“…[34], Swietenia macrophylla King. [35] and Heliconia psittacorum L. f. [36], which matches the results found in our investigation. Guo et al [31] mention that K + competes with Mg ++ for apoplast binding sites, and possibly competes for transporters; therefore, the high concentration of K in stems and roots in the treatment -Mg could be due to higher binding sites in the apoplast and more available transports.…”

Visual Symptoms, Vegetative Growth, and Mineral Concentration in Fig Tree (Ficus carica L.) Under Macronutrient Deficiencies

et al. 2019

The common fig is an edible fruit which is appreciated for its organoleptic characteristics and high commercial value. Several factors, including mineral nutrition, affect fig production. Macronutrients fulfill specific functions in the metabolism of plants, affecting some functions when they are at low levels. So, in the present investigation, the visual symptoms of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and magnesium deficiencies were identified and characterized, as well as their effects on vegetative growth and the concentration of minerals in fig tree tissues, using the missing element technique in a controlled hydroponic system. N was the element that most affected vegetative growth, causing smaller stem diameter, leaf area, and dry weight. Treatments without P and K followed. In addition, significant differences were found in the mineral concentration in leaf, stem, and root, with various interactions of antagonism and synergism observed according to the absence of each element.

“…The P is fundamental in the export of carbon in the leaves (source) through the sinks during the reproductive period of the plant and the carbohydrates are used as energetic resource during that period (Pieters et al, 2001;Yee & Tissue, 2005). According to Castro et al (2015), P can directly influence the level of carbohydrates in the floral stem of heliconia.…”

“…This cultivar tolerates acidic soils (a pH between 4.5 and 6.5 is adequate for cultivation) and nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, iron and manganese are the nutrients it demands the most (Lamas, 2004). Although fertilizing is one of the factors that most influences production, quality and resistance to diseases, studies about the effect of soil fertility are still scarce for this cultivar (Cerqueira et al, 2008;Castro et al, 2015).…”

Production and commercialization of tropical flowers and plants has grown in recent years, mainly due to the increasing value of these products in temperate climate countries, such as heliconia, one of the most cultivated tropical ornamental plants in Brazil. This study was developed to determine the effect of lime applications on the nutrients in heliconia plants (Heliconia psittacorum L. × Heliconia sparthocircinata Arist. [cv. Golden Torch]) cultivated in yellow latosol in a greenhouse. The macronutrient levels in the leaves, pseudostem and roots of the heliconia plants were determined after cultivating the plants in containers with a medium texture, yellow latosol, collected from the 0 to 20 cm layer and submitted to doses of 0, 0.9, 2.6, 4.2 and 5.9 t of lime ha-1. Nitrogen and phosphorous performed better in the absence of the correction and in the 0.9 t ha-1 dose for the vegetative parts of the heliconia plants. The application of dolomitic lime promoted greater absorption of potassium, calcium and magnesium, and sulfur performed better for the doses 2.6 and 5.9 t of lime ha-1, for the pseudostem and roots, respectively.

“…Another possible explanation is its presence in the rhizomes. The rhizomes contain a large quantity of nutrients and water, which are transferred in large proportions to the stem and leaves [20], thus permitting constant development and blooming of ginger, which requires constant mobility of N. This is important because the rhizomes, besides vegetative propagation [21], make the plants more resistant to adverse conditions [22] and can provide more dry matter to the flower stem and thus greater postharvest durability [5,23].…”
