Abstract:RESUMOAs espécies de plantas se diferenciam quanto à capacidade de absorver, translocar e utilizar os nutrientes em seu metabolismo. Informações sobre a influência do zinco na eficiência nutricional de porta-enxertos de caramboleira, são escassas na literatura. Nesta direção, o trabalho objetivou avaliar a influência do Zn sobre o teor, acúmulo, eficiência de absorção, transporte e uso de nutrientes em porta-enxertos de caramboleira. O delineamento utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com cinco doses de zinco:… Show more
Star fruit is an exotic fruit, originally from the topical regions of Asia, which found in Brazil adequate climatic conditions for its development, making it a promising species for cultivation throughout the country. However, despite the favorable climate, soils in tropical regions are generally acidic and have low natural fertility. In addition, due to the perennial condition of the star fruit tree, its roots remain for several years exploring practically the same soil volume, which requires constant monitoring of soil fertility and the nutritional status of plants. Research results have proven that the star fruit tree is responsive to liming and fertilizer application, with productivity gains and improvements in fruit quality. However, to ensure positive responses and success in agricultural activity, it is necessary that soil acidity correctors and fertilizers are applied in a technical and efficient manner based on the use of well-established agronomic tools, such as soil and leaf analysis. This review aims to gather information from studies, mainly those carried out in Brazil, on the nutritional requirements of star fruit trees, suggesting the best agronomic practices of soil fertility and nutrition of this fruit tree.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
