No. of bitstreams: 1 SAULO SOARES DA SILVA - DISSERTAÇÃO PPGSA ACADÊMICO 2018.pdf: 1119595 bytes, checksum: 4d97ff9e13ca6a25b081099b15cb6a8b (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-10-18 A cultura do milho exerce grande expressão socioeconômica no cenário brasileiro, sendo um dos principais cereais cultivados na região Nordeste, que além de enfrentar sérios problemas com escassez dos recursos hídricos, principalmente em seu aspecto qualitativo, verifica-se, também, elevados teores de sais. Nesse sentido, objetivou-se avaliar o cultivo do milho irrigado com água de diferentes níveis salinos sob diferentes doses de esterco bovino. O experimento foi realizado em ambiente protegido vinculado ao Centro de Ciências e Tecnologia Agroalimentar (CCTA) da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG), localizado no município de Pombal, PB. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com esquema fatorial (5 x 4), relativo a cinco níveis de condutividade elétrica da agua de irrigação (CEa), S1- água de abastecimento com CEa de 0,3 dS m-1, S2 – CEa de 0,8 dS m-1, S3- CEa de 1,3 dS m-1, S4- CEa de 1,8 dS m-1 e S5- CEa de 2,3 dS m-1, combinados com quatro doses de adubação, sendo D1- sem adubação (testemunha), D2- 50% de esterco bovino, D3- 100% de esterco bovino e D4- 125% de esterco bovino. Foram avaliados o crescimento, as trocas gasosas, a fluorescência da clorofila a, os índices fisiológicos, e a fitomassa seca. O crescimento e a fitomassa seca aos 30 DAS, e as trocas gasosas, sobretudo a condutância estomática e a transpiração do milho são comprometidas pelo aumento salinidade da água de irrigação, porém esse aumento influenciou num maior incremento na fluorescência da clorofila a e nos índices fisiológicos. O aumento das doses de esterco bovino reduziram os índices fisiológicos, porém influenciaram em um maior incremento nas trocas gasosas, no crescimento e no maior acúmulo de fitomassa seca milho. Na eficiência instantânea no uso da água, a adubação com esterco bovino só favoreceu num maior incremento até a dose de 50%. O aumento das doses de esterco bovino pode minimizar um pouco os efeitos deletérios dos sais no diâmetro do colmo e na fitomassa seca de colmo e folhas do milho aos 30 DAS. Corn cultivation exerts a great socioeconomic expression in the Brazilian scenario, being one of the main cereals cultivated in the Northeast region, which in addition to facing serious problems with scarcity of water resources, mainly in its qualitative aspect, also verified high levels of salts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cultivation of maize irrigated with water of different saline levels under different doses of bovine manure. The experiment was carried out in a protected environment linked to the Agricultural Science and Technology Center (CCTA) of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG), located in the city of Pombal, PB. The experimental design was a randomized block design, with a factorial scheme (5 x 4), related to five levels of electrical conductivity of the irrigation water (CEa), S1 water supply with CEa of 0.3 dS m-1, S2-CEa of 0.8 dS m-1, S3-CEa of 1.3 dS m-1, S4-CEa of 1.8 dS m-1 and S5-CEa of 2.3 dS m-1, combined with four doses of fertilization, being D1 without fertilization (control), D2-50% bovine manure, D3- 100% bovine manure and D4-125% bovine manure. Growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence, physiological indexes, and dry biomass were evaluated. Growth and dry matter at 30 DAS, and gas exchange, especially stomatal conductance and corn transpiration, are compromised by increased salinity of irrigation water, but this increase influenced a greater increase in chlorophyll a fluorescence and in physiological indices. Increased doses of bovine manure reduced the physiological indexes, but influenced a greater increase in gas exchange, growth and greater accumulation of dried corn phytomass. In the instantaneous efficiency in the use of the water, the manure with bovine manure only favored in a greater increment until the dose of 50%. Increasing doses of bovine manure can somewhat minimize the deleterious effects of salts on stalk diameter and dry matter of corn stalk and leaves at 30 DAS.

Isso tem representado, portanto, um bem mineral não utilizado e um problema ambiental preocupante, devido aos grandes volumes envolvidos. Estes “novos” fertilizantes foram testados nas mais distintas condições de solo e, portanto ainda não se sabe exatamente qual será seu desempenho agronômico em condições distintas. Diante do exposto, a seguinte hipótese geral foi testada: fertilizantes fosfatados cuja solubilidade é baixa podem apresentar comportamento e desempenho agronômico semelhante aos superfosfato triplo dependendo das condições do solo e manejo. Para tal, foram realizados quatro experimentos em condições de vaso em casa de vegetação, em campo e em laboratório. Dois experimentos foram realizados em casa de vegetação, variando doses, fontes de P (superfosfato triplo, fosfato natural reativo, fosfato precipitado – FP1 1 e fosfato precipitado 2 – FP2) e tipos de solo, cultivados com milho como planta teste. Nas condições do primeiro experimento onde houve variação de doses e fontes, o solo utilizado, foi coletado em condições distintas, isto é, na primeira situação o solo apresentava 3 mg dm-3 de P e na segunda situação o mesmo solo apresentava 30 mg dm-3 de P. Neste experimento pôde-se observar que, onde havia fósforo residual no solo, proveniente de adubações anteriores, os resíduos utilizados, proporcionaram produção de massa de matéria seca (70g por vaso) e índices de eficiência agronômica (75%) semelhantes ao superfosfato triplo (100g por vaso), concluindo que em situações de fertilidade construída, em especial, a fonte alternativa FP1, pode ser utilizada em cultivos com culturas anuais. No segundo experimento foram utilizados cinco solos com diferentes texturas, todos oxídicos, ácidos e com baixo teor de fósforo. Nesta situação, pôde-se concluir que a maior produção de massa de matéria seca do milho (79g por vaso) e o maior índice de eficiência agronômica dos resíduos (75%) foram alcançados também com a fonte FP1, em solos com baixa a média capacidade de adsorção de fósforo quando comparado a solos de alta CMAP. No experimento realizado em condições de campo, a espécie utilizada como teste foi a Urochloa brizantha, cultivar Marandú, com variação do pH do solo e uso das diferentes fontes de fósforo, além do tratamento controle, sem fósforo e sem correção do solo. Neste experimento foram realizados 4 cortes do capim Urochloa brizantha, com o objetivo de observar o efeito residual e o aproveitamento do P pela cultura fornecido por cada fonte. Pôde-se concluir que, a pastagem obteve maior produção de massa de matéria seca (6 t ha-1) e o maior índice de eficiência agronômica (181%) foi obtido com o uso da fonte alternativa FP1, em condições de V% 45, intermediário, exceto no primeiro corte onde a disponibilidade de P foi maior pelo superfosfato triplo, já que é uma fonte solúvel. Indicando ser essa fonte, o FP1, um potencial fertilizante fosfatado em especial para espécies de ciclo perene como as pastagens. O quarto experimento foi realizado em condições de laboratório com o objetivo de determinar quais as formas de fósforo seriam disponibilizadas por cada fertilizante a partir do uso da metodologia de fracionamento de fósforo. Neste experimento houve variação da textura do solo (argiloso e arenoso), do pH do solo (ácido e moderadamente ácido) e distância do grânulo. Pôde-se observar, que as formas lábeis de fósforo, mais próximas do grânulo, foram em sua maioria, disponibilizadas pela fonte solúvel e pela fonte alternativa FP1 quando comparada com o fosfato natural reativo e com o a fonte alternativa FP2. Portanto, sabendo-se da importância atual da reutilização de materiais antes considerados rejeitos, conclui-se que a fonte alternativa FP1 pode ser considerada um potencial fertilizante fosfatado para utilização em culturas de ciclo perene como pastagens, ou em solos de fertilidade construída em cultivos com plantas anuais. Currently, the production of phosphate fertilizers acidulated generates many residues and between these materials are still relatively rich in P, whose use is not yet possible by the current industrial methods. This has meant, however, not used a mineral well and disturbing environmental problem due to the large volumes involved. These "new" fertilizer were tested in very diverse soil conditions and therefore it is not known exactly what will be their agronomic performance under different conditions. Given the above, the following general hypothesis was tested: phosphate fertilizers whose solubility is low may have agronomic behavior and performance similar to triple superphosphate depending on soil conditions and management. To this end, four experiments were carried out in vessel conditions in the greenhouse, in the field and in the laboratory. Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse, varying doses, phosphorus sources (triple superphosphate, reactive phosphate, precipitated phosphate - FP1 1 and precipitated phosphate 2 - FP2) and soil types, cultivated with corn as a test plant. Under the conditions of the first experiment where there was a variation of dosages and sources soil used was collected at different conditions, in the first situation the soil had 3 mg dm-3 P and in the second position the same soil had 30 mg dm-3 P. In this experiment it was observed that, where there was residual phosphorus in the soil of previous manuring, the waste used, provided mass production of dry matter (70 g per pot) and agronomic efficiency ratios (75% ) similar to the triple superphosphate (100g per pot), concluding that fertility in situations constructed, in particular, the alternative source FP1 can be used in crops for annual crops. The second experiment used five soils with different textures, all oxidic, acids and low phosphorus content. In this situation, it could be concluded that the increased production of dry matter corn (79g per pot) and the highest agronomic efficiency of waste (75%) were also achieved with the FP1 source, low in soils average phosphorus sorption capacity when compared to high MAPC soils. In the experiment carried out under field conditions, the species used as a test was Urochloa brizantha cultivate Marandú with variation of soil pH and use of different sources of phosphorus, beyond the control treatment without phosphorus and without soil correction. In this experiment were performed 4 grass courts Urochloa brizantha, in order to observe the residual effect and the use of P by culture provided by each source. It was concluded that the pasture had higher mass of dry matter production (6 t ha-1) and the highest agronomic efficiency (181%) was obtained with the use of alternative source FP1, V% 45 conditions , intermediate, except in the first cut where the availability of P was higher by triple superphosphate, as it is a soluble source. Indicating that this source, the FP1, a potential phosphate fertilizer especially for species of perennial cycle as pastures. The fourth experiment was conducted in laboratory conditions in order to determine the phosphorus forms would be made available for each fertilizer from the use of phosphorus fractionation methodology. In this experiment there was variation in soil texture (clayey and sandy) soil pH (acid and moderately acid) and distance from the bead. It was observed that the labile P forms, closer to the bead, were mostly provided by soluble source and the alternate source FP1 compared with the reactive phosphate rock and the alternative source FP2. Therefore, knowing if the current importance of reuse of materials previously considered tailings, it is clear that an alternative source FP1 can be considered as a potential phosphatic fertilizer for use in continual cycle crops such as grass, or soil fertility built in cultures with annual plants.

Araştırmanın amacı, Bursa iline bağlı Orhangazi ve Gemlik ilçelerindeki zeytin üreticilerinin mekanizasyon düzeyini belirlemektir. Orhangazi ve Gemlik ilçelerinde zeytin tarımı yapılan 16 köyden seçilen toplam 150 işletmede anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Anket çalışması ile yöredeki üreticilerin genel sosyal yapıları, arazi varlıkları, traktör-tarım alet ve makina varlıkları incelenerek mekanizasyon kriterleri belirlenmiştir. Zeytin üretiminde toprak işlemeden hasada kadar tüm tarımsal işlemlerdeki mekanizasyon uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Yapılan araştırma sonucunda yöredeki işletmelerin mekanizasyon düzeyine ilişkin olarak; ortalama arazi büyüklüğü 10-15 da, ağaç varlıkları 400-600 adet, ortalama işletme başına 0.82 adet traktör, traktör başına düşen ekipman sayısı 4.76 adet/traktör olarak saptanmıştır. Yöredeki işletmelere ait bu sonuçlar özellikle bölgede yapılmış daha önceki çalışmalara göre kıyaslandığında mekanizasyon düzeyinde bir artış söz konusudur. Özellikle alet-makina varlığına bakıldığında, artış gözükmesine karşın, tüm tarımsal işlemlere orantılı bir şekilde dağılmadığı saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte toprak işleme aletlerinde bir yoğunlaşma söz konusu iken buna karşın zeytin tarımının en fazla iş gücü gerektiren özellikle bakım ve hasat işlemlerinde alet ve makinaya ihtiyaç duyulduğu görülmektedir. The aim of this research is to determine mechanization level in olive cultivation in Orhangazi and Gemlik districts of Bursa province. A survey study was carried out in total of 150 businesses chosen from 16 villages where olive cultivation was carried out in Orhangazi and Gemlik districts. With the survey study, mechanization level were investigated by means of general social structures, land assets and tractor-agricultural tools and machinery assets of the farmers in the region. The mechanization applications were determined in olive agriculture production from soil cultivation to harvest. As a result, regarding mechanization level of olive production in the region; the average land size was 10-15, tree assets were 400-600 pieces, 0.82 tractor per business, and the number of equipment per tractor was 4.76. When these results are compared with the previous studies carried out in the region, an increase level of mechanization have been observed. Especially when the toolmachine asset was analysed, it was obtained that they were not dispersed proportionally to all agricultural operations although an increase was seen. Besides, it was observed that while there was increases on soil tillage equipment, maintenance and harvest equipment is needed in particular requiring maximum workforce of olive farming.

A soja tem sido amplamente cultivada no Brasil e no mundo por sua importância alimentar e econômica, que impulsiona diversos complexos agroindustriais. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de arranjos espaciais, simples e fileira dupla, associados a níveis de adubação sobre o desenvolvimento e produtividade da cultivar de soja Anta 82 RR, levando em conta parâmetros produtivos e ecofisiológicos. O experimento foi conduzido na Universidade Federal de Goiás, Regional Jataí, com o delineamento experimental constituído de 10 tratamentos estabelecidos em blocos casualizados, com parcelas subdivididas, em quatro repetições. Cada parcela correspondeu a um nível de adubação com P e K (0, 50, 100, 200 e 400% da dose recomendada) e as subparcelas a dois tipos de arranjos espaciais: simples (0,45 m) e fileira dupla (0,25 x 0,65 m). A dose recomendada de P e K foi 80 kg ha-1 de P2O5 e 80 kg ha-1 de K2O. Durante o período de desenvolvimento da cultura determinou-se a população inicial de plantas, o índice de clorofila Falker, a massa de planta seca, o índice de área foliar, o fator de cobertura e os teores nutricionais das folhas índice. Quando as plantas de soja encontravam-se no estádio R8 foram realizadas as seguintes avaliações: população final de plantas, altura de planta e inserção da primeira vagem, número de vagens e de grãos por planta, número de grãos por vagem, peso de mil grãos e produtividade. A cultivar de soja Anta 82 RR demonstrou pequena resposta para os componentes morfológicos, com o uso de arranjo espacial alternativo. O aumento no nível de adubação, mesmo com doses 2 e 4 vezes maiores que o recomendado, possibilita resposta da soja em produtividade de grãos para os dois arranjos estudados. O arranjo simples proporciona maior produtividade de grãos, independentemente do nível de adubação The soybeans have been broadly cultivated in Brazil and the world due to it`s food and economic importance, that boost many agroindustrial complexes. The objective of this study was evaluate the effect of spatial arrangements, simple and twin rows, associated with different fertilizing levels on the development and yield at Anta 82 RR soybean cultivar. The experiment was carried in Universidade Federal de Goiás, Regional Jataí, with 10 treatments established in a split plot randomized block design, with four replications. Each plot corresponded to one fertilizing level with P and K (0, 50, 100, 200 and 400% of recommended dose) and the sub plots were two spatial arrangements: simple (0,45 m) and twin rows ( 0,25 x 0,65 m). The recommended rate of P and K was 80 kg ha-1 of P2O5 and 80 kg ha-1 of K2O. During the development period of the culture were determined the initial population, Falker chlorophyll index, dry mass, leaf area index, cover factor and nutritional content of the index leaves. When the soybean plants was in growth stage R8 were done the following evaluations: final plant population, plant and first pod insertion height, number of pods and grains per plant, number of grains per pod, mass of thousand grains and yield. The soybean cultivar Anta 82 RR demonstrated small answer for morphological components, with the use alternative spatial arrangements. The increase of fertilizing level, even with rates 2 and 4 times higher than the recommended, allowed soybean response in grain yield for the two studied arrangements. The simple arrangement provides higher grain yield, independently of fertilizing level. Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES

A soja é uma das culturas mais importantes do mundo. Porém, quando cultivada em solos com deficiências de nutrientes sua produtividade é bastante afetada, sendo que o zinco é um dos micronutrientes que mais limita a produção das culturas em diferentes regiões do mundo. Com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito de doses e épocas de aplicação de zinco nas características agronômicas da soja, instalou-se um experimento no município de Ipameri – Goiás, na safra 2014/15. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados, com 10 tratamentos e quatro repetições, dispostos em esquema fatorial 2 x 5, sendo: duas épocas de aplicação de zinco (estádio V9 e R1) e cinco doses (0, 3, 6, 9 e 12 kg ha-1 de zinco), sendo a fonte de zinco utilizada o sulfato de zinco (20% de Zn). A cultivar utilizada foi a M7739 IPRO. O Zn foi aplicado em superfície e distribuído a uma distância de 0,1 m da linha da cultura. Foram avaliadas as seguintes características: teor de zinco foliar, teor de clorofila Spad, altura de planta, diâmetro do caule, altura de inserção da primeira vagem, número de vagens por planta, número de grãos por vagem, número de nós reprodutivos por planta, massa de 100 grãos, produtividade de grãos e qualidade fisiológica das sementes. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Para analisar as influências significativas das doses de Zn sobre as características avaliadas, trabalhou-se com análises de regressão. A adubação com Zn influenciou positivamente o teor foliar de Zn, altura de plantas, diâmetro do caule, altura de inserção da primeira vagem, número de vagens por planta, número de nós reprodutivos por planta, massa de 100 grãos e produtividade de grãos. O teor foliar de Zn, a massa de 100 grãos e a produtividade de grãos apresentaram diferença significativa entre as épocas de aplicação, com resultados superiores para as médias de V9. De acordo com estes resultados recomenda-se a adubação com Zn na cultura da soja. The soybean is one of the most important crops worldwide. However, when grown in soils with nutrient deficiencies the productivity is significantly affected, and Zinc is a micronutrient that most limits the crops production in different regions of the world. Aiming to evaluate the effect of zinc doses and application times on the agronomic characteristics of soybean, an experiment was conducted in the city of Ipameri, Goiás – Brazil, in the season 2014/15. The experimental design was a randomized block with 10 treatments and four replications in a factorial 2 x 5, as follows: two zinc application times (stage V9 and R1) and five doses (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 kg ha-1 of Zinc), and the source of zinc used was zinc sulfate (20% of Zn). The cultivar used was the M7739 IPRO. The Zn was applied on the soil surface and distributed at a distance of 0.1 m from the crop rows. We evaluated the following characteristics: leaf zinc content, Spad chlorophyll content, plant height, stem diameter, the first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, number of reproductive nodes per plant, weight of 100 grains, grain yield and physiological quality of seed. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and the means were compared by Tukey test, at 5% probability. To analyze the significant influence of doses of Zn on the characteristics evaluated, it worked with regression analyzes. The fertilization with Zn positively influenced the leaf Zn content, plant height, stem diameter, the first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of reproductive nodes per plant, weight of 100 grains and grain yield. The leaf Zn content, the weight of 100 grains and grain yield showed significant difference between application times, with superior results to the average V9. According to these results it is recommended to fertilization with Zn in soybean. Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES

Metoda vizualne dijagnostike brza je indikatorska metoda utvrđivanja stanja ishranjenosti biljaka tijekom vegetacije. Primjenjuje se posebice kod profitabilnih biljnih vrsta (povrće, cvijeće) i trajnih nasada. Poljoprivrednici koji se bave proizvodnjim na istom terenu duži niz godina lakše zapažaju simptome poremećaja ishrane i mogu ih lako povezati s promjenama klimatskih uvjeta i agrotehnike, te pravovremeno poduzeti odgovarajuće mjere. Zbog sigurnosti i ekonomičnosti proizvodnje, za određivanje potrebe u gnojidbi uz vizualnu dijagnostiku potrebno je obaviti i analizu biljne tvari. Uzorci biljnog materijala za analizu uzimaju se ovisno o fazi vegetacije, kod mlađih biljaka uzimaju se cijele biljke, a kod starijih pojedini razvijeni dijelovi. Simptomi su jasni samo kod akutnog nedostatka ili suviška, pa je vizualna dijagnostika samo indikator poremećaja. Latentni (skriveni) poremećaji ishrane ne mogu se vizualno primjetiti ili se uočavaju onda kada je već prekasno za intervenciju. Zato je važno pravovremeno uočiti simptome i obaviti potrebne analize. Za interpretaciju rezultata analiza u našoj se zemlji još uvijek koriste strane literaturne vrijednosti. Trebalo bi provesti ispitivanja u našim agroekološkim uvjetima i na našim kultivarima, te formirati jedinstvenu bazu podataka, dostupnu svim proizvođačima. Time bi se pomoglo sustavu odlučivanja u provođenju skupe agrotehničke mjere-gnojidbe., Visual diagnosis is fast method that can provide an indication of the nutritional status of plants during the growing season. It is especially applicable for profitable plant productions (vegetables, flowers) and permanent crops. Farmers who produce on the same field for many years easier notice symptoms of disorders in plant nutrition status and they can be linked to changes in climate conditions and agrotechnical practices, and promptly take appropriate measures. Due to the security and economy of production, to determine fertilizer requirements in addition to visual diagnosis is necessary use the plant tissue analysis. Samples of plant material for analysis shall be taken depending on the stage of growth, related to younger crops whole plants are taken, and for older/permanent crops individual meture parts are collected. The symptoms are cleary seen only if the acute deficiency or excess exists, and visual diagnostic is only the indicator of disorders. Latent (hidden) nitritional disorders can not be visually noticed or perceived so it is often too late for intervention when they occure. Therefore, it is important to timely notice symptoms and carry out the required analysis. For interpretation of the results of plant tissue analysis in our country foreign literature data is still being used. It would be of great importance to conduct research in our environmental conditions and our cultivars, and form a single database, accessible to all producers. This would help in providing decision making system in the implementation of costly agrotehnical measure- fertilization.

RESUMO O Vale do São Francisco constitui o maior produtor nacional de manga em regime irrigado. Na mangueira, além da produtividade, o boro é o nutriente que mais afeta a qualidade dos frutos, e sua deficiência pode provocar distúrbios fisiológicos. Nesse sentido, um experimento foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar a associação do boro com a incidência de frutos de manga Palmer acometidos com desordem fisiológica e seu efeito na produtividade de frutos. Os tratamentos consistiram em sete diferentes manejos de adubação: T1 = Duas fertirrigações com 50 g planta-1 de H3BO3 (adubação do produtor); T2 = T1 + cinco pulverizações com H3BO3 [duas primeiras (0,3%) e demais (0,2%)]; T3 = T1 + cinco pulverizações com H3BO3 [duas primeiras (0,3%) e demais (0,4%)]; T4 = T1 + cinco pulverizações com H3BO3 [duas primeiras (0,3%) e demais (0,6%)]; T5 = T1 + duas pulverizações com H3BO3 (0,3%) + três fertirrigações (10 g planta-1 de H3BO3); T6 = T1 + duas pulverizações com H3BO3 (0,3%) + três fertirrigações (20 g planta-1 de H3BO3); T7 = T1 + duas pulverizações com H3BO3 (0,3%) + três fertirrigações (40 g planta-1 de H3BO3). Os resultados demonstram que há evidências de que a deficiência de boro pode provocar a emissão de frutos acometidos por desordem fisiológica e de que o manejo da adubação boratada é eficiente na redução desse problema e, ainda, influencia a produtividade de manga Palmer, destacando-se que o T2 atingiu produtividade média de 35,62 t ha-1, embora mais estudos sejam necessários para a recomendação de um sistema de manejo adequado para a cultura. ABSTRACT The São Francisco Valley is the largest producer of mango under irrigated conditions. In the mango crop, beyond yield, boron is the micronutrient that most affects the fruit quality and this deficiency can cause physiological disorders. Accordingly, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the association of boron with incidence of physiological disorder in mango fruits cv. Palmer and his effect in the fruit yield. The treatments consisted on seven different fertilization managements: T1 = Two fertirrigations with 50 g plant -1 of H3BO3 (fertilizing of the grower); T2 = T1 + five sprays with H3BO3 [first two (0.3%) and others (0.2%)]; T3 = T1 + five sprays with H3BO3 [first two (0.3%) and others (0.4%)]; T4 = T1 + five sprays with H3BO3 [first two (0.3%) and others (0.6%)]; T5 = T1 + two sprays with H3BO3 (0.3%) + three fertirrigations (10 g plant -1 of H3BO3); T6 = T1 + two sprays with H3BO3 (0.3 %) + three fertirrigations (20 g plant -1 of H3BO3); T7 = T1 + two sprays with H3BO3 (0.3%) + three fertirrigations (40 g plant -1 of H3BO3). There is evidence that boron deficiency can cause the emission of fruits affected by physiological disorder and the management of boron fertilization is effective for reducing this problem and also influences mango fruit yield cv. Palmer, detaching that T2 reached an average yield of 35.62 t ha-1, although more studies are needed to recommend a suitable crop management system.

Climate change in the past but still affected the lives of humans and bees. The yield of honey, among other factors, depends on the climatic conditions. Climate change is happening today, and known in the recent history of mankind, recorded special in the 16th, 17th and 18th century. Also, a big challenge for beekeepers, in recently, happening during 2014 year with a lot of rain. Climatic conditions significantly affect the behavior and survival of bee colonies. It is known that best fertilization, nectar secretion and the largest bee activity occurs at air temperature 17-29°C and relative humidity of 65-75%, with the conditions lack of rainfall during daylight. For the survival of bee colonies in the extreme conditions the greatest role is preparing the hive for overwintering, which begins in late July and early August each year. Proper care and providing good conditions for the queen, form the conditions for the "winter bees" survival and wintering. In years with extreme climatic conditions, it is necessary to provide feeding and bee colonies. Growing of bees is necessary to adjust the climatic conditions in each year. Particular attention should be paid to the preparation of bees for wintering and nutrition during the year when do not have enough natural sources. The aim is to show the important information on the impact of climate change on the survival of bee colonies, and point to the need to adapt breeding bees.

- Abstract
Höstvete är en viktig gröda i svenskt lantbruk och på många gårdar är det grunden i växtföljden. För att grödan ska ge hög avkastning krävs att skötselåtgärder och gödsling anpassas efter rådande förutsättningar och utförs vid rätt tidpunkt. Hur stor skörden blir beror på antalet ax per ytenhet, antal kärnor per ax och kärnvikten. Skördekomponenterna påverkas av kvävetillgången vid olika tidpunkter under höstvetets utveckling och tillväxt. I denna studie har data använts från tre års höstveteförsök, 2013-2015, med 15 olika kväveled i varje försök. Syftet var att undersöka effekten på skörd och olika skördekomponenter av 1) en tidig kvävegiva och 2) kompletteringsgödsling vid olika tidpunkter mellan DC32-55. En tidig kvävegiva och sen en huvudgiva vid DC24, gav lika stor skörd som bara en huvudgiva med eller utan komplettering. I tunnare bestånd (2013) fanns en tendens till större skörd och fler kärnor/m² i de led där mer kväve lagts innan stråskjutningen (120-160 kg N/ha) än i led där endast 80 kg N/ha lagts innan stråskjutning. Mer kväve innan stråskjutningen gynnade sannolikt skottmängden och därmed antal ax per kvadratmeter. Kompletteringsgödsling i DC 32-45 gav ingen skördeökning något av åren, jämfört med en huvudgiva med eller utan en tidig kvävegiva, men proteinhalt och tusenkornvikten blev högre. Kväve i senare stadier missgynnade axantalet men detta kompenserades av fler och tyngre kärnor per ax. Genom att bedöma det totala kvävebehovet med hjälp av N-sensor vid komplettering i DC37-55, kunde såväl skörd som proteinhalt höjas. Merskördar erhölls alla år men variationen var stor och lägre ett torrare år som 2013. Ett högre N- utnyttjandet vid senare kompletteringsgödsling visar att det är bättre att satsa på en kompletteringsgiva än en tidig giva. Försökserien visar att det går utmärkt att flytta kväve till senare delar i grödans utveckling vilket också möjliggöra en bättre anpassning till årets kvävebehov och ett ökat kväveuttnyttjande., Winter wheat is an important crop in Swedish agriculture. To succeed in growing high yielding winter wheat good timing and site specific adjustment of management and fertilization is essential. The yield is determined by number of grains per m2 and thousand grain weight, i.e. the number of ears per m2, number of grains per ear and the grain weight. These yield components are affected by the availability of nitrogen (N) at different growth stages during crop development. In this study data from field trials with 15 different N fertilization treatments in winter wheat performed during 2013-2015 has been used. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect on yield and yield components of: 1) nitrogen applied in early stages, GS 20-23 and 2) nitrogen applied in later stages, GS 32-55. An early N application in combination with a main N application at GS 24 had the same impact on yield as a main N application with or without a late N application. In 2013, when the tiller density was lower (525 plants/m²) than the other years, there was a tendency to higher yield and more grains per/m2 in treatments with higher N-rates before stem elongation (120-160 kg N/ha) compared with where only 80 kg N/ha was applied. More nitrogen before the stem elongation most likely stimulated both tiller production and shoot survival and can explain the higher yield. A late N application at GS 32-45 (after a main N application at GS 24) did not in any year increase yield compared with a main N application with or without an early N application, but thousand grain weight and protein was higher. Nitrogen in later growth stages did not favors the number of ears/m2 but this was compensated for by more and heavier grains per ear. By estimating the nitrogen need in later stages, DC 37-55, by using an N-sensor it was possible to increase both protein and yield. N use efficiency was higher for late N applications compared with early. The results show that it is possible to move an early N applicat

- Abstract
Tidigare har det bara varit aktuellt att proteingödsla sin brödspannmål, men nu börjar fler och fler intressera sig för att proteingödsla sin foderspannmål. Efter de senaste årens höga pris på den importerade sojan och en längre tid med pressad ekonomi för landets grisbönder har gjort att man har behövt börja tänka i andra banor. Syftet med denna studie var att studera om en kvävegödsling i syfte att höja proteinhalten i foderspannmål är lönsamt. För att komma fram till ett resultat har vi använt oss av linjär programmering. Den linjära programmeringen har räknat ut den lösning man tjänar mest på d.v.s. den billigaste foderblandningen. De fodermedel vi har studerat har varit hög eller normal proteinhalt i korn respektive vete, soja och olika aminosyror i syntetisk form. Genom att ändra priserna på vete, korn och soja så har programmeringen ändrat receptet till det billigaste. Vi har då försökt studera hur olika prisrelationer mellan dessa grödor ändrar i foderstaten, och vi har då även kunnat se om programmeringen har valt vete eller korn med högre eller normal proteinhalt. Vi har då kunnat se om det är lönsamt att proteingödsla sin foderspannmål eller inte. Vi har använt oss av två olika proteinnivåer i spannmålen. I vete har vi angett 9 % proteinhalt som normalnivå. På den proteingödslade veten har vi räknat med en proteinhalt på 10,5%. På kornet har vi räknat med en normalnivå på 8 % proteinhalt, och den proteingödslade har haft en proteinhalt på 9,5 %. Mängden kväve som behövs för att höja vetets proteinhalt med 1,5 procentenheter är 40 kg N och för en lika stor höjning i kornet så krävs det 60 kg N. Maskin- och kvävekostnaden har vi kommit fram till är 6 öre/kg för att proteingödsla veten från 9 % proteinhalt till 10,5 % proteinhalt. Att höja kornet från en proteinhalt på 8 % till 9,5 % kostar 10 öre/kg. Dessa extra kostnader läggs på grundpriset för att få fram priset på det proteingödslade vete eller kornet. Vår slutsats är att prisdifferenserna mellan spannm, Previously it has only been necessary to fertilize with nitrogen to cereal with bread quality. Because of the price of the imported soy, used as protein feed, and a long time with low profitability for pig farmers, there is a growing interest to find a cheaper protein sources. Therefore we have studied if it is profitable to fertilize wheat and barley with extra nitrogen at certain times to increase the protein level. In our study we have used linear programming. The linear programming shows witch alternative that is the most profitable, which in this case gives the cheapest feed mix. The animal feedstuffs we have used in our study are wheat, barley, soy meal and some synthetic amino acids. Then we studied how different price relationships between these crops changed the recipes in the feed mixtures for the pigs. We were then also able to see if the programming tool has selected wheat or barley with high or normal protein level. We have used two different levels of protein in the grain. In wheat we used 9% protein as “normal” level. The protein fertilized wheat we gave a protein content of 10.5%. In the barley 8% protein was “normal” level and the protein-fertilized had a content of 9.5% protein. The amount of nitrogen needed to raise wheat protein content of 1.5 percentages is 40 kg N. In barley it takes 60 kg N to increase with 1,5 percentage of protein level. To spread the extra nitrogen plus the nitrogen is estimated to 0.06 SEK/kg wheat to increase the protein content from 9 to 10,5 %. To increase the protein content in barley from 8 to 9,5 % cost 0,1 SEK/kg. These additional costs are added to the basic price for obtaining the price of the protein fertilized wheat or barley. The conclusion of our study is that the variety of price between cereal and soy gives us the results whether it is profitable to fertilize or not. With same price for wheat (1,13 SEK/kg) and barley (1,15 SEK/kg) as today, it is profitable to fertilize the wheat to increase the protein cont

- Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plants. For example, it is required for the transfer of energy, in the photosynthesis and as a component of the phospholipids in the cell membrane. Phosphorus can exist in several different forms, depending on the soil's pH-value. The plant can only absorb the primary (H₂PO₄⁻) and the secondary (HPO₄²⁻) forms, named orthophosphate (OP). Polyphosphate (PP) is a general term for several linked water soluble P molecules. The molecules are linked to each other by oxygen atoms, which determine the molecule's chemical properties and stability. PP are described as good sources of P fertilizers because of their water solubility and high concentration of P, which are said to increase the plant growth capacity by generating a better root system and growth. A more vigorous root system will generate a faster, stronger growth and earlier flower development. Condensed PP are also of interest as a micronutrient carrier. The main question in this study is: can PP contribute to a better growth of plants than OP as a P-source? This paper provides a literature review and results from a greenhouse experiment with the aim to examine PP effect on growth and nutrient uptake. The Greenhouse experiment consisted of irrigation with a solution composed of 66 % PP and 34% as OP. The control was a solution containing 100 % OP applied as monokaliumphosphate KH₂PO₄. Model plants used were Pelargonium x hortorum 'Mårbacka' and Petunia x hybrida 'Origami Watermelon'. The trial continued for six weeks in controlled climate conditions desirable for optimum growth. Factors that were measured during growth and harvest were plant height, branching, leaf and flower development, and root development. Also, nutrient uptake was studied by leaf sample analysis. The results showed no significant difference between PP and control either on growth or on nutrient uptake. The literature aimed to treat and compile the existing information that is published on PP imp

Karlsson, Rickard and Karlsson, Rickard
- Abstract
Halmens användningsområde är en ständigt aktuell fråga och det diskuteras vart den gör bäst nytta: kvar på fältet som jordförbättring, i pannan som bioenergi eller som strö i djurstallar. Många har räknat på halmens ekonomiska värde ur näringsämnessynpunkt, både i Sverige och övriga världen. Halmen kan också ha viktigt biologiskt värde som bör beaktas, särskilt om man inte har tillgång till stallgödsel på sin gård. Halmanvändning är något som intresserar lantbrukare runt om i landet som anser att deras jordar börjar bli allt mer fattiga på maskar, porer och aggregat samtidigt som man upplever att skorpbildning blir allt vanligare och därmed svårare att bruka jorden trots nya jordbearbetningssystem. Enligt en sammanställning som gjorts på uppdrag av naturvårdsverket där tillståndet i svensk åkermark undersöktes med jordprover från 2001-2007 har ca 40 % av mineraljordarna i landet idag en kolhalt som är lägre än 2 % i matjordslagret (0-20 cm). Framförallt i Skåne där jordproverna visade ett medel på 1,5 % kol i matjordslagret (Eriksson et al. 2010). Vintern 2013-2014 anordnades en workshop i Skåne där ett tjugotal lantbrukare deltog. Där fick de bland annat svara på frågor om sina jordars hälsa och bördighet. 75 % av dem uppskattade att de hade ca 2 % kol i matjorden. 100 % svarade att mullhalten är viktig och något som bör arbetas mer ingående för att öka. Endast en tredjedel svarade att de hade gjort riktade insatser för att försöka öka mullhalten. Kol är en av grunderna till allt liv och mullhalten i marken är därför direkt avgörande för odlingsegenskaperna i vår åkermark. En högre mullhalt ökar vattenhållande förmågan och aggregatbildningen i marken. Mull står dessutom för en betydande del av det förråd av näringsämnen till växterna som finns i marken. Därför har en bred litteraturgenomgång genomförts där litteratur från Skandinavien och Europa gåtts igenom för att försöka få svar på min frågeställning. Det är svårt att dra konkreta slutsatser av hur mycket halmen, The use of straw is a frequently discussed topic, in particular as to where it is most useful: left in the field to increase soil organic carbon (SOC), to burn it for bioenergy or as bedding for animals. Many have sought to calculate the economic value of straw, from a nutrient point of view, both in Sweden and worldwide. Straw can also have important biological value for the soil, especially for those farmers who do not have access to animal manure at their farms. Straw utilization is something that interests farmers across Sweden. Many of them believes that their soil experiences decreasing levels of worms, aggregates and pores while they also experience more crusting and difficulties to cultivate the land despite new tillage systems. According to a statement made on behalf of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Sw: Naturvårdsverket), where the state of Swedish farmland was examined from soil samples taken during 2001-2007, about 40% of the mineral soils in the country today have carbon levels of less than 2% in the topsoil (0-20 cm). Especially in southern Sweden where the topsoil samples showed an average carbon level of 1.5% (Eriksson et al. 2010). A workshop with about twenty participating farmers took place in southern Sweden in the winter of 2013-2014, the farmers answered a questionnaire regarding their view on their land and its fertility. 75 % of them claimed to have about 2 % SOC in the topsoil. 100 % said the humus content is important and something that should be worked more thoroughly with in order to increase it. Of all participants, only one third replied that they had made targeted efforts to try to increase the humus content. Carbon is one of the foundations of all life and humus content of the soil is crucial for the growth characteristics of our arable land. Higher humus content increases water holding capacity and aggregate formation in the ground. Humus also stands for a significant portion of the supply of nutrients to the plants in

- Abstract
Arable land supplies food and it is therefore important to develop the production and land-use in a sustainable way. To grow crops for food should be both economical and environmentally sustainable and the soil structure and quality should be taken in consideration when cultivating our land. We need to find new approaches to maintain good soil structure, and minimized tillage systems have many advantages, including costs for the growing of crops, while leaving straw in the fields can reduce erosion and increase the biological activity and humus content of the soil. The texture has two important physical properties when it comes to indicate the soil quality those are aggregate stability and size distribution. The particle size distribution is the most essential physical property which defines the soil texture, and influences the soil properties the most. These two physical properties mentioned above reflects the resistance of soil erosion, especially in no-tillage system, which is why they are the most important factors when it comes to soil quality. The soil structure defines which different types of particles that are stored in the soil and it exert control over the physical, biological and chemical processes. It also explains how and where the particles are located, which is important for how suitable the soil is for growing crops. If the soil has a poor structure, it can affect the nutrient availability and the nutrient uptake negatively and increase the power requirement for tillage, increase the nutrient loss and the denitrification, which is negative from an environmental point of view. Organic matter, tillage system, biological activity etc. matters for the aggregate structure in a soil. There are natural structure building processes, such as root development and drying, but there is also structure depleting processes, which basically all the human activities are. A non-cultivated soil generally has a better structure due to the generally higher content of or

- Abstract
This thesis aims to understand farmers’ decision-making behavior from a socio-psychological perspective. In view of a growing need to rethink and reshape our current production systems towards their original circular nature, processing green waste into biogas offers a realistic potential and is already a growing sector in Sweden. Besides decreasing the need for and the emissions caused by non-renewable resources such as oil for industry and transportation purposes and to lower the amount of waste bound for incineration or landfill, biogas production from organic waste is of great environmental and economic value to farmers and agricultural production alike. Organic fertilizers lower the need for mineral fertilizers and manure that contribute to emissions and unsustainable resource use. The focus of this thesis is, therefore, a farmers’ perspective of the use of the residues from anaerobically digested organic waste for biogas production (digestates). Behavioral studies (Theory of Planned Behavior, Ajzen 2002, 2005 & Lamarque et al., 2014) were applied to qualitatively analyze semi-structured interviews with nine primarily conventional plant production farmers in the region of Skåne, Sweden. To map this complex process of decision-making behavior regarding the use of digestates, two existing models; the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991; 2005) and the 'Socio-cognitive conceptual model of ecosystems feedbacks on farmer behavior' of Pénélope LaMarque (et al., 2014) were integrated and further specified, using iterative analyzes of nine farm case studies in Skåne, Southern Sweden. The goal here was to understand how these concepts were given meaning in the light of a multitude of backgrounds; socio-economic, personal and political contexts were linked with perceptions of soil ecosystem services and the influence of geographical and climatic conditions. Attitudes were constructed by describing the digestates’ expected and experienced advantages and disadvantages. T

- Abstract
Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka vad den nya tekniken radmyllning med kultivator innan sådd har för påverkan på var gödningen placeras i marken. Arbetet har gjorts tillsammans med Väderstad AB. För att kunna besvara frågeställning har vi gjort ett fälttest tillsammans med Väderstad för att se hur gödningsplaceringen blir med olika billhöjder ovanför bearbetningsbotten. Bill i det här arbetet menas munstycket, eller gödningsbillen, på kultivatorpinnen som placerar gödningen i marken. Radmyllning innebär att gödseln myllas i rader nere i marken. Dessa rader behöver inte vara kopplade med utsädesraden. Arbetet inleds med en litteraturgenomgång där radmyllning presenteras och hur radmyllning påverkar grödorna. I litteraturstudien nämns även kort om några vanliga grödor som gödningsmyllning används ihop med. Det kommer att presenteras tre olika maskintillverkares lösningar på liknande produkter för hantering och placering av mineralgödsel med kultivator. Traditionell gödningsplacering har skett innan bearbetning eller efter sådd, alternativt i samband med sådden (kombisådd). Väderstad är ett företag baserat i Väderstad, Östergötland, och har sedan 1960-talet byggt och utvecklat jordbruksredskap för bearbetning och sådd av grödor under svenska förhållanden. Företaget har utvecklat många typer av kultivatorer för olika markförhållanden. Efter att man lanserarat precisionssåmaskinen Tempo med tillhörande gödningsbehållare, som är monterad i fronten på traktorn, har företaget fått många förfrågningar från kunder om det skulle vara möjligt att kombinera gödningsplacering i en kultivator vid en överfart. Resultatet av testerna visar att det är skillnader på de olika placeringshöjderna av billen. Sitter billen högt över bearbetningsbotten så är risken stor att man förlorar precisionen i gödselplaceringen och det blir gödning i hela den bearbetade markprofilen.

This study is done together with Väderstad AB. To answer the question; where the plant nutrients are placed, we have made a field test together with Väderstad to observe how the fertilizer placement changes with different coulter types. Band application, in this case, means that the fertilizer is placed in rows below the soil surface. These rows don’t need to be related to the seed row. The study begins with a literature review where subsurface banding is presented and how this method affects the crop. In the literature review we also present some common crops and how subsurface banding affects plant development. It will be presented three different manufacturers solutions to similar products for the management of subsurface banding with a cultivator. To place fertilizer at a certain depth is of greatest importance in dry areas where you need to add fertilizer where you find most moisture. Traditional fertilizer placement occurred before preparing for seeding or after seeding. The most common way nowadays in Sweden is to fertilize and drill cereals and maize at the same time (subsurface banding) with the seeder. Väderstad is a company based in Väderstad, Östergötland, Sweden, and has since 1962 built and developed agricultural machines for preparing seedbeds and seeding of crops under Swedish conditions. The company has developed many types of cultivators for different soil conditions. After the launch of the “maize” planter Tempo with associated fertilizer container that is placed in the front of the tractor, the company received many requests from customers if it would be possible to combine subsurface fertilizer placement and soil tillage in one pass with Väderstad’s cultivators. The result of our tests shows the differences in the various placement heights of the coulter.

- Abstract
Chronic food insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has become an issue of major concern. An estimated minimum of 25 % of the population suffers from malnutrition, and thousands of people die of hunger everyday. Food insecurity in SSA has been attributed to the fact that 75% of the region’s soils are nutrient deficient, mainly due to nutrient mining. An increasingly growing population has had to face a decreasing agricultural production resulting in food insecurity. Currently, some methods to replenish soil nutrients are being used, including crop rotation,application of animal manure as well as mineral fertilisers. However, these methods have not been sufficient to address the issue of soil nutrient depletion. The aim of this study was to 1) investigate the potential of using black soldier fly (BSF) composted human faeces as a fertiliser for use by smallholder farmers in SSA; and 2) to investigate the perceptions held by people from Africa regarding the use of human faeces in agriculture. The Social-Ecological Systems Framework was used to guide the study; and hard and soft systems methodologies were employed in support of the framework. Pot trials were carried out in the greenhouse using Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris) to investigate the effect of black soldier fly larvae composted human faeces on the availability of nutrients and their uptake by the crop, and the subsequent plant growth; comparing with the effect of mineral fertilisers, black solider fly larvae composted food waste and cow manure. Semistructured interviews were carried out and agricultural experts from Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda were interviewed to see how farmers and consumers would perceive the use of human faeces as a fertiliser to produce their food, and try to understand the reason to their perceptions. It was found that there is no significant difference in yield if crops are fertilised using either BSF composted human faeces or mineral fertiliser (NPK). Furthermore, it was found that most f

- Abstract
New intensified forest management measures are needed in order to meet the increasing demands of bio products. Intensive fertilization has large potential to enhance wood production in already existing forests. By repeatedly fertilizing young stands of Norway spruce, stem volume growth can increase by up to 350 %. Higher levels of forest exploitation are usually associated with loss of biodiversity and new forest management measures should therefore be carefully evaluated before implemented on larger scale. This study examines the immediate effects of intensive fertilization on the beetle community in an intensive managed forest area in southern Sweden. The results show that fertilized stands had 51% more individuals and 23% more species than unfertilized stands. Even though the total abundance and total species richness did not differ statistically between treatments, the results indicate a trend for short term positive effect at stand scale. The results also suggest that there is a difference in the response between functional groups of beetles based on their nutritional ecology. Herbivorous beetles were significantly more abundant and had higher species richness in fertilized stands, likely favored by the enhanced nutrition availability. It was particularly species that primarily foraging on other plant species than trees that differed in abundance between treatments. Predator beetles were also significantly more abundant in fertilized stands and may have been indirectly affected by greater number of potential prey. Cambium consuming beetles showed a significantly higher species richness in fertilized stands. This result is hard to interpret and may have been interfered by the effects of pre-commercial thinning that was performed in one stand during the monitoring period. The results from this study suggests that the beetle community is immediate affected by fertilization. Long term effects and the implication of large scale application should be evaluated before

Nachmansohn, Joachim and Nachmansohn, Joachim
- Abstract
Nutrient leaching causing surface- and groundwater pollution and eutrophication is one of the main environmental problems of modern society. Plant production is among the quantitatively most important sources of nutrient leaching, particularly of nitrogen and phosphorus, which stands in focus in remediating these problems. One of the most important measures to be taken is to apply fertilizers in a correct way to meet the needs of the plants while preventing any nutrients to leach. The rather unnoticed theory and method of the demand-driven fertilization strategy, which means to supply the plant with nutrients according to its momentary demand, was compared with representative fertilization strategies commonly used in current commercial plant production. Then the demand-driven driven strategy was compared with three other strategies in a pot experiment: (1) a linear nutrient supply on a daily basis, (2) an approximately linear nutrient supply added twice a week, and (3) a onetime application with all the fertilizers added in the beginning. Uptake and leaching of N and P was measured for all treatments. The results clearly showed that the demand-driven strategy leached the least and had the highest uptake in relation to the added amount of N and P, and that the onetime application leached the most. It was concluded that the demand-driven strategy had highest potential in amending nutrient leaching, and that further studies most likely would be fruitful., Behovsanpassad gödsling som ger höga skördar utan att belasta miljön Behovsanpassad gödsling I ett kärlförsök jämförde jag en unik och förvånansvärt ouppmärksammad gödslingsmetod kallad behovsanpassad gödsling, som utvecklades vid SLU för ett antal decennier sedan, med traditionell gödsling. Hur olika gödslingsmetoder inverkar på miljön Jag jämförde fyra olika metoder att förse växter med växtnäring och mätte både växternas näringsupptag och näringsläckage vid flera tillfällen under tillväxtperioden. De fyra metoderna var: (1) all växtnäring tillsattes i en giva handelsgödsel när odlingen påbörjades, (2) växtnäring tillsattes med bevattningsvattnet i lika stora småportioner 2 gånger per vecka igenom hela försöket, (3) växtnäring tillsattes med bevattningsvattnet i lika stora småportioner dagligen igenom hela försöket, och (4) växtnäring tillsattes på samma sätt som i (3) med skillnaden att mängden växtnäring varierade med växtens behov, s.k. behovsanpassad gödsling. Solrosplantor i krukor odlades och mängden växtnäring i växterna och i lakvattnet som samlades upp under krukorna analyserades kontinuerligt. Resultaten var entydiga; behovsanpassad gödsling ledde till högst upptag av tillsatt växtnäring och minimerade näringsläckage. Alla former av näringstillförsel via bevattning kan förebygga näringsläckage jämfört med gödsling i fast form. Det som visade sig vara mest optimalt var att fördela gödselgivan under hela växtsäsongen efter växtens behov tillsammans med bevattningen, och minst optimalt var att ge en stor giva handelsgödsel vid ett enda tillfälle vid påbörjat odlingstillfälle. En mycket positiv aspekt är att behovsanpassad gödsling med bevattning dessutom ger lika höga, eller högre skördar, än de andra metoderna. För en professionell odlare måste det finnas en möjlighet att installera en bevattningsanläggning och att det är lönsamt för odlaren att investera i ett sådant system. För hobbyodlaren är det enklare. Han kan tillföra växtnäringen efter behov när ha

Wirell, Fredrik and Wirell, Fredrik
- Abstract
Sewage sludge is rich in nutrients and organic matter, both of which can be useful in the agricultural system. By recycling the nutrients from our excreta, a more sustainable use of nutrients in agriculture can be achieved and the use of mineral fertilizer can thereby be decreased. There are however risks associated with the use of sewage sludge in agriculture, and these must be minimized to guarantee the safety of the environment and general public. The dispersion of heavy metals, organic pollutants and pathogens are the main risk factors generally considered. The focus of this study was on the reduction of pathogens in anaerobically digested, dewatered sewage sludge. Combinations of different temperatures (28.0, 33.0, 38.0, 41.5 and 44.0°C) and additions of urea (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% wet weight) resulted in 20 treatments that were studied for seven days. The effect from added urea and temperature on the reduction of Enterococcus spp., thermo tolerant coliform bacteria (TTC), somatic coliphages and Salmonella spp. was analyzed. Additionally the treatments effect on pH, total nitrogen (N-tot) and total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) concentrations was also analyzed. The efficiency for treatments to reach threshold values proposed for Swedish future legislations concerning the studied organisms was assessed. Treatment temperature had a positive effect on reduction of all studied organisms and added urea had a positive effect on Enterococcus spp. and TTC reduction. Mean log10 reduction for Enterococcus spp. was 2.28 and five of the treatments (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% urea at 44.0°C and 1.5% urea at 38 and 41.5°C) reached proposed (2010) legislative threshold values. Mean log10 reduction of TTC was 4.22 and proposed threshold concentrations were reached using most treatments, only control treatments (no added urea) at 28, 33 and 38°C, and 0.5 and 1.0% urea treatment at 28°C failed to reach proposed concentrations. Mean log10 reduction of somatic coliphages was 1.27 and none of the trea, Avloppsslam innehåller näring och organiskt material som kan vara till nytta som gödselmedel och jordförbättrare i jordbruksmark. Ett mer cykliskt, hållbarare system för användande av växtnäring kan uppnås om andelen mineralgödsel som används inom jordbruket minskas och ersätts med avloppsslam. Det finns risker med användning av slam i jordbruket. Halter av tungmetaller, organiska föroreningar och patogena organismer är de tre huvudsakliga riskerna som rör slamhanteringen. För att slam ska kunna användas på mark där foder och livsmedel odlas måste dessa risker minimeras. Denna studie har undersökt möjligheterna att reducera oönskade organismer i avvattnat förbehandlat avloppslam från kommunala reningsverk. Försök gjordes i 20 kombinationer av olika temperaturer (28.0, 33.0, 38.0, 41.5 och 44.0°C) och tillsatser av urea (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5% våtvikt). Varje behandling pågick i sju dagar och behandlingarnas effekt på enterokocker, termotolleranta koliforma bakterier (TTC), somatiska kolifager och Salmonella spp. i slammet analyserades. Behandlingskombinationernas effekt på slammets pH, koncentration av totalkväve (N-tot) och koncentration av totalt ammoniumkväve (TAN = ammonium (NH4 +) och ammoniak (NH3)) analyserades också. De studerade behandlingarnas förmåga att nå föreslagna framtida gränsvärden för de aktuella organismerna fastställdes. En hög temperatur gav ökad reducering av alla studerade organismer. Tillsats av urea hade en positiv effekt på reducering av enterokocker och TTC. Den genomsnittliga 10log-reduceringen av enterokocker var 2,28 och de föreslagna gränsvärdena för enterokocker nåddes i fem av behandlingarna. För TTC var den genomsnittliga 10log-reduceringen 4,22 och de föreslagna gränsvärdena uppfylldes med de flesta behandlingsmetoderna. Somatiska kolifager reducerades inte till föreslagna gränsvärden med någon av de använda behandlingarna, den genomsnittliga 10log-reduceringen var 1,27. Föreslagna gränsvärden från 2010 uppfylldes med de flesta av stud

Lundström, Anna and Lundström, Anna
- Abstract
Äppleskorv orsakas av svampen Venturia inaequalis och är en av de allvarligaste sjukdomarna i äppelodling. Vid angrepp kan äpplena bli osäljbara vilket är förödande för odlare. I detta arbete redogör jag för olika strategier att undvika äppleskorv. Arbetet är en litteraturstudie och frågan som ställs är ”Vad finns det för olika möjligheter att undvika skorvangrepp i svenska äppelodlingar?” Svaret på frågan om hur man kan undvika äppleskorv handlar om odlingsteknik, odlingsprognoser/skorvvarning och växtförädling. Odlingsteknik innebär att välja rätt odlingsplats, välja motståndskraftiga/resistenta sorter, beskära träd, tänka på näringstillförsel, och sanering av infekterade blad. Odlingsprognoser/skorvarning hjälper odlare att se när risken för skorvangrepp är som störst, så att användning av fungicider kan minimeras. Växtförädling av nya sorter är viktigt för att odlare skall kunna välja bra, motståndskraftiga sorter att odla. Att hitta nya alternativ till fungicider som har mindre negativ miljö- och humanpåverkan är viktigt för framtiden då det är omöjligt att helt sluta bekämpa äppleskorv. Detta på grund av att resistensbrott lättare inträffar om svampen har chans att uppförökas vid obesprutade, mer mottagliga äppleträd och därefter kunna attackera även den resistenta sorten. Även på grund av att fungicider som används mot äppleskorv motverkar andra svampsjukdomar., Apple scab is caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis and is one of the most serious diseases in apple cultivation. If apples are infested they are unmarketable which is devastating to growers. In this work, I investigate which strategies farmers can use to avoid apple scab. The work is a literature and the question how being asked is: "What are the different options to avoid scab infestation in Swedish apple orchards?" The answers to the question of how to avoid apple scab is about cultivation technology, crop forecasting/scab warning and plant breeding. Cultivation technology means choosing the right cultivation site, select resistant varieties, crop the trees, and think about nutrition and sanitation of infected leaves. Cultivation forecast/scab warning helps growers to see when the risk from scab is large, so that the use of fungicides can be minimized. Plant breeding of new varieties is important for growers to be able to select good resistant varieties. To find new alternative to fungicides which have less negative environmental and human impacts are important for the future since it is impossible to completely stop spraying against apple scab. This is because resistances breaks downs easier occurs if the fungus has the chance to be increased at unsprayed, more susceptible apple trees and then be able to attack even the resistant variety. Also, because the fungicides used against apple scab are effective to other fungal diseases.

- Abstract
I boreala skogar begränsas trädens tillväxt av olika ståndortsfaktorer och främst är det temperatur, tillgång till solljus, vatten och mineralnäring som utgör hinder. Makronäringsämnet kväve är det mineralnäringsämne som till stor del begränsar tillväxten i nordliga barrskogar. Etablering av den nya föryngringen är som mest känslig de tio första åren och ju större plantan blir desto bättre blir chanserna till överlevnad. Sådd som föryngringsmetod kantas av stor fröåtgång och osäkra föryngringsresultat vilket resulterat i utvecklandet av SweTree Technologies SeedPAD koncept. Konceptet består i användandet av ett förädlat plantagefrö inkapslat i en påse med ett hygroskopiskt material i syfte att öka plantbildningen och därmed minska frömängden, öka etableringsandelen och möjliggöra en förädlingsvinst. I denna studie utfördes tre försök i syfte att utröna om tillförsel av olika kväveformer påverkar den tidiga tillväxten. Två försök utfördes i fält med SeedPAD och ettåriga täckrotsplantor och ett försök i växthus med enbart SeedPAD. Totalt testades sex olika behandlingsalternativ i fält och tre i växthusförsöket. I växthuset testades även tre olika nivåer per behandlingsalternativ. Mätningar utfördes efter fyra månader med avseende på etablering, tillväxt samt kväveinnehåll. Överlevnaden var mycket god oavsett behandling i fält. Av alla behandlingsalternativ för SeedPAD var det endast ett alternativ som gav signifikanta tillväxtskillnader i både fält- och växthusförsöket. För SeedPAD i fält uppmättes en dubblering i tillväxt vid jämförelse med de ogödslade substraten och i växthuset en femfaldig ökning. För täckrotsplantorna uppmättes i genomsnitt 30 procents tillväxtökning för de gödslade plantorna. De var behandlade med ett kvävealternativ som inte gav någon tillväxtökning för SeedPAD. Procentuell rottillväxt skiljde sig inte signifikant åt mellan gödslade och ogödslade substrat. Resultaten i denna studie visar att det finns stor potential till förbättrad tillväxt und, Tree growth in boreal forests is limited by various site factors. Temperature, available sunlight, water and mineral nutrition are critical factors when establishing a new generation of seedlings. In these forest ecosystems, nitrogen is the factor most often restricting growth. The first ten years are the most sensitive ones when regenerating with sowing. About half of the established seedlings year one will have died at year ten. Bigger plants have greater chances of survival and successfully establish a new regeneration. Sowing as regeneration method is known for its doubtful establishment results, resulting in the development of SweTree Technologies SeedPAD concept. The concept consists of a refined seed in a package with a hygroscopic material promoting survival establishment and hence enabling reduction of the number of seeds per hectare. This would then enable use of high-value seed sources. Three different experiments were made in order to determine whether different nitrogen sources affect the early growth. Two field experiments was performed with SeedPAD and one-year-old seedlings. The third experiment was performed on SeedPAD in a greenhouse. Six different nitrogen combinations were tested in the field experiments and three combinations in the greenhouse experiment. Different levels of nitrogen fertilization were also tested in the greenhouse experiment. After four months’ measurements were performed regarding establishment, growth and nitrogen supply. The survival of SeedPAD seedlings was very good regardless of treatment in the field experiment. All experiments showed clear significant growing differences depending on the specific nitrogen treatment. Of all combinations for SeedPAD only one treatment showed significant difference. In the field experiments with SeedPAD a doubling of growth was measured for one nitrogen treatment in comparison with the untreated SeedPADs and in the greenhouse experiment the growth was five times as high as for untreated se

O objetivo com este trabalho foi verificar o efeito da aplicação de composto orgânico e da compactação de dois solos na matéria seca (MS) e nos macronutrientes da parte aérea do milho (Zea mays) cultivar Itapuã 700. Visando aprimorar este estudo se aplicaram, em 54 vasos, três doses de composto orgânico resultante do processamento de resíduos da Central de Abastecimento (CEASA), em dois solos, sendo um Argissolo Vermelho Escuro (AVE) e o outro Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo (AVA), coletados no horizonte Ap, na profundidade de 0 a 0,20 m, e sob três níveis de compactação formando um arranjo fatorial 2 × 3 × 3, com três repetições. As variáveis avaliadas foram biomassa seca e teores de N, P, K, Ca e Mg da parte aérea do milho. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a compactação do solo não afetou o crescimento do milho mas a adubação com o composto orgânico promoveu acúmulo de K e Ca e redução de Mg nas plantas. O teor de cálcio no milho aumentou com a adubação orgânica, no solo AVE, ocorrendo o contrário com o solo AVA. The objective of the this study was to evaluate the effect of organic compost and compaction levels of two soils on shoot dry weight and macronutrient contents of corn (Zea mays), cultivar Itapoã 700. In 54 pots, three doses of the processed organic compost residue from Recife Central Market were applied in two soils, one being a dark red Argissoil (DRA) and the other a yellow red Argissoil (YRA), collected in Ap horizon (0 to 0.20 m depth) and under three compaction levels in a factorial arrangement 2 × 3 × 3 with three replications. Shoot dry matter and N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents were evaluated. The results indicate that soil compaction does not affect corn growth. The organic compost application increased K and Ca but decreased Mg content in shoots. Calcium content in corn shoot increased with the organic compost in DRA soil, but was found to decrease in YRA soil.

Com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho agronômico de nove cultivares de milho, sendo cinco destinadas ao cultivo com baixo investimento e quatro cultivares destinadas ao cultivo sob condições de alto investimento, foram conduzidos dois experimentos no ano agrícola 2004/2005, em Lavras, MG. Em um dos experimentos, utilizou-se a densidade de semeadura de 55.000 plantas ha-1 e, no outro, 65.000 plantas ha-1. Em cada experimento, as nove cultivares de milho foram avaliadas em três níveis de adubação: (1) 300 kg ha-1 de 8-28-16 na semeadura, mais 200 kg ha-1 de 30-00-20, em cobertura; (2) 400 kg ha-1 de 8-28-16 na semeadura, mais 300 kg ha-1 de 30-00-20, em cobertura e (3) 500 kg ha-1 de 8-28-16 na semeadura, mais 300 kg ha-1 de 30-00-20 e 150 kg ha-1 de uréia, em cobertura. Os resultados permitiram concluir que a adubação de 500 kg ha-1 de 8-28-16 na semeadura, mais 300 kg ha-1 de 30-00-20 na primeira cobertura e 150 kg ha-1 de uréia na segunda cobertura proporciona aumento significativo na produtividade de grãos e na altura das plantas. O aumento da densidade de semeadura de 55.000 plantas ha-1 para 65.000 plantas ha-1 não influenciou a produtividade de grãos, mas, interferiu na altura de plantas e de espigas e na prolificidade. As cultivares destinadas ao alto investimento apresentam maior prolificidade, maior altura de planta e maior produtividade de grãos do que as cultivares destinadas ao baixo investimento. With the aim of evaluating the agronomic traits in nine maize cultivars, five being considered for cultivation of low investment and four maize crops considered for high investment, two trials were carried out in the agricultural year 2004/2005, in Lavras, MG. One of the trials was carried out with plant density of 55.000 plants ha-1 and the other, 65.000 plants ha-1. In each trial the nine maize crops were carried out in three fertilizing levels: (1) 300 kg ha-1 of an 8-28-16 formula at the sowing date, with an additional 200 kg ha-1 of a 30-00-20 formula, for covering; (2) 400 kg ha-1 of 8-28-16 at the sowing date, with an additional of 300 kg of 30-00-20, for covering; (3) 500 kg ha-1 of 8-28-16 at the sowing date, with an additional of 300 kg ha-1 of 30-00-20 and 150 kg ha-1 of N, for covering. The results allowed concluding that fertilizing with 500 kg ha-1 of 8-28-16 at the sowing date, with an additional 300 kg ha-1 of 30-00-20 and 150 kg ha-1 of N, for covering, the maize crops showed expressive increase in the productivity of grains and plant height. The increase of plant density from 55.000 plants ha-1 to 65.000 plants ha-1 did not influence the productivity of the grains, but interfered in the plant height, ear length, and prolificacy. The maize crops of high input showed higher prolificacy, higher plant height and higher productivity of grains in relationship to the crops of low investment.

O objetivo com este trabalho foi verificar o efeito da aplicação de composto orgânico e da compactação de dois solos na matéria seca (MS) e nos macronutrientes da parte aérea do milho (Zea mays) cultivar Itapuã 700. Visando aprimorar este estudo se aplicaram, em 54 vasos, três doses de composto orgânico resultante do processamento de resíduos da Central de Abastecimento (CEASA), em dois solos, sendo um Argissolo Vermelho Escuro (AVE) e o outro Argissolo Vermelho Amarelo (AVA), coletados no horizonte Ap, na profundidade de 0 a 0,20 m, e sob três níveis de compactação formando um arranjo fatorial 2 × 3 × 3, com três repetições. As variáveis avaliadas foram biomassa seca e teores de N, P, K, Ca e Mg da parte aérea do milho. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a compactação do solo não afetou o crescimento do milho mas a adubação com o composto orgânico promoveu acúmulo de K e Ca e redução de Mg nas plantas. O teor de cálcio no milho aumentou com a adubação orgânica, no solo AVE, ocorrendo o contrário com o solo AVA.The objective of the this study was to evaluate the effect of organic compost and compaction levels of two soils on shoot dry weight and macronutrient contents of corn (Zea mays), cultivar Itapoã 700. In 54 pots, three doses of the processed organic compost residue from Recife Central Market were applied in two soils, one being a dark red Argissoil (DRA) and the other a yellow red Argissoil (YRA), collected in Ap horizon (0 to 0.20 m depth) and under three compaction levels in a factorial arrangement 2 × 3 × 3 with three replications. Shoot dry matter and N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents were evaluated. The results indicate that soil compaction does not affect corn growth. The organic compost application increased K and Ca but decreased Mg content in shoots. Calcium content in corn shoot increased with the organic compost in DRA soil, but was found to decrease in YRA soil.

O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de densidades de plantio e doses de biofertilizante comercial na produção de capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus (D.C.) Stapf). O experimento foi implantado em parcelas subdivididas com três repetições, colocando-se nas parcelas as densidades de plantio (33.333, 49.382, 55.555 e 111.111 plantas ha-1) e nas subparcelas as doses de biofertilizante (0; 20; 40 e 60 t ha-1). Foram realizadas nove colheitas em intervalos de 42 dias. Avaliou-se a sobrevivência, a altura de planta, o número de perfilhos por touceira, a massa seca por touceira e da parte aérea, o teor e o rendimento de óleo essencial. O teor de óleo essencial não foi influenciado pelas densidades de plantio e doses de biofertilizante. A densidade crescente resultou em regressões lineares crescentes para o rendimento de óleo essencial e a massa seca da parte aérea e em uma regressão linear decrescente para a massa seca por touceira. A dose de biofertilizante resultou em regressões lineares crescentes para o rendimento de óleo essencial e a massa seca por touceira e da parte aérea. A densidade de 111.111 plantas ha-1 (0,30 x 0,30 m) e a dose de biofertilizante de 60 t ha-1 no primeiro ano de cultivo poderão ser recomendados para produção do capim-limão.The aim of this work was to evaluate the plant density and biofertilizer levels on lemon grass (Cymbopogom citratus (D.C.) Stapf). The experiment was installed in split plot design with three replications, having plant density as plots (33,333; 49,382; 55,555 and 111,111 plants ha-1) and biofertilizer doses as sub plots (0; 20; 40; 60 t ha-1 year-1). Nine cuttings were realized using an interval of 42 days between cuttings. We evaluated survival, plant height, number of tillers per plant, dry weight per plant and of biomass yield, essential oil content and yield. The essential oil content was not influenced by the plant densities and biofertilizer doses. The crescent density resulted in a crescent linear regression for essential oil yield and dry weight of biomass yield and in a declining linear regression for dry weight per plant. The biofertilizer dose resulted in a crescent linear regression for essential oil yield and dry weight per plant and of biomass yield. The plant density of 111.111 plants per hectare (0.30 x 0.30 m) and the biofertilizer dose of 60 t ha-1 year-1 can be recommended for lemon grass production in the first year.

Načrtno gnojenje krompirja na podlagi analiz postaja edina priporočena praksa. Na posestvu UKC Pohorski dvor Maribor smo izvedli enoletni poskus po naključnem bloku v štirih ponovitvah. Poskus je vključeval pet sort krompirja 'Carlingford', 'Frisia', 'Desiree', 'Romano' in 'Cvetnik' in tri različne ciljne vrednosti dušika: 133, 153 in 173 kg N ha-1. Za kontrolno obravnavanje smo pri vsaki sorti uporabili obravnavanje brez dodanega dušika (0 kg N ha-1). Med rastno dobo krompirja je bil analiziran indeks listne površine, višina rastline in število stebel na posameznem obravnavanju. Ob spravilu smo pridelek gomoljev stehtali in sortirali po debelini na drobne, srednje debele in debele gomolje. Ciljna vrednost 173 kg N ha-1 ima statistično značilen vpliv na pridelek krompirja (31,0 kg 10 m-2), med posameznimi ciljnimi vrednostmi N pa ni razlik (obravnavanje 133 in 153 N, pridelek 25,4 in 24,6 kg 10 m-2 ). Pri morfoloških lastnostih je največji indeks listne površine dosežen pri obravnavanju 173 kg N ha-1 (2,7). Na višino rastlin in število stebel imata sorti in ciljne vrednosti statistično značilen vpliv. Največja višina je dosežena pri sorti 'Carlingford' (64,3 cm) in pri obravnavanju 153 kg N ha-1 (58,1cm), največje število stebel pa pri sorti 'Desiree' (4,9) in pri obravnavanju 173 kg N ha-1 (5,0). Systematic fertilization of potato on the basis of analysis becomes the only recommended practice. We performed an one-year experiment in randomized block system with four repetitions at the estate of the University of Agriculture Centre Pohorski dvor (UKC). The experiment included five varieties of potatoes: 'Carlingford', 'Frisia', 'Desiree', 'Romano' and 'Cvetnik' and three different target levels of nitrogen in the soil: 133, 153, 173 kg N ha-1. For the control treatment no nitrogen was added to the soil for each individual variety (0 kg N ha-1). During the growing season of potatoes, we analyzed the leaf area index, plant height and the number of stems in a particular test area. At harvest, the tuber crops were weigted and sorted according to the thickness into small, medium, and large tubers. The target value of 173 kg N ha-1 had a significant impact on the potato yield (31.0 kg 10 m-2), while there was no difference between the target values of treatment 133 N and 153 N, which resulted in the yield of 25,4 and 24,6 kg 10 m-2. In the morphological characteristics, the largest leaf area index is achieved in the treatment of 173 kg N ha-1 (2.7). The variety and the target value have had a significant impact on the plant height and the number of stems. The maximum height was achieved in the variety 'Carlingford' (64.3cm) and by applying the treatment of 153 kg N ha-1(58.1), the largest number of stems was achieved in the 'Desiree' variety (4.9) and by applying the treatment of 173 kg N ha-1 (5.0).

[EN] Nitrate accumulation in leafy vegetables, as endives, Cichorium endivia L, could be influenced by nitrogen source supplied in the fertilizing. That is why it established as the objective of this experiment compares the influence of three fertilizing, with the same amount of nitrogen, three different with three ratios Ammonium /Nitrate different (N0:0/13; N5:0,65/12,32; N10: 1,30/11,72 mmol L-1 ), on the nitrates accumulation in leaves and the obtained final production. Also one tried to determine the evolution of different physiological parameters and of quality along the cultivation cycle. Also, it was about to elucidate, if the measurements realized with the SPAD and the colorimeter can to be included like effective hardware for the nitrates estimation in endive leaves. For all this, using cultivating of escarole ‘Cuartana‘ – of wide leave - it was analyzed periodically (0, 14, 28,42 days after the transplant) the evolution of different physiological parameters and of quality (content of chlorophylls (SPAD), (reflectometry) nitrates, nitrogen (Kjeldahl), phosphorus (colorimeter) and color of the leaves (scale CIELab)), and at the end of the cultivation, there were valued the percentage of commercial plants, its middleweight and the incidence of different fisiopatías ("tipburn" and increase to premature flower). The increase of the concentration of ammonium supposed an increase of the values of SPAD (content in chlorophylls) and a decrease of the parameters of color a* and b*. The values of SPAD increased with the development of the cycle, what was joined to a decrease of the yellow color (parameter b*). The increase of the concentration of ammonium did not decrease the accumulation of nitrates, which was increasing on having advanced the cycle., [ES] El objetivo de este trabajo pretende establecer la influencia de la relación Nitrato/Amonio en las soluciones nutritivas, en la acumulación de de nitratos en hoja de escarola, así como en la producción obtenida. También se pretendió determinar la evolución de distintos parámetros fisiológicos y de calidad a lo largo del ciclo de cultivo. Material: se ha llevado a cabo un ciclo de cultivo primaveral con escarola de hoja ancha, cv. `Cuartana'.La plantación definitiva, bajo invernadero y en condiciones de hidroponía, se llevo a cabo en macetas de 8L, rellenas con una mezcla de perlita y fibra de coco (50-50).

Zdruţivanje (Intercropping), gajenje dve ili više razliĉitih vrsta na istoj površini u toku iste proizvodne sezone, jedan od prvih sistema gajenja biljaka u organizovanoj poljoprivredi, kroz istoriju ljudskog društva, opstalo je kao odrţivo rešenje koje se i danas, primenjuje u proizvodnji hrane za ljude i domaće ţivotinje. Cilj ovog istraţivanja bio je da se ispita uticaj zdruţivanja, Ċubrenja i rokova setve na morfološke osobine i komponente prinosa boranije i uticaj Ċubrenja i rokova setve na prinose boranije, cvekle, zelene salate, rotkvice, crnog luka i rotkve, kao i produktivnost zdruţenih useva boranije s navedenim vrstama povrća. Poljski mikroogled, postavljen po sluĉajnom blok sistemu u ĉetiri ponavljanja, u toku tri vegetacione sezone (2009 - 2011. godine), obavljen je na oglednom polju Instituta za povrtarstvo (Smederevska Palanka, 102 m nadmorske visine, 44o22’ severne geografske širine i 20o57’ istoĉne geografske duţine). Tretman zdruţivanja obuhvatio je zdruţene useve boranije i cvekle, boranije i zelene salate, boranije i rotkvice, boranije i crnog luka, boranije i rotkve i ĉist usev boranije. Tretmani Ċubrenja bili su kontrolni tretman bez Ċubrenja, tretmani mikrobiološkim, mineralnim Ċubrivom i stajnjakom. Svi tretmani ispititvani su u dva roka setve, prolećnom i letnjem. Praćene su morfološke i produktivne osobine boranije: visina biljke, visina do prve mahune, masa biljke, broj mahuna po biljci, prinos mahuna po biljci, duţina mahune, masa mahune, prinos mahuna po jedinici površine, ţetveni indeks. Praćene su i hemijske osobine boranije, sadrţaj suve materije i sadrţaj pepela u mahuni boranije, kao i prinosi zdruţenih useva koji su korišćeni za izraĉunavanje LER indeksa. Proseĉna visina biljke boranije bila je 35,83 cm, a proseĉna visina do prve mahune 14,15 cm. Na visinu biljke statistiĉki znaĉajno su uticali faktori zdruţivanja, Ċubrenja i roka setve, a na variranje visine do prve mahune Ċubrenje, rok setve i interakcija ova dva faktora... Intercropping, growing two or more different crops on the same field during one production season is one of the first systems of plant growing in organized agriculture. Through the history of human society, it survived as a sustainable solution, which can be used in production of food or food, even today. The goal of this research was to examine the effects of intercropping, fertilization and sowing dates on morphological traits and productive components of green bean and the effect of fertilization and sowing dates on productivity of green bean, beetroot, letuce, radish, onion and white winter radish, as the productivity of green bean intercropped with previously mentioned vegetables. A field trial set up in a random block system with four repetitions, during three vegetative seasons (2009 – 2011), was done on an experimental field of the Institute of vegetable crops (Smederevska Palanka, 102 m above sea level, 44o22’ north latitude and 20o57’east longitude). The intercropping treatment included intercropped beetroot and green bean, letuce and green bean, radish and green bean, onion and green bean, white winter radish and green bean, and a sole crop of green bean. Fertilization treatments used were: control treatment without fertilization, microbiological and mineral fertilizers and farm yard manure. All the treatments were examined for two sowing periods, spring and summer. Morphological and productive characteristics of green bean were followed: plant height, first pod height, plant weight, number of pods per plant, pod yield per plant, pod length, pod weight, pod yield per area unit, harvest index. Chemical properties, dry matter and ash content were also monitored, along with the yield of intercropped species used to calculate LER index. Average plant weight was 35.83 cm, average first pod height 14.15 cm. Plant height was significantly affected by the factors of intercropping, fertilization and sowing date, variations of first pod height were affected by the sowing date, fertilization and interaction of these two factors...

However, its production can be affected by several management factors, such as planting density, fertilizing, cutting intensity and other factors. The objective was to evaluate the morphological and productive characteristics of the forage cactus cv. (small) on different cropping systems. The assessments were performed in two experiments conducted at the Experimental Station José Nilson de Melo belonging to Agronomic Institute of Pernambuco (IPA), located in City of Caruaru-PE. In Experiment 1, the cactus cv (small) was cultivated under different planting densities and cutting intensities in randomized block design with a split-plot experimental arrangement, with four repeats, in the period from January to September 2014.The main plot was formed by planting densities (10,417; 20,833; 41,666 e 83,333 plants há-1) and the subplots, by cutting intensities (preservation of primary or secondary cladodes). In Experiment 1, was evaluated levels of organic and mineral fertilizing, in randomized block design with a split-plot experimental arrangement. The main plot was evaluated in terms of organic fertilizer levels of (0, 10, 20 e 30 OM t/ha/year) and subplots, for the nitrogen chemical fertilization levels of (0, 120, 240 e 360 kg N/ha/year) with four repeats from October 2013 to October 2014. In both experiments, the traits evaluated were height and width of the plant, number of cladodes per plant and per order, dimensions of cladodes (length, width, perimeter and thickness), productivity (DMP) t DM/ha-1year-1and the cladode area index (CAI). In experiment 1, greater heights (68.3 cm) and width (80.8 cm) were obtained in plants which cutting intensities based on the preservation of the secondary cladodes. Increased planting density caused a linear reduction in the number of cladodes per plant to the two cutting intensities tested. Increasing the evaluation period led to increments in the morphological characteristics of the spineless cactus. There were no effects (P

The effect of crop rotation and the application of fertilisers on maize yield were investigated in a 12-year study (1998-2009) on the chernozem soil type at Zemun Polje, Serbia. The treatments included four cropping systems: continuous maize cropping (CS1); two crop rotation: maize - soybean (CS2) and maize - winter wheat (CS3), and three crop rotation maize - winter wheat - soybean (CS4) and the following fertilising treatments for maize: F1 - no fertiliser, F2 - 180 kg ha(-1) NPK, F3 - 270 kg ha(-1) NPK and F4 - 360 kg ha(-1) NPK. The amount of applied nitrogen fertiliser in soybean was twice lower than in maize. The grain yield, on the average for all years, was the lowest (5.37 t ha(-1)) in continuous maize cropping. In a dominant type of the cropping system in Serbia (CS3), the maize grain yield was 6.82 t ha(-1) and in CS2, was higher (7.60 t ha(-1)), even though the amount of nitrogen fertilisers applied, was lower by 50%. The highest average yield was obtained in CS4 (9.03 t ha(-1)). The application of fertilisers generally significantly influenced maize yield in comparison with control. These results favoured cropping systems with legumes preceded maize due to lower investments necessary to obtain higher yields.

Den huvudsakliga uppgiften för reningsverk har alltid varit att rena avloppsvatten. Under denna process avskiljs slam, vilket under en lång tid betraktats som en oönskad biprodukt. Under många år använde man slam som gödselmedel inom jordbruk samt att man använda slammet vid sluttäckning av deponi. Idag ser situationen annorlunda ut. Man har fått en ökad insikt i hållbarhetsfrågor och resurshantering, samt att det under 1990-talet kom ett deponeringsförbud. Slamhantering har under en lång tid varit ett kontroversiellt ämne och blivit föremål för debatt. Detta har lett till att under de senaste 10-15 åren har blivit en viktig fråga att hitta alternativa vägar för en nyttig användning av slammet. Slammets kvalitet och dess innehåll av föroreningar speglas av de som är uppkopplade på ledningsnätet och för att minska miljöriskerna krävs det ett aktivt uppströmsarbete. Edsbyns reningsverk skickar i dagsläget iväg sitt slam för sluttäckning av deponi på BORAB:s avfallsanläggning i Sävstaås, Bollnäs. Den deponi som håller på att täckas idag är inom en snar framtid färdigtäckt vilket leder till att BORAB inte kan ta emot mer slam. Detta medför att alternativa metoder för slamhantering för Edsbyns reningsverk måste identifieras. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka och utvärdera fyra olika slamhanteringsmetoder för Edsbyns reningsverk utifrån rådande lagstiftning, kostnader, energiförbrukning samt miljörisker. Studien undersöker också åtgärder som kan göras uppströms för att förbättra slammets sammansättning och minska miljöriskerna. Resultaten visar bland annat att samtliga metoder ger upphov till ökad risk för läckage och upplagring av näringsämnen och tungmetaller, framför allt Koppar och Zink. Miljöriskerna kan dock minimeras med ett aktivt uppströmsarbete, exempelvis genom samarbete och genom att ställa krav på industrier och andra organisationer samt att förbättra informationen till hushåll, skolor etc. Studien visar också att den billigaste avsättningmetoden är gödsling av jordbruksmark och den dyraste är gödsling på skogsmark. Den senare är också mest energikrävande av alla avsättningsmetoder. I dagsläget uppfyller reningsverket de lagkrav som ställs på produkten gällande metallhalterna i slammet. Gränsvärdena uppfylls med god marginal, både de lagstadgade (SFS 1998:944) om förbud m.m. i vissa fall i samband med hantering, införsel och utförsel av kemiska produkter, men också kraven enligt certifieringssystemen REVAQ och SPCR 148. Utrustning för kalkning och slamlagring finns på plats vilket gör att man kan uppfylla produktkraven som ställs för användning på jordbruksmark. Det bästa alternativet för Edsbyns reningsverk på längre sikt är att försöka återföra slammet till jordbruksmark för att uppnå ett fullständigt kretslopp av näringsämnen. I Ovanåkers kommun finns det stora arealer jordbruksmark vilket skapar goda förutsättningar för denna avsättningsmetod. På kort sikt är anläggningsjord ett bra alternativ utifrån kostnads- och energisynpunkt och kan vid samarbete med kommunen reducera kostnaderna och energiförbrukningen avsevärt. The main purpose of treatment plants has always been to purify wastewater. During this process sludge is separated, which for a long time has been regarded as an unwanted byproduct. For many years sludge was used as a fertilizer in agriculture, and final cover of landfills. Today the situation is different. It has been an increased awareness of sustainability issues and resource management, as well since there came an landfill ban in 1990s. Sludge treatment has for a long time been a controversial topic and a subject of debate. This has led to that in the last 10-15 years this has become an important issue, to find alternative ways for a beneficial use of sludge. Sludge quality and the amount of impurities are mirrored by those who are connected to the grid and to reduce environmental risks requires an active work upstreams. Edsbyns treatment plant sends their sludge for use as final cover of a landfill on BORAB's waste facility in Sävstaås, Bollnäs. The landfill that is currently being covered today will in the near future be finished which means that they will be unable to recieve any more sludge. This means that alternative methods of sludge treatment for Edsbyns treatment plant must be identified. The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate four different sludge management methods for Edsbyns treatment plant based on current laws, costs, energy consumption and environmental risks. The study also examines measures that can be done upstream to improve the composition of the sludge and reduce environmental impact. The results show that all methods give rise to increased risk of leakage and accumulation of nutrients and heavy metals, particularly copper and zinc. Environmental risks can be minimized with an active upstream work, for example through cooperation and by imposing requirements on industries and other organizations, as well as improve information for households, schools, etc. The study also shows that the cheapest deposition method is fertilization of agricultural land and the most expensive is fertilization of forest land. The latter is also the most energy intensive of all methods that were studied. Today the treatment plant meet the legal requirements for the product regarding metal content in the sludge. The limits are met by a good margin, both legislated (SFS 1998: 944) om förbud m.m. i vissa fall i samband med hantering, införsel och utförsel av kemiska produkter, but also the requirements of the certification systems REVAQ and SPCR 148. Equipment for liming and storage is in place which allows the treatment plant to meet the product requirements set for use on agricultural land. The best option for Edsbyns treatment plants in long term is to use the sludge on agricultural land in order to achieve a complete nutrient cycling. In Ovanåker municipality there are large areas of farmland which creates good conditions for this deposition method. In the short term, soil production is a good option based on cost and energy and may reduce costs and energy consumption significantly if cooperation with the municipality is established.

An increased rate of decomposition has been observed in a large number of raised bogs in southern Sweden and elsewhere since the 1970s. The effect is manifest as a discoloured and mucous subsurface peat layer, and there is associated subsidence of mire surfaces. This paper reports the results of a systematic investigation of the phenomenon in 14 raised bogs in southern Sweden, which was carried out between 1997 and 2005. Degree of decomposition, bulk density and ash content were measured and evidence of surface subsidence over recent decades was collected. Shallow peat layers of ‘normal’ appearance could not be found anywhere within the study sites, and all showed the same signs of secondary decomposition. In particular, the ombrotrophic parts of the Komosse Bog Complex appeared to have subsided by at least 150 mm over the last 35 years, i.e. at a rate of approximately 4.3 mm per annum, which is more than four times the average rate of peat formation in circumboreal raised bogs. The changes observed could have been caused by change in any one of a number of factors, e.g. climate, hydrology and rate of nutrient supply; or by a combination of such factors. However it seems most likely that they are attributable to the heavy modern nutrient load, e.g. of dust from anthropogenic sources. There is cause for concern that many high-latitude peatlands may consequently have switched over from being net sinks, to net sources, of atmospheric carbon.

- Abstract
Zdruţivanje (Intercropping), gajenje dve ili više razliĉitih vrsta na istoj površini u toku iste proizvodne sezone, jedan od prvih sistema gajenja biljaka u organizovanoj poljoprivredi, kroz istoriju ljudskog društva, opstalo je kao odrţivo rešenje koje se i danas, primenjuje u proizvodnji hrane za ljude i domaće ţivotinje. Cilj ovog istraţivanja bio je da se ispita uticaj zdruţivanja, Ċubrenja i rokova setve na morfološke osobine i komponente prinosa boranije i uticaj Ċubrenja i rokova setve na prinose boranije, cvekle, zelene salate, rotkvice, crnog luka i rotkve, kao i produktivnost zdruţenih useva boranije s navedenim vrstama povrća. Poljski mikroogled, postavljen po sluĉajnom blok sistemu u ĉetiri ponavljanja, u toku tri vegetacione sezone (2009 - 2011. godine), obavljen je na oglednom polju Instituta za povrtarstvo (Smederevska Palanka, 102 m nadmorske visine, 44o22’ severne geografske širine i 20o57’ istoĉne geografske duţine). Tretman zdruţivanja obuhvatio je zdruţene useve boranije i cvekle, boranije i zelene salate, boranije i rotkvice, boranije i crnog luka, boranije i rotkve i ĉist usev boranije. Tretmani Ċubrenja bili su kontrolni tretman bez Ċubrenja, tretmani mikrobiološkim, mineralnim Ċubrivom i stajnjakom. Svi tretmani ispititvani su u dva roka setve, prolećnom i letnjem. Praćene su morfološke i produktivne osobine boranije: visina biljke, visina do prve mahune, masa biljke, broj mahuna po biljci, prinos mahuna po biljci, duţina mahune, masa mahune, prinos mahuna po jedinici površine, ţetveni indeks. Praćene su i hemijske osobine boranije, sadrţaj suve materije i sadrţaj pepela u mahuni boranije, kao i prinosi zdruţenih useva koji su korišćeni za izraĉunavanje LER indeksa. Proseĉna visina biljke boranije bila je 35,83 cm, a proseĉna visina do prve mahune 14,15 cm. Na visinu biljke statistiĉki znaĉajno su uticali faktori zdruţivanja, Ċubrenja i roka setve, a na variranje visine do prve mahune Ċubrenje, rok setve i interakcija ova dva faktora..., Intercropping, growing two or more different crops on the same field during one production season is one of the first systems of plant growing in organized agriculture. Through the history of human society, it survived as a sustainable solution, which can be used in production of food or food, even today. The goal of this research was to examine the effects of intercropping, fertilization and sowing dates on morphological traits and productive components of green bean and the effect of fertilization and sowing dates on productivity of green bean, beetroot, letuce, radish, onion and white winter radish, as the productivity of green bean intercropped with previously mentioned vegetables. A field trial set up in a random block system with four repetitions, during three vegetative seasons (2009 – 2011), was done on an experimental field of the Institute of vegetable crops (Smederevska Palanka, 102 m above sea level, 44o22’ north latitude and 20o57’east longitude). The intercropping treatment included intercropped beetroot and green bean, letuce and green bean, radish and green bean, onion and green bean, white winter radish and green bean, and a sole crop of green bean. Fertilization treatments used were: control treatment without fertilization, microbiological and mineral fertilizers and farm yard manure. All the treatments were examined for two sowing periods, spring and summer. Morphological and productive characteristics of green bean were followed: plant height, first pod height, plant weight, number of pods per plant, pod yield per plant, pod length, pod weight, pod yield per area unit, harvest index. Chemical properties, dry matter and ash content were also monitored, along with the yield of intercropped species used to calculate LER index. Average plant weight was 35.83 cm, average first pod height 14.15 cm. Plant height was significantly affected by the factors of intercropping, fertilization and sowing date, variations of first pod height were affected by the

- Abstract
Environmental changes are predicted to have severe and rapid impacts on polar and alpine regions. At high latitudes/altitudes, cryptogams such as bryophytes and lichens are of great importance in terms of biomass, carbon/nutrient cycling, cover and ecosystem functioning. This seven-year factorial experiment examined the effects of fertilizing and experimental warming on bryophyte and lichen abundance in an alpine meadow and a heath community in subarctic Sweden. The aim was to determine whether shortterm responses (five years) are good predictors of longer-term responses (seven years). Fertilizing and warming had significant negative effects on total and relative abundance of bryophytes and lichens, with the largest and most rapid decline caused by fertilizing and combined fertilizing and warming. Bryophytes decreased most in the alpine meadow community, which was bryophyte-dominated, and lichens decreased most in the heath community, which was lichen-dominated. This was surprising, as the most diverse group in each community was expected to be most resistant to perturbation. Warming alone had a delayed negative impact. Of the 16 species included in statistical analyses, seven were significantly negatively affected. Overall, the impacts of simulated warming on bryophytes and lichens as a whole and on individual species differed in time and magnitude between treatments and plant communities (meadow and heath). This will likely cause changes in the dominance structures over time. These results underscore the importance of longer-term studies to improve the quality of data used in climate change models, as models based on short-term data are poor predictors of long-term responses of bryophytes and lichens.

Hamberg, Henrik and Hamberg, Henrik
- Abstract
Den huvudsakliga uppgiften för reningsverk har alltid varit att rena avloppsvatten. Under denna process avskiljs slam, vilket under en lång tid betraktats som en oönskad biprodukt. Under många år använde man slam som gödselmedel inom jordbruk samt att man använda slammet vid sluttäckning av deponi. Idag ser situationen annorlunda ut. Man har fått en ökad insikt i hållbarhetsfrågor och resurshantering, samt att det under 1990-talet kom ett deponeringsförbud. Slamhantering har under en lång tid varit ett kontroversiellt ämne och blivit föremål för debatt. Detta har lett till att under de senaste 10-15 åren har blivit en viktig fråga att hitta alternativa vägar för en nyttig användning av slammet. Slammets kvalitet och dess innehåll av föroreningar speglas av de som är uppkopplade på ledningsnätet och för att minska miljöriskerna krävs det ett aktivt uppströmsarbete. Edsbyns reningsverk skickar i dagsläget iväg sitt slam för sluttäckning av deponi på BORAB:s avfallsanläggning i Sävstaås, Bollnäs. Den deponi som håller på att täckas idag är inom en snar framtid färdigtäckt vilket leder till att BORAB inte kan ta emot mer slam. Detta medför att alternativa metoder för slamhantering för Edsbyns reningsverk måste identifieras. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka och utvärdera fyra olika slamhanteringsmetoder för Edsbyns reningsverk utifrån rådande lagstiftning, kostnader, energiförbrukning samt miljörisker. Studien undersöker också åtgärder som kan göras uppströms för att förbättra slammets sammansättning och minska miljöriskerna. Resultaten visar bland annat att samtliga metoder ger upphov till ökad risk för läckage och upplagring av näringsämnen och tungmetaller, framför allt Koppar och Zink. Miljöriskerna kan dock minimeras med ett aktivt uppströmsarbete, exempelvis genom samarbete och genom att ställa krav på industrier och andra organisationer samt att förbättra informationen till hushåll, skolor etc. Studien visar också att den billigaste avsättningm, The main purpose of treatment plants has always been to purify wastewater.

- Abstract
[EN] Nitrate accumulation in leafy vegetables, as endives, Cichorium endivia L, could be influenced by nitrogen source supplied in the fertilizing. That is why it established as the objective of this experiment compares the influence of three fertilizing, with the same amount of nitrogen, three different with three ratios Ammonium /Nitrate different (N0:0/13; N5:0,65/12,32; N10: 1,30/11,72 mmol L-1 ), on the nitrates accumulation in leaves and the obtained final production. Also one tried to determine the evolution of different physiological parameters and of quality along the cultivation cycle. Also, it was about to elucidate, if the measurements realized with the SPAD and the colorimeter can to be included like effective hardware for the nitrates estimation in endive leaves. For all this, using cultivating of escarole ‘Cuartana‘ – of wide leave - it was analyzed periodically (0, 14, 28,42 days after the transplant) the evolution of different physiological parameters and of quality (content of chlorophylls (SPAD), (reflectometry) nitrates, nitrogen (Kjeldahl), phosphorus (colorimeter) and color of the leaves (scale CIELab)), and at the end of the cultivation, there were valued the percentage of commercial plants, its middleweight and the incidence of different fisiopatías ("tipburn" and increase to premature flower). The increase of the concentration of ammonium supposed an increase of the values of SPAD (content in chlorophylls) and a decrease of the parameters of color a* and b*. The values of SPAD increased with the development of the cycle, what was joined to a decrease of the yellow color (parameter b*). The increase of the concentration of ammonium did not decrease the accumulation of nitrates, which was increasing on having advanced the cycle., [ES] El objetivo de este trabajo pretende establecer la influencia de la relación Nitrato/Amonio en las soluciones nutritivas, en la acumulación de de nitratos en hoja de escarola, así como en la producción obtenida.

- Abstract
Ukraine is the tenth largest wheat producer in the world but average yields are low, about 3 ton ha-1. A better understanding of growth conditions and factors limiting yield is importantin developing strategies to increase grain yield. This Master’s thesis examined the conditions for winter wheat cultivation (Grain Alliance strategy) in Berezan in the Kiev region of northern Ukraine, and the potential to increase crop yields. The wheat cultivation in seven nearby fields in Berezan was compared with one reference field in Uppsala in Sweden. The effect of sowing date was studied by determining plant development and growth in fields with different sowing dates. The effect of fertilization level was also studied in these fields. In the sowing date trials, the factors plants per square meter in late autumn and spring, shoots per plant in late autumn and spring, and plant weight in late autumn were measured. The yield-forming factors ears m-2, kernels per ear, grain size and grain yield were also measured.In the fertilization trials, only grain yield factors were measured. To determine the growing conditions the soil physical properties and water availability were measured. The development of the winter wheat was also simulated by a phenology model with data from local weather stations. The climate in Kiev is 3-5 ˚C warmer than for Uppsala during the period April-August. It results in more rapid plant development in Kiev compared with Uppsala and 4-5 weeks earlier maturity. Precipitation and evapotranspiration are higher in Kiev than in Uppsala. Soil conditions in the Kiev region are favourable, with good soil aeration and low bulk density combined with relatively high amounts of plant-available water. A normal year the amount of precipitation and soil water storage is adequate to supply the wheat with water and avoid drought on both the clay soil in the field in Uppsala and the silty loam in the fields in Kiev.

Os experimentos foram instalados na Fazenda Experimental da Epamig em São Sebastião do Paraíso, com o objetivo de estudar o comportamento das cultivares Mundo Novo-IAC 379/19; Icatu Precoce-IAC 3282; Icatu Amarelo-IAC 2944 e Rubi-MG 1192, em relação a épocas de parcelamento de adubação. As respostas das cultivares foram medidas sobre a produção em função das épocas de parcelamento da adubação, demonstrando que a característica estudada foi influenciada pelas combinações das épocas em que foram submetidas. A cultivar Mundo Novo-IAC 379/19 tolerou intervalos maiores entre as adubações no período de outubro a março, e a cultivar Icatu Amarelo-IAC 2944 respondeu de modo significativo a quatro parcelamentos consecutivos com intervalo de 30-40 dias entre as aplicações. Para a cultivar Icatu Precoce-IAC 3282, existem opções de estabelecimento de épocas adequadas, dependendo do início das chuvas. A cultivar Rubi-MG 1192 não respondeu às épocas de parcelamento da adubação.ABSTRACT - The work was conducted at EPAMIG's Experimental Station in São Sebastião do Paraíso, MG, to study the performance of Mundo Novo-IAC 379/19; Icatu Precoce-IAC 3282; Icatu Amarelo-IAC 2944 and Rubi- MG 1192 coffee cultivars, in relation to time and parceling out of fertilization. Cultivar responses were evaluated by yield measurements, with the results showing that this parameter was affected by time in which fertilization was made. Mundo Novo-IAC 379/19 cultivar tolerated broader intervals between the fertilizations from October to March. Icatu Amarelo-IAC 2944 response was significant to four consecutive parceling, with intervals from 30 to 40 days between applications. Icatu Precoce-IAC 3282 cultivar presented other more appropriate time options depending on the start of rainy season. Rubi-MG 1192 cultivar was not responsive to split-fertilization.
