The production of vegetables in communities of family farmers in semiarid regions is limited due to rudimentary cultivation practices and systems, water scarcity, and excess salts in the water and soil. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the production of rocket (Eruca sativa L. cv. Folha Larga) in a low cost hydroponic system, considering strategies for the use of brackish water in the nutrient solution. The experiments were conducted in complete randomized designs, in 6×2 factorial arrangements, with five replications, using rocket plants grown in different nutrient solutions, consisting of six salinity levels (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, 7.5, and 9.0 dS m -1) and two circulation frequencies of the nutrient solution (twice a day, at 8:00h, and 16:00h; and three times a day, at 8:00h, 12:00h, and 16:00h). In Experiment I, the nutrient solution lost by evapotranspiration was replenished with the respective brackish water used in its preparation; and in Experiment II it was replenished with public water (0.12 dS m -1). The shoot and root fresh and dry biomass of the plants and their respective dry weight proportions, and biometric variables were evaluated. Replenishing of the nutrient solution with public water resulted in lower losses in biomass and plant growth. The increases in circulation frequency of the nutrient solution did not affect the biometric variables, however, the plants prioritized shoot biomass development to the detriment of the root when using high circulation frequencies.
The analysis of plant response to the cationic variability of the waters, in addition to the osmotic component, is indispensable in the context of salt stress. Thus, between October 2017 and February 2018, in Recife, PE, Brazil (8° 1’ 7” S and 34° 56’ 53” W, and altitude of 6.5 m), the present study was carried out to evaluate the water relations of parsley plants (Petroselinum crispum), cv. Graúda Portuguesa, cultivated in brackish nutrient solutions (electrical conductivities of 1.7, 2.7, 3.7, 4.7, 5.7 and 6.7 dS m-1) prepared in waters with different cationic natures (NaCl, CaCl2, KCl and MgCl2). The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 6 x 4 factorial scheme, with five repetitions, and five plants per plot. Two experiments were conducted sequentially under this statistical design; in the first, the evapotranspired depth was replaced with supply water (0.12 dS m-1) and in the second, with the respective brackish water. The increment in nutrient solution salinity influences the fresh and dry biomass and the percentages of total, shoot and root dry masses, and this increment led to different behavior in parsley physiology under the different cationic natures of the water, being less harmful with the use of supply water to replace the evapotranspired depth and with CaCl2 water with electrical conductivity above 5.7 dS m-1, in the replacement with brackish water.
The need to use strategies for using brackish water in agriculture, especially in semi-arid conditions, is evident. Based on this information, this study was developed with the aim of evaluating the consumption, efficiency and water content, as well as the dry mass of the arugula plants (cv. Broad Leaf) exposed to brackish nutrient solutions as a function of replacement strategies and circulation frequencies. The treatments consisted of six salinity levels of the nutrient solution (1.5, 3.0, 4.5, 6.0, 7.5 and 9.0 dS m-1) and two circulation frequencies (twice a day 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., and three times a day at 8 a.m., 12 p.m. and 5 p.m.). In Experiment I, the evapotranspiration line was replaced with the respective brackish water used in the preparation of the solution, and in Experiment II, the water supply was used. In both treatments, the experimental design was completely randomized, in a 6 x 2 factorial scheme, with five replications. The conclusion is that it is technically feasible to circulate the nutrient solution twice a day and there were lower losses in the water relations, in the biomass production of the shoot and in the partition of photoassimilates when the replacement with water supply was adopted.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) applications, in three immersion times on the vegetative propagation of red mombin (Spondias purpurea), using the cutting technique. The experimental design was the completely randomized, with three replicates, in a factorial scheme (3 x 6), three different immersion periods (8, 16 and 24 seconds), in six concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 g L-1) of IAA, with ten cuttings per plot. The experimental period was 180 days and the characteristics percentage of cuttings survival, percentage of rooted cuttings, number of young shoots, number of roots per cuttings, general root length and total fresh mass. Data were submitted to analysis of variance by the F test and, later, fitted in regression equations. The vegetative propagation by red mombin cuttings was satisfactory to rooting and sprouting in the cuttings, with greater increases between the IAA concentrations of 6 to 10 g L-1. The 10 g L-1 concentration, in 24 seconds of immersion time, was the one that induced greater increases in the red mombin variables.
The analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence is one of many ways to quantify the salt damage to photosynthetic performance and crop production. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the photochemical efficiency and production of coriander, cultivar ‘Verdão’, as a function of the electrical conductivity levels of the nutrient solution and the cationic nature. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, in a 4 × 3 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of four electrical conductivities of the nutrient solutions (ECns = 1.6, 3.2, 4.8, and 6.4 dS m-1) and three kinds of water of different cationic natures (Na+; Ca2+; Mg2+), which were prepared with the dissolution of different salts - NaCl, CaCl2.2H2O, and MgCl2.6H2O in supply water (ECw = 0.12 dS m-1), that is, three predominant cationic natures. The study was carried out in a greenhouse between November and December 2019 at the Fertigation and Salinity Laboratory of the Agricultural Engineering Department of the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco. It was found that the increase in the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution affected reaction centers, photochemical activity, and carboxylation efficiency and resulted in reductions in stomatal conductance, CO2 assimilation rate, and therefore, in the biomass production of coriander. Different cationic prevalence in water causes differences in the intensity of salt damage, especially with increasing concentration.
Brackish waters may vary in their chemical compositions, interfering with different plant responses to stress; therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the production components of parsley plants subjected to levels of electrical conductivity in nutrient solutions with an initial ECns of 1.58 dS m-1, which was solubilized in water with the following water electrical conductivity configurations (ECw): 0.12 (control), 1.12, 2.12, 3.12, 4.12 and 5.12 dS m-1, resulting in six isosmotic levels (ECns = 1.7, 2.7, 3.7, 4.7, 5.7 and 6.7 dS m-1) in an interaction with four types of salt: NaCl, CaCl2, MgCl2 and KCl. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme with five replicates. Two strategies were used to restore the volume consumed by the parsley plants, and the replacement was made with municipal-supply water (ECa = 0.12 dS m-1) in the first strategy and with the respective brackish waters in the second strategy. The total fresh and dry weights of the shoots and roots were evaluated as well as the total dry mass percentage of the shoots and roots. The responses of the plants to the different cationic natures was more evident at the highest levels of electrical conductivity tested, and the use of municipal-supply water to replace the evapotranspired depth mitigated the deleterious effects of salinity. In addition, greater reductions were observed in the fresh and dry mass when the replacement of the volume consumed was with the brackish waters.
Neste artigo temos o objetivo de apresentar a ideia de labor conjunto remoto como uma proposta metodológica para formações continuadas de professores que ensinam matemática, assumindo os pressupostos da teoria da objetivação. Nossa proposição foi elaborada a partir de um projeto de formação continuada vivenciado no formato remoto, que assumiu a álgebra e seu ensino nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental como objeto de saber a ser problematizado. A ideia de labor conjunto descrita pela teoria da objetivação foi pensada para o formato presencial, entretanto, defendemos que essa ideia pode ser implementada, a partir de adaptações, também no formato remoto. Em nosso texto abordamos os princípios da teoria da objetivação seguido das ideias de atividade, atividade de ensino e aprendizagem e labor conjunto, conceitos que assumimos como centrais para nossa proposição. Concluímos que o labor conjunto remoto possui fases, ou, momentos, que vão do planejamento à vivência do trabalho. Entretanto, não é a vivência completa desses momentos que caracterizam o labor conjunto remoto, mas o tipo de interação entre os sujeitos na realização das tarefas, que devem priorizar a coletividade, o cuidado com o outro, a solidariedade. Nesse sentido, entendemos que o labor conjunto remoto, vivenciado a partir dos princípios de uma ética comunitária, é um processo, um sistema dinâmico em constante movimento e mudanças, que é afetado e afeta, de uma forma dialética, as subjetividades e os saberes em jogo.
