“…'Golden Torch') were purchased from the CPCE/UFPI heliconia collection. These rhizomes were standardized, cleaned and, for asepsis, immersed in a solution containing sodium hypochlorite (5%) for 15 min (Beckmann-Cavalcante et al, 2011). Subsequently, the rhizomes were cultivated in polyethylene containers (volume 3.0 L) filled with sand and cattle manure at a 1:1 (v/v) ratio.…”

A B S T R A C TLight is one of the factors that most affect crop growth and yield. However, the control of light intensity is difficult, because, under certain environmental conditions, light energy may exceed or limit the capacity of plants to use it. In this sense, the productive behavior of plant species in shaded environments needs to be known. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different shaded environments with black shade nets [0 (full sun), 35 and 50%, and overlap 35 + 50% shading nets] on flowering, yield and quality of inflorescences of Heliconia psittacorum (cv. 'Golden Torch'). The shaded environments caused a reduction in the number of days for inflorescence emergence and in the cycle of H. psittacorum (cv. 'Golden Torch'). The yield and quality of inflorescences of plants grown under full-sun conditions (0% shading) were impaired. The results indicate that, for a better management of the crop environment, aiming yield and quality of inflorescences of H. psittacorum (cv. 'Golden Torch'), the use of black shade nets with 50% shading is recommended.Produtividade e qualidade de inflorescências de helicônias 'golden torch' em diferentes ambientes de sombreamento R E S U M O A luz é um dos fatores que mais afetam o crescimento e a produtividade das culturas; no entanto, o controle da intensidade luminosa é difícil visto que em determinadas condições ambientais a energia luminosa pode exceder ou limitar a capacidade que a planta tem de utilizá-la; neste sentido, o comportamento produtivo das espécies em ambientes sombreados necessita ser conhecido. Objetivou-se, no presente estudo, avaliar o efeito de diferentes ambientes de sombreamento com telas tipo sombrite de cor preta [0 (pleno sol), 35 e 50% e sobreposição de telas com malhas de 35 + 50%] sobre o florescimento, produtividade e qualidade de inflorescências de Heliconia psittacorum (cv. 'Golden Torch'). Os ambientes de sombreamento promoveram redução no número de dias para emissão da inflorescência e no ciclo das plantas de H. psittacorum (cv. 'Golden Torch'). A produtividade e a qualidade de inflorescências das plantas cultivadas em condições de pleno sol (0% de sombreamento) foram prejudicadas. Os resultados indicam que, para um manejo melhor do ambiente de cultivo visando à produtividade e à qualidade de inflorescências de H. psittacorum (cv. 'Golden Torch') sugere-se a utilização de telas tipo sombrite com malha preta de 50%.

“…These results emphasize the potential of CBD mixed with other organic sources in the composition of horticultural substrates, already successfully tested for fruit species such as "castanheira-do-gurgueia" (Cavalcante et al, 2011), passion fruit (Silva, 2012) and papaya (Albano et al, 2014). These organic sources have also shown satisfactory results for other tree species such as monkfish (Enterolobium contortsiliquum) (Sousa et al, 2013), neem (Azadirachta indica) (Oliveira et al, 2016) and Heliconia (Beckmann-Cavalcante et al, 2011). The benefits of the use of the substrate formulation CBD + poultry manure in the shoot development of papaya seedlings found in this research corroborates with other studies.…”

Papaya is a tropical fruit of great importance in the international and national market. For crop success, the use of quality seedlings is of paramount importance and substrates formulated from organic sources may be a viable alternative. In this context, the objective of this study was to evaluate the initial development of papaya seedlings in different formulations and levels of organic substrates. A completely randomized design was used in a 4x4+1 factorial scheme, corresponding to four substrate formulations, containing decomposed buriti stem (CDB). The treatments included of the following: (CDB, ½ CDB + ½ poultry manure, ½ CDB + ½ cattle manure and ½ CDB + ½ gray with plant origin sourced from materials resulting from the burning of plant material (stem, branches); four proportion levels of the formulations of the substrates mixed to the soil (25; 50; 75 and 100%) and the additional control (100% soil). The following variables were measured: plant height, leaf area, number of leaves, shoot dry matter, root length and root dry matter at 42 days of seedling cultivation. The results showed that use of an ideal source of organic matter is feasible in the production of papaya seedlings. The substrate consisting of CBD + poultry manure had great potential to be used in the production of papaya seedlings.

“…From the textual quotations coded for the topic of plant fertilization and nutrition, it was founded that the authors recommend the use of organomineral fertilization (combination of organic fertilizers with mineral fertilizer) since it better promotes the growth and development of heliconias (Albuquerque et al, 2010;Beckmann-Cavalcante et al, 2011;Carvalho et al, 2012;Farias et al, 2013; Linares-Gabriel et al, 2018). Research was also focused on the use of silicon as it increases production and decreases the deterioration of heliconia inflorescences (Paulino et al, 2013;Albuquerque et al, 2014) and the use of nitrate and ammonium in hydroponic conditions (Gómez-Merino et al, 2012).…”

Global vision of heliconias research as cut flower: a review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

It is relevant to systematize the global knowledge generated about heliconia due to its economic importance in tropical floriculture and the cut flower market. The objective was to explore the results generated in scientific research related to the cultivation of heliconias as cut flower in terms of its methodological approach, research axes, and spatial distribution in terms of the contributions by country. A bibliographic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of science and SciELO based on the keywords “heliconia” and “tropical flowers”. Thereafter, a content analysis of the documents was conducted with the Nvivo software using a priori categories in terms of methodological approach, research axes, year, countries, and cultivars or varieties. The results indicate that the scientific contributions are mostly under a quantitative approach (98.1%). The investigations mainly address productive aspects (74.5%), post-harvest aspects (16.1%), market (6.7%) while industry-used products (2.5%) are scarcely addressed. The countries that make the most contributions are: Brazil (54.5%), Colombia (15.4%) and Mexico (10.9%). The most important species are: H. psittacorum, H. bihai, H. spathocircinata, H. rostrata and H. wagneriana. These results suggest conducting research to identify problems from the physiological, environmental, productive, and economic processes, as well as considering the strategies of farmers as a priority. This must be approached from paradigms where social actors (farmers), their development and the impacts of their social tasks on the cultivation of heliconias are considered the main axis.
