RESUMO:Em Sergipe, a alface (Lactuca sativa L.) é uma das hortaliças mais produzidas em sistemas irrigados, portanto é importante estudar meios que propiciem o melhor rendimento para a cultura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de diferentes tipos de cobertura do solo e a necessidade de adubação orgânica (esterco bovino) na produção de alface -cultivar Babá de Verão. O estudo foi desenvolvido na Fazenda Experimental -Campus Rural da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, localizada no município de São Cristóvão (SE). O delineamento utilizado foi de blocos casualizados com três repetições, em esquema fatorial de 4 x 2, com quatro tipos de cobertura (plástico preto, plástico preto e branco, plástico preto e prata e ausência de cobertura), e duas condições de adubação orgânica (ausência e presença). As características avaliadas da planta foram: diâmetro, matéria fresca e seca da parte aérea e número total de folhas. Houve efeito significativo para o fator adubação, em que as plantas que receberam adubação orgânica obtiveram resultados superiores em relação às plantas não adubadas. A cobertura que proporcionou melhores resultados foi a com plástico preto e branco, chegando a valores de diâmetro, massa seca e fresca da parte aérea e número de folhas totais iguais a 32,6 cm, 17,11 g, 307,9 g e 54 folhas, respectivamente. A cobertura com o plástico preto e branco melhora o desempenho do cultivo da alface cv. Babá de Verão. O uso de adubo orgânico é fundamental para a melhoria do desenvolvimento da alface. ABSTRACT: In Sergipe, lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is one of the most produced vegetables in irrigated systems; therefore, it is important to study means that provide the best crop yield. This work aimed to evaluate the influence of different soil cover types and the need
A alface é uma das hortaliças mais exigentes em água, sendo seu déficit um fator limitante para a produção desta olerícola. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a influência de diferentes tipos de cobertura do solo na umidade do solo. Para tanto foi escolhida a cultivar Babá de Verão. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em área experimental localizada no Campus Rural, que fica a 15 km da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. O delineamento utilizado foi de blocos casualizados com três repetições, sendo os tratamentos compostos de três tipos de cobertura (plásticos: preto, preto e branco, preto e prata) e testemunha sem cobertura, todos com e sem adubação, totalizando 8 tratamentos. Foram instalados tensiômetros para a realização da avaliação da tensão de água no solo. Os resultados mostraram que a umidade manteve-se dentro do limite adequado para a cultura da alface quando utilizou-se cobertura no solo.Palavras-chaves: hortaliça, manejo de água e solo, mulching SOIL MOISTURE EVALUATION IN FUNCTION OF ORGANIC MATTER PRESENCE AND GROUND COVER IN LETTUCE GROWTH (Lactuca sativa L) ABSTRACTThe lettuce crop is one of the most vegetables that requires water, and its deficit is a limiting factor to produce this vegetable. This work aimed to evaluate the influence of different types ofcover soil in the soil moisture. Thus,it chose a summer cultivate. The study was carried out in experimental field of the Rural Campus, which is 15 km from the Federal University of Sergipe. The design was a randomized complete block design with three replications, and the treatments composed of three types of coverage (Plastic: black, black and white, black and silver) and control without coverage, all with and without fertilizer, totaling eight treatments. Tensiometers were installed to carry out the assessment of water stress in thesoil. The results showed that moisture was maintained within the appropriate limits for the culture of lettuce was used as ground cover.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of basil cultivars and hybrids in two cropping seasons. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design, with three replications. Twenty-four basil genotypes were tested (20 commercial cultivars and four hybrids), in the dry season (oct.-dec./2015) and in the rainy season (apr.-jun./2016). The evaluated variables were: plant height (cm plant-1), canopy width (cm plant-1), leaf dry weight (g plant-1), and essential oil yield (mL plant-1). The data of each period were subject to analysis of variance and the means were grouped by the Scott-Knott test (p≤0.05). The individual and joint analyses of variance were performed for the experiments in both seasons. The estimated parameters were: coefficient of genetic variation (CV g), coefficient of environmental variation (CV e), CV g /CV e ratio, and heritability (h 2). Leaf dry weight values per plant ranged from 6.23 to 75.00 g plant-1 (dry season) and from 9.17 to 31.34 g plant-1 (rainy season). The hybrid Cinnamon x Maria Bonita (1.50 mL plant-1) and the cultivar Mrs. Burns (1.44 mL plant-1) presented higher essential oil yield in the dry season. All the evaluated variables showed high heritability (h 2) (> 50%) and CV g /CV e ratio (> 1.0), in both cropping seasons, indicating a favorable condition for selection. The cropping season influences the biomass and essential oil yield of basil.
Varronia curassavica Jacq. is a medicinal and aromatic plant native to Brazil. The essential oil of this species is valued by the pharmaceutical industry due to its bioactive substances containing anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to morpho-agronomically characterize 27 accessions of the collection of V. curassavica of the Active Germplasm Bank of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Federal University of Sergipe. The experiment consisted of a randomized block design with three replications. The morphological characterization occurred in the field, by evaluating the variables plant height; canopy width; canopy shape; stem diameterstem color; leaf blades width, length, and length/width ratio; leaves, petals, and sepals color. The agronomic characterization was performed using the essential oils extracted from dried leaves by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger apparatus. Leaves dry matter yield per plant and essential oil yield and content were also evaluated. The accessions showed great variation for leaves color, with different shades of green, which allowed separating them into dark green leaf and light green leaf plants. Plant height values ranged from 101.33 cm (VCUR-801) to 345.33 cm (VCUR-701). The clustering analysis of the traits revealed seven distinct groups. The accessions VCUR-103 and VCUR-001 were the most divergent, whereas the accessions VCUR-401 and VCUR-404 were the most similar. The morpho-agronomic characterization of V. curassavica accessions provides a correct description of the species by pointing out perspectives for genetic improvement, besides optimizing the conservation process.
The medicinal and aromatic species Lantana camara is a bush that receives a lot of interest regarding ornamental use. However, due to its condition of invasive plant in natural environments, it suffers constant eradication attempts, which causes genetic erosion of the species. To work around this problem, a sample of the genetic variability of L. camara was saved in the Active Germplasm Bank of medicinal and aromatic plants of the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS). This study aimed to evaluate morphoagronomically 22 accessions of L. camara, collected in 15 municipalities in the state of Sergipe. To carry out morphoagronomic characterization, morphological and agronomic traits were analyzed. Phenotypic variability among the accessions of the L. camara collection for all the analyzed morphological quantitative and agronomic characteristics was observed. The means ranged from 4.91 to 6.90 cm for leaf length; from 2.81 to 5.03 cm for leaf width; from 1.32 to 1.87 for the leaf length/width ratio; from 9.59 to 22.98 mm2 for leaf area; from 99.00 to 215.00 cm for crown diameter; from 85.67 to 214.33 for plant height; and from 1.08 to 2.43 cm for stem diameter. Most accessions presented erect form. The mean number of flowers per inflorescence varied from 12 to 38 flowers. For the agronomic traits, we observed that the dry mass ranged from 49.86 to 649.04 g.plant-1. The mean content of essential oil ranged from 0.13 to 0.26% and yield between 0.10 and 1.55 mL.plant-1. The most divergent phenotypic accessions were LAC-001 (São Cristóvão) and LAC-038 (Moita Bonita) and the ones with the lowest divergence were LAC-004 (Itaporanga D'ajuda) and LAC-019 (Siriri). Thus, it was observed that the variables were efficient to differentiate the accessions and suggest the existence of genetic variability among them.
