Biological Fertilization as an Attenuation of Salinity Water on Beetroot (Beta vulgaris)

Abstract

Salinity is one of the major obstacles of modern agriculture, especially in the semi-arid regions, since these have high rates of evaporation and water sources with high salt terrors. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the attenuating effects of bovine biofertilizer and biological fertilizer under irrigation with saline waters on the morphological behavior of beetroots (Beta vulgaris L.). The design was randomized blocks in a factorial scheme 4 × 2 + 1, referring to the electrical conductivity of the irrigation water (ECw: 0.5, 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 dS m ). No effects of the factors evaluated on the gas exchange of beetroots were observed. However, the increase of ECw has negative effects on phytomass and growth of this crop, as the application of bio fertilizer favors some soil chemical characteristics.

“…The mobile phase in the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) process consisted of acetonitrile and HPLC-grade water, combined in a 75:25 volumetric ratio (v/v), and delivered at a flow rate of 1 mL per minute. The identification and quantification of sugar concentrations were carried out using a calibration curve ranging from 1 to 12 mg/100 mL in a 1:1 (v/v) solution of acetonitrile and water [19].…”
