Symptoms of deficiency and growth of peach palm seedlings due to omission of macronutrients

Abstract: Peach palm (Bactris gasipaes H.B.K.) presents multiple economic uses especially regarding its heart-of-palm production; however, this species nutritional requirement should be better elucidated. In this study, we evaluated the visual symptoms of micronutrient omission, dry matter yield and nutrient contents of peach palm plants. The study was carried out in a greenhouse with randomized block experimental design with four replicates. The following treatments were adopted: complete (macro and micronutrients); co… Show more

“…The symptom was verified in young leaves, which presented chlorosis and a green coloration in the veins of the leaves, forming a fine mesh on the yellow background ( Figure 2.A). As symptoms intensified, leaves became completely chlorotic and then whitish (Figure 2 The symptoms of the lack of Fe described were also similar to those found in a study by Fasabi (1996) using Malva sylvestris L. Among the consequences of Fe deficiency in plants, it is possible to highlight the decrease of chlorophyll formation and ferredoxin (essential protein in the transport of electrons in the photosynthesis process), justifying the presence of tissue chlorosis because of the predominance of yellowish pigments (xanthophyll and carotene) (MATOS et al 2013).…”

“…In the new leaves of the ipe seedlings under Fe omission, the reduction of the size of the leaves was observed, as well as the appearance of chlorosis which evolved from the edges to the center of the leaves, showing a whitish coloration. Similar symptomatology was described by Matos et al (2013) in research evaluating the effects of omission of micronutrients in nutritive solution on the growth of Bactris gasipaes seedlings. However, in this study no reduction in morphological variables was observed, as well as in the relative growth of the seedlings.…”
