Rendimento quântico e trocas gasosas em maracujazeiro amarelo sob salinidade hídrica, biofertilização e cobertura morta

The response of plants to salt stress is an extremely complex phenomenon that involves morphological, physiological and biochemical changes, modifying the leaf contents of chlorophyll and carotenoids, among others and affecting plant growth, development and production. An experiment was carried out from July 2010 to June 2011, in order to evaluate the contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, the chlorophyll a/b ratio and biomass accumulation of shoots and roots of noni plants, when subjected to irrigation and leaching with water of increasing salinity. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse, at the Center of Agricultural Sciences of the Federal University of Paraíba, in the municipality of Areia-PB, Brazil. Treatments were distributed in randomized blocks, in a 5 × 2 factorial scheme with four replicates and two plants per plot, and corresponded to levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.5; 1.5; 3.0; 4.5 and 6.0 dS m-1) in pots with and without leaching. The increase in irrigation water salinity impairs the leaf contents of chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids and biomass production of noni plants, but to a lesser extent in all the treatments in which same irrigation water was used for leaching.

Photosynthetic pigments and biomass in noni irrigated with saline waters with and without leaching

Gheyi

et al. 2015

“…Silva et al (2006) comment that reductions in Fm can be related to the photoinhibition of the quinone, associating them to the inactivation of PSII in the membranes of the thylakoids, compromising the flow of electrons between the photosystems. Freire et al (2014) observed reduction in Fm from 2256 to 2048 in leaves of yellow passion fruit when irrigation water salinity increased from 0.5 to 4.5 dS m -1 , which is equivalent to a reduction of 9.2%, similar to that observed in the present study.…”

Quantum efficiency of photosystem II and production of orange under salt stress and nitrogen fertilization

Sousa

Gheyi

Brito

et al. 2016

A B S T R A C TThis study aimed to evaluate the salt tolerance of 'Mimo do Céu' orange grafted onto three rootstocks using physiological parameters such as maximum quantum efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) and the production of fruits. It also evaluated the effectiveness of increased nitrogen (N) fertilization in reducing the effects of salt stress. Two concomitant experiments were carried out under controlled conditions, using drainage lysimeters. The Experiment I evaluated the effects of the application of five levels of saline water on three combinations of scion-rootstocks grafted with 'Mimo de Ceu' orange, in a randomized block design with three replicates in a 5 x 3 factorial scheme. The Experiment II evaluated the application of two N levels (100 and 200% of recommendation) in three scion-rootstock combinations irrigated with water of electrical conductivity of 3.0 dS m -1 , in a 3 x 2 factorial scheme, with three replicates. The maximum quantum efficiency of PSII was inhibited in citrus plants under salt stress. 'Mimo do Ceu' orange grafted onto 'Common' Rangpur lime has higher yield potential. The increase in N dose did not reduce the deleterious effects of water salinity on fruit production.Eficiência quântica do fotossistema II e produção de laranjeira sob estresse salino e adubação nitrogenada R E S U M O Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, avaliar a tolerância ao estresse salino da laranjeira 'Mimo do Céu' enxertada em três porta-enxertos utilizando como parâmetros fisiológicos, a eficiência quântica do fotossistema II e a produção de frutos. Também se avaliou a eficiência máxima do incremento da adubação nitrogenada na redução dos efeitos do estresse salino; para tanto foram realizados dois experimentos concomitantes em condições controladas e com auxílio de lisímetros de drenagem. No Experimento I foram estudados em blocos casualizados com três repetições, em esquema fatorial 5 x 3, cinco níveis de salinidade da água e três combinações de copa/porta-enxerto e no Experimento II estudou-se a aplicação de duas doses de N (100 e 200% da recomendação) em plantas das três combinações de copa/porta-enxerto irrigadas com águas de condutividade elétrica de 3,0 dS m -1 , em esquema fatorial 3 x 2 com três repetições. A eficiência máxima quântica do PSII foi inibida nas plantas cítricas com estresse salino; já o aumento do teor salino da água de irrigação reduz a produção de frutos e a laranjeira 'Mimo do Céu' enxertada no Limoeiro Cravo 'Comum' possui maior potencial produtivo. O aumento na fertilização nitrogenada não reduziu os efeitos da salinidade sobre a produção total de frutos.

“…report that the beneficial effects of the application of bovine biofertilizer on transpiration are due to the stimulus to the action of proteins and organic solutes, resulting in better nutritional conditions in the soil and in the plants. Similar results were found by Freire et al (2014), who observed an increment of 97.7% in the transpiration rate of yellow passion fruit under treatments with bovine biofertilizer and utilization of mulch. Sarmento et al (2011), evaluating organic sources and times of incorporation in beet cultivation, observed that transpiration did not show significant variations as a function of the applied treatments.…”

Gas exchange and leaf contents in bell pepper under energized water and biofertilizer doses

Borges

Viana

Marinho

et al. 2016

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of energized water and bovine biofertilizer doses on the gas exchange and NPK contents in leaves of yellow bell pepper plants. The experiment was conducted at the experimental area of the Federal University of Ceará, in Fortaleza-CE, Brazil, from June to November 2011. The experiment was set in a randomized block design, in a split-plot scheme; the plots were composed of treatments with energized and non-energized water and the subplots of five doses of liquid biofertilizer (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mL plant-1 week-1). The following variables were analyzed: transpiration, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis and leaf contents of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Water energization did not allow significant increases in the analyzed variables. The use of biofertilizer as the only source of fertilization was sufficient to provide the nutrients N, P and K at appropriate levels for the bell pepper crop.
