Nitrogen fertilization (N), in appropriate dose and moment, can favor yield and quality of oat grains. However, its overuse may result in plant lodging, which can be minimized by using growth regulators. With this in mind, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of applying ethyl-trinexapac and nitrogen doses on the accumulation of macro and micronutrients in white oat (IPR Afrodite; Avena sativa L.), grown in different environments in the state of Paraná (Londrina and Mauá da Serra). The field experimental design used was randomized blocks in split-plots, with four replicates. Treatments consisted of four N doses (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha -1 ) and the application or not of growth regulator. The data were subjected to analysis of variance with means comparison by the F test, and regression for the nitrogen doses (p<0.05). For Londrina conditions, applying growth regulator increased the iron content (+29%), and using nitrogen fertilization increased the phosphorus maximum content in the grains when subjected to a 60.65 kg ha -1 dose. In Mauá da Serra, applying growth regulator increased potassium content (+63%), and decreased phosphorus (-20%) and nitrogen (-8%) contents in the grains. The results demonstrate the importance of studies on adequate management practices, aiming to improve the mineral composition of white oat grains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
