Effects of saline water and potassium fertilization on photosynthetic pigments, growth and production of West Indian Cherry

Abstract: Due to the scarcity of water in the semi-arid region of Northeast Brazil, in both quantitative and qualitative terms, the use of saline water in agriculture should be considered as one alternative for irrigated agriculture. This study therefore aimed to evaluate the photosynthetic pigments, growth and production of West Indian Cherry as a function of irrigation using waters with different salinity levels and potassium (K) fertilization, after grafting. The study was carried out in drainage lysimeters under gre… Show more

“…This situation promotes a reduction in fruit fresh mass as a result of physiological and biochemical changes to maintain cellular homeostasis. Similar results were reported by Lima et al (2018), who evaluated the production of West Indian cherry cv. 'BRS 366 Jaburu' irrigated using waters with salinity levels of 0.8 and 3.8 dS m -1 and potassium fertilization, and also found reduction in the fresh mass of West Indian cherry fruits, and the greatest effect was observed in plants cultivated with the highest salinity level (3.8 dS m).…”

“…Phosphorus doses caused significant effect (p<0.05) only in fruit fresh mass. Lima et al (2018), when evaluating the production of West Indian cherry cv. 'BRS 366 Jaburu' as a function of irrigation with waters of different salinities (ECw of 0.8 and 3.8 dS m -1 ) and potassium fertilization, found that the interaction between the salinity levels and K 2 O doses caused significant effect only on the fruit fresh mass.…”

“…Excess Na + ions could possibly occupy the absorption sites of K + and Mg 2+ , while excess Clcould act in the sites of N and P, thereby inhibiting their absorption due to competitive mechanisms (LUCENA et al, 2012). Lima et al (2018) also observed a reduction in the production of West Indian cherry fruits because of irrigation with saline water. However, these authors observed that the deleterious effects of salinity on the total number of fruits could be mitigated by potassium fertilization.…”

“…-mar., 2020 191 under water salinity of 2.1 dS m -1 . The increase in chlorophyll b biosynthesis by plants under salt stress conditions is an adaptive response, as this pigment helps broaden the light absorption range and transfers it to chlorophyll a, which effectively acts on the photochemical reactions of photosynthesis, making light capture more efficient (LIMA et al, 2011). Lima et al (2018) in a study evaluating the effects of salt stress (ECw of 0.8 and 3.8 dS m -1 ) on the photosynthetic pigments of West Indian cherry, concluded that irrigation with high-salinity water stimulates the biosynthesis of chlorophyll b and carotenoids.…”
