agroecological Cultivation maintained conditions that improve the soil structure, weighted mean diameter, microporosity, and total porosity. In Watermelon/Pumpkin Consortium and Agroecological Cultivation, there was a greater contribution of the organic total carbon contents and in Cajarana Orchard Area, and Watermelon/Pumpkin Consortium had discriminating variables the clay, hydrogenionic potential in water, and macroporosity. Thus, the multivariate analysis allowed to analyze changes in water retention, which differed not only between land use but also in-depth and inorganic soil fractions. In addition, it was concluded that the soil tillage systems alter the chemical, physical and structural attributes of Cambisols of the semiarid studied and that the minimum tillage is an alternative to be adopted as the most suitable for the region.

RESUMO O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de doses, fontes e formas de aplicação de P na conservação de melancia sem semente. Para isto, foi realizado o plantio da melancia cv. 'Style'. Os tratamentos consistiram de duas doses de P (80 e 289 kg/ha P2O5) em duas formas de aplicação (fundação e cobertura), utilizando o superfosfato triplo, na fundação, e o fosfato monoamônico (MAP) em cobertura. Ainda, foi acrescentado um tratamento adicional com a maior dose (289 kg/ha P2O5) parcelada com MAP em fundação e cobertura, totalizando cinco tratamentos. No laboratório, foi instalado um experimento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fatorial 5x5, sendo as cinco adubações fosfatadas e cinco períodos de armazenamento dos frutos (0, 14, 21, 28 e 35 dias após a colheita), com quatro repetições. Uma amostra de oito frutos foi avaliada no tempo zero e os demais armazenados em temperatura de 9±2°C e 85±2% UR, onde permaneceram por 7, 14, 21 e 28 dias e mais sete dias à temperatura de 23±2°C e 60±2% UR. Foram avaliados nos frutos a massa, comprimento, diâmetro, espessura de polpa, formato, perda de massa (PM), firmeza da polpa (FP), sólidos solúveis (SS), acidez titulável (AT), açúcares solúveis (AS), relação SS/AT e licopeno. A adubação (doses, forma de aplicação e fontes de P) não afetou a massa, comprimento, diâmetro, espessura de polpa, formato do fruto, perda de massa, firmeza de polpa e teor de licopeno dos frutos. Todavia, houve interação entre os fatores adubação e armazenamento, para AS e relação SS/AT. Houve acréscimos na PM e decréscimos nos teores de SS, AS, AT e licopeno dos frutos durante o armazenamento. Porém, a adubação fosfatada, na menor dose (80 kg/ha) aplicada via fundação, resultou em melhor resultado na conservação pós-colheita da melancia sem semente, mantendo-se maior teor de AS e relação SS/AT da polpa até 35 dias de armazenamento.

Although watermelon is one of the major vegetable-fruit crop, management fertilization still lacks information for increased productivity, quality and profitability, and to lower environmental impact. An experiment was conducted in Mossoro, Brasilian city of Rio Grande do Norte, from August to October 2012, to evaluate the effects of doses of phosphorus (P) (0, 45, 90, 135, 180 and 225 kg ha-1 P2O5) in productivity, quality and profitability of two cultivars of watermelon cultivation (Top Gun and Olympia), in a randomized blocks in a factorial 6 × 2, with four replications. Larger number of commercial fruits (1.70 per plant) and commercial yield (74.39 t ha-1) were obtained with 54.8 and 49.4 kg ha-1 P2O5, respectively. Attributes of quality of watermelon fruit were not influenced by P. Dose between cultivars differences were found, and 'Olympia' had higher fruit mass and skin thickness than the 'Top Gun'. However, the soluble solids content of the 'Top Gun' was 4.9% higher than the Olympia. The maximum economic return was achieved with a dose of 49.37 kg ha-1 of P2O5. Key words: Citrullus lanatus, phosphate fertilizer, production cost.

RESUMO A compactação do solo é uma das principais limitações impostas ao desenvolvimento do sistema radicular da cana-de-açúcar, promovendo a redução da capacidade de absorção de água e nutrientes pela planta. Neste contexto, objetivou-se identificar regiões no campo com diferentes níveis de compactação, de modo a permitir a adoção de manejo localizado. O trabalho foi realizado na Usina Vale Verde, em Baía Formosa-RN, Brasil, onde a resistência do solo à penetração (RSP) foi avaliada em área de 113,59 ha, dividida em 12 talhões cultivados com cana-de-açúcar, onde foram locados 113 pontos georeferenciados. As determinações foram feitas nas camadas de 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 e 31-40 cm de profundidade, utilizando-se penetrômetro com sistema automático de medição. Foram utilizadas ferramentas de geoestatística para avaliar a dependência espacial das variáveis e confeccionar, por meio da interpolação por krigagem, mapas de isovalores da RSP. As figuras de isovalores localizam no campo áreas com diferentes níveis de compactação do solo. A descompactação do solo pode ser evitada em 18,80% da área total, principalmente nos talhões 45 e 48. Nas áreas que necessitam descompactação, esta deve ser realizada a profundidade maior do que 40 cm. ABSTRACT Soil compaction is one of the main constraints imposed to growth of sugar cane root system, with consequences as reduction on plant ability to absorb water and nutrients. In this context, this study had as objective to identify regions in the field with different compaction levels, allowing the adoption of site specific management. The work was carried out at the Green Valley Sugarcane Mill, in Baía Formosa, RN, Brazil. Soil penetration resistance (RSP) was used as indicative parameter of soil compaction, and was assessed in an area of 113.59 ha, divided in 12 sugarcane fields, where 113 georeferenced points were located. Determinations were made in the 0-10, 11-20, 21-30 and 31-40 cm depths, by means of a soil penetrometer with automatic data acquisition system. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and geostatistical tools, which were used for evaluating spatial dependence of variables and draw contour maps, after kriging interpolation. Contour maps show regions in the area with different soil compaction levels. Subsoiling may be avoided in 18.80% of the total area, mainly in the fields 45 and 48. In other regions subsoiling must be performed deeper than 40 cm.
