Eggplant growth as affected by bovine manure and magnesium thermophosphate rates

Abstract: Plant growth is influenced by nutrient availability. The objective of this research was to study, under greenhouse conditions, eggplant growth as affected by rates of bovine manure and magnesium thermophosphate (g kg -1 and mg kg -1 , respectively), according to a "Box central composite" matrix: 4.15-259; 4.15-1509; 24.15-259; 24.15-1509; 0.0-884; 28.3-884; 14.15-0,0; 14.15-1768; 14.15-884. Potassium sulfate (170 mg kg -1 ) and 200 mL per pot of cow urine solution were applied four times, but the concentration… Show more

“…Fertilizer management one of the main factors responsible for eggplant quality and yield (MANFIO, 2007;CARDOSO et al, 2008). Fertilization of eggplant cultures is usually done using mineral fertilizers, whose doses and application times are dependent on expected yield and plant phenology, respectively.…”

“…According to Manfio (2007), eggplant nutrient requirements increase with plant growth and development and are maximized during flowering, fruit formation, and growth. However, as with other vegetable crops grown using conventional cultural practices, excessive fertilization of eggplant cultures can lead to several problems including soluble solids accumulation in the soil and nutrient leaching (CARDOSO et al, 2008). Thus, there is a growing need to develop environmentally friendly strategies for sustainable culturing of horticultural crops with high yields and less environmental damage.…”

“…Assim como várias hortaliças, tem sido produzida em condições de cultivo protegido, o qual possibilita um abastecimento contínuo e colheitas em períodos de baixa oferta do produto no mercado, alcançando, por isso, preços mais competitivos (MAGGI et al, 2006). Porém, existem muitos problemas relacionados à adubação excessiva, levando o solo a um acúmulo de sais no solo e perca de nutrientes por percolação profunda (CARDOSO et al, 2008). Marques (2003) estudou o efeito da salinização nos componentes de rendimento da berinjela no município de Lavras -MG, e verificou que a salinidade na água de irrigação reduz a produção total da cultura e a produção comercial.…”

“…A produção brasileira anual de hortaliças atinge cerca de 12,5 milhões de toneladas (Grangeiro & Cecílio Filho, 2004), com projeções de crescimento (Vilela & Henz, 2000) principalmente daquelas com propriedades fitoterápicas (Cardoso et al, 2008).…”
