This study aimed to investigate the impacts of the growing season on the physiological performance, phenological cycle, and yield of grapevines grown in a semiarid climate. Thus, we established a field experiment in two growing seasons using cultivars with intermediate cycles (BRS Magna and BRS Núbia), and early cycles (BRS Violeta) in Bom Jesus, Piauí, Brazil. Our results suggest that vines cultivated during the second season (September-December) anticipated the phenology from sprouting to berry maturation (BBCH01-BBCH89) of all studied cultivars. The vines cultivated in the 2nd season had an average duration of 109 days after pruning. The growing season within each cultivar level showed that the 2nd season was the best for all studied cultivars. In all cases, plants from the second growing season showed higher rates of CO2 assimilation, transpiration, stomatal conductance, leaf temperature, and the relationship between internal, and external CO2 concentrations (Ci/Ca ratio). BRS Magna had the highest production (3563.5 kg/plant), the highest number of berries per bunch (34.5), longitudinal diameter (35.1 mm), and transverse diameter, universal of the berry (15.3 mm), fruit mass (61.83 g), berries (2.4 g), and total soluble solids (14.9 °Brix). Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the studied cultivars differed from each other, highlighting alterations in the analyzed variables as affected by growing season. Our findings provide relevant information for the growing season, and behavior of vine cultivars to be used as a basis for viticulture cultivation in semiarid environments.
The objective of this research was to evaluate the vegetative growth of papaya seedlings, propagated by seeds, regarding the use and application rates of two biostimulants in two types of soil. The experiment was carried out at the State University of Piauí (UESPI)/Campus de Corrente, with papaya (Carica papaya L.) as a research culture, on a screen at 50% brightness. The completely randomized design consisted of four treatments arranged according to the following application doses (0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 ml) using the biostimulant Solofull® and Stimulate® via soil, with six replicates per treatment, totaling 24 experimental units. The soil used came from two situations, soil 1 (area in process of degradation, Gilbués—PI) and soil 2 (pasture area, Corrente, PI). At 65 days after sowing, height, stem diameter, number of true leaves, leaf area, height ratio of plants, and stem diameter and root length were evaluated. The data were submitted to analysis of variance. The degraded area soil provided the best growth of the aerial part. The types of biostimulants and application doses used in this study did not provide significant differences between treatments.

This work aimed to evaluate the post-harvest quality of fruits of the fig cultivar ‘Roxo de Valinhos’ in two pruningtimes and three ripening stages, under the edaphoclimatic conditions of the semiarid region of the Piauí state.The experiment was carried out in the educational orchard of the Federal University of Piauí, Campus ProfessoraCinobelina Elvas, Bom Jesus, Piauí, Brazil. A completely randomized design (CRD) was used, with 4 replications,in a 2 x 3 factorial scheme, with treatments corresponding to two pruning times (April 2018, of the rainy season,and December 2018, the beginning of the rainy season) and three fruit ripening stages (Green Intermediate,and Ripe), using 5 fruits per experimental plot and performing chemical analyzes in triplicate. The pruningcarried out in April (end of the rainy season) significantly influenced the post-harvest quality of the fig fruits, withgreater weight (34.17 g fruits), transverse diameter (42.21 mm), luminosity (57.92°), and HUE angle (80.73° ), whencompared to the pruning carried out in December (beginning of the rainy season), with weight (26.58 g fruits),transversal diameter (39.83 mm), luminosity (52.53°), and HUE angle (73.60°). The cultivation of fig trees in thesemiarid region of Piauí showed promising results with the anticipation of the crop cycle with pruning performedin the dry season.
