RESUMOA evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) é dependente da quantidade de energia disponível no ambiente e a radiação solar (Rs) é uma variável importante na sua estimativa. Mediante o exposto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar os coeficientes "a" e "b" da equação de Angströn-Prescott para Seropédica, RJ, e avaliar seus efeitos na estimativa da Rs e da ETo. Utilizaram-se medidas da radiação solar global e número efetivo de horas de brilho solar da estação Ecologia Agrícola ABSTRACTThe reference evapotranspiration (ETo) is dependent on the amount of energy available in the environment, being solar radiation (SR) as an important variable in its estimation. This study was carried out in order to determine the coefficients "a" and "b" of the Angstron-Prescott equation for Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and to evaluate their effects on the SR and ETo estimation. Measures of global solar radiation and effective number of hours of sunshine were used from station Ecology Fund (83741 -INMET) for the period of 2000 to 2007. The coefficients were determined by linear regression analysis for the entire period and monthly and yearly periods. Using the calculated coefficients and those proposed by FAO (0.25 and 0.50) SR and ETo were estimated and evaluated their performance. The average monthly coefficients "a" ranged from 0.232 to 0.299 and "b" from 0.397 to 0.504. Annual mean coefficients "a" and "b" were 0.295 and 0.417, and for general period were 0.282 and 0.433, respectively. The best performance observed for the estimated SR and ETo was obtained when the monthly coefficients of the equation Angströn-Prescott were adopted.

A B S T R A C TThe objectives of this study were to obtain the onion crop coefficients and evaluate the influence of different irrigation depths (0, 22, 45, 75 and 100% of crop evapotranspiration) on marketable yield and quality of onion bulbs cultivated with and without mulch of elephant grass. The experiment was carried out in Seropédica, RJ, Brazil, from May to September 2012, in a Red Yellow Argisol. The experimental design was in randomized blocks in split plots, with 10 treatments and seven replicates. Irrigation management was performed through soil water balance using the Time Domain Reflectometry technique, with probes installed horizontally at 7.5 and 22.5 cm depths. The use of mulch allowed the application of smaller irrigation depths, leading to lower crop coefficient (18% in stage II and 3% in stage III) in comparison to the crop without mulch. Irrigation depths associated with the use of mulch influenced the evaluated production variables, proving to be an alternative to increase marketable yield and quality of onion bulbs, with lower irrigation depth.Produtividade comercial da cebola sob diferentes lâminas de irrigação, com e sem cobertura do solo R E S U M O Objetivou-se neste estudo obter os coeficientes de cultivo para a cultura da cebola e avaliar a influência de diferentes lâminas de irrigação (0, 22, 45, 75 e 100% da evapotranspiração da cultura) na produtividade comercial e na qualidade de bulbos de cebola, cultivada com e sem cobertura vegetal morta de capim-elefante no solo. O experimento foi realizado em Seropédica, RJ, Brasil, entre maio e setembro de 2012, em um Argissolo VermelhoAmarelo. O delineamento experimental adotado foi em blocos casualizados em parcelas subdivididas, com10 tratamentos e sete repetições. O manejo da irrigação foi realizado por meio do balanço de água no solo utilizando a técnica da Reflectometria no Domínio do Tempo, a partir de sondas instaladas horizontalmente a 7,5 e 22,5 cm de profundidade. A utilização da cobertura morta permitiu a aplicação de menores lâminas de irrigação, proporcionando coeficientes de cultivo inferiores (18% no estágio II e 3% no estágio III) ao cultivo sem cobertura do solo. A lâmina de irrigação associada ao uso da cobertura vegetal morta no solo influenciou as variáveis de produção avaliadas, demonstrando ser uma alternativa para elevar a produtividade comercial e a qualidade de bulbos de cebola com menor lâmina de irrigação.
ABSTRACT.Two experiments were performed to evaluate the effect of ash (40, 80, and 120 g per plant), castor cake (140 and 280 g per plant) and water depth (135, 165, 191, and 213 mm) on the growth and production of organic tomato cultivated in pots in a greenhouse. The experimental design was randomized blocks, and the irrigation was managed using an automatic irrigation device. The following variables were evaluated: plant heights, numbers of leaves, bunches, flowers and fruits, total mass of fruits, mass of marketable fruits, mass of fruits with blossom-end rot, total diameter of fruits, and diameter of marketable fruits. Most of the growth variables showed gains with the application of 140 g of ash and 280 g of cake.The dose of 280 g of castor cake was responsible for the greatest mass of marketable fruits (1.78 kg per plant), regardless of the ash dose. The water deficit reduced values of most of the variables of growth and production. The irrigation depth of 213 mm was responsible for the greatest mass of marketable fruits (4.04 kg per plant). The highest water use efficiencies, 37.00 and 37.93 kg m -3, were observed at irrigation depths of 191 and 213 mm, respectively.Keywords: Solanum lycopersicum L., organic agriculture, water management.Crescimento e produção do tomateiro adubado com cinza e torta de mamona e sob lâminas de irrigação, cultivado em vasoponia orgânica RESUMO. Foram realizados dois experimentos com objetivo de avaliar o efeito da cinza (40, 80 e 120 g por planta), da torta de mamona (140 e 280 g por planta) e de lâminas de irrigação (135, 165, 191 e 213 mm) no crescimento e produção do tomateiro orgânico, cultivado em vaso e ambiente protegido. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados e o manejo da irrigação realizado pelo acionador automático para irrigação. Foram avaliadas a altura das plantas, os números de folhas, cachos, flores e frutos, as massas de fruto total, comercial e com podridão apical, e os diâmetros de fruto total e comercial. A maioria das variáveis de crescimento obtiveram ganhos com a aplicação de 140 g de cinza e 280 g de torta. A dose de 280 g de torta proporcionou maior massa fresca comercial (1,78 kg por planta), independente da dose de cinza. O déficit hídrico reduziu os valores da maioria das variáveis de crescimento e de produção. A lâmina de 213 mm foi a responsável pela maior massa fresca comercial (4,04 kg por planta). As maiores eficiências de uso de água, 37,00 e 37,93 kg m -3 , foram encontradas para as lâminas de 191 e 213 mm, respectivamente.Palavras-chave: Solanum lycopersicum L., agricultura orgânica, manejo da irrigação.

This study was carried out to evaluate the contributions to the optimization of water use in a carrot crop under different forms of mulch using Gliricidia sepium, fertilization with castor bean cakes and irrigation water depths. The experiment was conducted in Seropédica, RJ, Brazil (22º 46’ S and 43º 41’ W), from June to September 2010. The experiment was conducted using a split-split-plot scheme (5 x 3 x 2), with four replicates. The five plots had irrigation depths corresponding to 0, 43, 72, 100 and 120% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc); the three subplots contained the different forms of mulch (whole leaves (WL) and chopped leaves and branches (CLB)) and the absence of mulch (AM); and the two sub-subplots contained either the presence (PF) or absence of fertilization (AF). Using time domain reflectometry (TDR) in the irrigation management, water depths ranging from 67.8 to 285.5 mm were applied. The use of mulch in association with fertilization led to higher yields and water-use efficiency (WUE) of the carrot plants, and the mulch composed of WL performed best. The application of irrigation depths corresponding to 97% of ETc promoted the highest carrot yields, although the highest values of WUE were observed, with irrigation depths corresponding to a range from 51 to 68% of ETc.
Seedling production is an important step in the lettuce production system. However, there is a tendency to apply excessive irrigation at this stage. The aim of this study was to test the use of the Simplified Irrigation Controller (SIC) under two conditions: first, with the sensor installed in the substrate (measuring the soil water tension) and second, in the atmosphere ("atmospheric" -responding to vapor demand in the atmosphere) to control the irrigation of lettuce seedlings. The performance of the SIC was evaluated by monitoring plant traits. The lettuce seeds of the Regina cultivar were sown in styrofoam trays with commercial organic substrate.Both experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions and evaluated under different SIC activation tensions. Shoot fresh weight and dry weight, height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf area, water use efficiency (WUE) (ratio between the dry mass of plant produced by the volume of water applied), chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance and chlorophyll a fluorescence were assessed. In the experiment with the substrate sensor, the tension of 11.5 kPa caused death in 94 % of the seedlings and was disregarded in the statistical analysis. All biometric and physiological traits evaluated decreased as the SIC tensions increased. Thus, tensions of 4.0 (substrate sensor) and 3.5 kPa (atmospheric sensor) showed greater potential for producing vigorous seedlings, with WUE average values of 1.86 and 1.37 g L -1 , respectively. Cultivation of lettuce seedlings proved viable under both conditions when the SIC was used, with the emergence of a number of practical advantages of the atmospheric sensor over the substrate one.
This study aimed to evaluate the production of cut sunflower in response to different water volumes and substrates, composed of soil and coconut fiber. Two simultaneous experiments were conducted in greenhouse, located in the Horticulture Sector of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), Seropédica - RJ, Brazil (22º 48’ S, 43º 41’ W and altitude of 33 m), between April and June 2016. Water was applied by an Simplified Irrigation Controller (SIC), allowing the application of different volumes (33, 67 and 133% of retention capacity of substrate) in comparison to the control treatment (100%). The substrates used were 1/3 of coconut fiber and 2/3 of soil (v/v) (Experiment 1), and 2/3 of coconut fiber and 1/3 of soil (Experiment 2). The experimental design was completely randomized, with 5 replicates. The treatment with 100% of the volume applied by the SIC led to best growth of sunflower, increasing the potential income obtained with stems at better marketing standard according to the prices practiced.
