Influência da adubação nitrogenada e potássica na eficiência do uso da água e na qualidade de frutos de melão

O presente trabalho foi conduzido com o objetivo de se estudar 3 doses de N e 3 doses de K2O, combinadas entre si e aplicadas em cobertura aos 15, 30 e 45 dias após a emergência das plântulas, na eficiência do uso da água e na qualidade de frutos de melão. Utilizou-se um Podzólico Vermelho Escuro, eutrófíco, textura média/argilosa, do município de Ilha Solteira(SP). O experimento foi implantado no ano de 1991 fazendo-se uso dos cultivares Valenciano Amarelo e Eldorado 300, em espaçamento de 2,0m entre linhas e 0,75m entre covas. A cultura foi conduzida sem capação e desbrota e os tratamentos fítossanitários procedidos de acordo com a necessidade. Pelos resultados obtidos verificou-se que o N ou o K2O influenciaram alguns parâmetros no cultivar Eldorado 300: peso da casca, peso de sementes com mucilagem e acidez titulável, além do rendimento de polpa no cultivar Valenciano Amarelo.

Adubação nitrogenada e substratos na produção de mudas de maracujazeiro doce

Com o objetivo de avaliar diferentes substratos e doses de nitrogênio na produção de mudas de maracujazeiro doce, conduziu-se um experimento no Setor de Fruticultura do Departamento de Agricultura da Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA). Foram estudadas cinco doses de nitrogênio 0; 400; 800; 1600 e 3200 mg de N/dm³ e duas composições de substratos: A (composto orgânico + areia + solo na proporção de 1:1:3 em volume) e B (Plantmax® + areia + solo na proporção de 1:1:3 em volume ). Foi utilizado o delineamento experimental em blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 5 x 2, com quatro repetições e cinco plantas por parcela. Foi observado que doses elevadas de adubação de cobertura com N podem promover efeitos depressivos nas mudas. E que o melhor substrato foi o B, contendo: Plantmax® + areia + solo na proporção de 1:1:3 em volume.

Respostas do híbrido de sorgo-sudão às adubações nitrogenada e potássica: características estruturais e produtivas

A pesquisa foi instalada no Setor de Forragicultura da FCAV/UNESP-Jaboticabal, para avaliar o híbrido de sorgo-sudão AG 2501C no outono e inverno. O manejo da pastagem foi conduzido, simulando o sistema de lotação intermitente. O experimento foi desenvolvido de março a setembro de 2002. A forrageira foi submetida a nove tratamentos: três doses de N (100, 200 e 300 kg/ha) e três doses de K (0, 80 e 160 kg/ha de K2O), em delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados com três repetições em esquema de parcelas subdivididas. As características estudadas foram massas, secas, inicial de planta inteira, folha e colmo e massa seca residual; relação lâmina/colmo; índice de área foliar (IAF); interceptação da radiação fotossinteticamente ativa (RFA) e coeficiente de extinção luminosa. Os tratamentos não influenciaram a massa seca inicial (MSI) e residual (MSR) da planta inteira, folha e colmo e massa seca residual. Os resultados médios para MSI, MSR, folha e colmo foram 2801,2; 964,7; 1462,8 e 1085,2 kg/ha de MS, por ciclo de pastejo, respectivamente. Houve redução da relação lâmina/colmo e da porcentagem de folhas, enquanto a porcentagem de colmos aumentou. Houve interação entre N e K para IAF, interceptação de luz e coeficiente de extinção.

Objetivou-se neste estudo determinar as frações de carboidratos e de compostos nitrogenados de genótipos de capim-elefante, em um único corte aos 56 dias de idade, na primavera. Avaliaram-se 12 genótipos de capim-elefante em um delineamento de blocos ao acaso com três repetições, no qual a parcela experimental foi composta de quatro linhas com 3 m de comprimento, espaçadas 1 m e adubadas com 100 kg de P2O5, 100 kg de N, 60 kg de K2O e 25 kg de micronutrientes/ha. As frações de carboidratos A + B1, B2 e C diferiram entre os genótipos. Os genótipos CNPGL 92-94-01, CNPGL 92-70-02, CNPGL 91-06-02, CNPGL 91-25-01, CNPGL 93-32-02 e Cameroon apresentaram os menores valores da fração C de carboidratos. Entre as frações nitrogenadas, apenas as frações B3 e C apresentaram diferenças. Os menores valores da fração C nitrogenada foram observados nos genótipos CNPGL 92-70-02, Napier, CNPGL 94-07-02 e CNPGL 91-25-01.

Efeito da adubação nitrogenada ou de leguminosas no ganho de peso vivo de bovinos em pastagens de capim-colonião

O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar o ganho de peso vivo de bovinos submetidos a três tipos de pastagens de capim-colonião (Panicum maximum Jacq.): colonião testemunha (sem adubação nitrogenada); colonião adubado com 100 kg/ha de nitrogênio; e colonião consociado com soja perene (Neonotonia wightii Verde.) e centrosema (Centrosema pubescens Benth.). Foram usados novilhos da raça Guzerá, com idade variável de 12 a 15 meses e peso vivo médio de 210 kg. O sistema de pastejo foi rotativo, sendo o ajuste pasto-animal realizado pelo método de carga variável. As pesagens dos animais e amostragens do material vegetativo foram realizadas a cada 35 dias. Os resultados revelaram que, durante a época seca, os ganhos diários e por hectare referentes ao tratamento consociado (0,264 kg/animal/dia e 85,73 kg/ha, respectivamente) foram superiores aos das pastagens adubadas com nitrogênio (0,114 kg/animal/dia e 19,93 kg/ha) e testemunha (0,140 kg/animal/dia e 36,60 kg/ha). Ao final de quinze meses, as pastagens adubadas com nitrogênio e consociadas não apresentaram diferenças nos ganhos de peso vivo por hectare, sendo estes, entretanto, 16% superiores em relação ao da pastagem testemunha.

Adubação nitrogenada e idade de corte na produção de matéria seca do capim-elefante no Cerrado

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the application of N fertilizer and the cutting age on the dry biomass production of elephant grass. The experiment was performed with the variety Paraiso and planted in a Ferralsol in 2008 in the district of Gurupi (State of Tocantins). Four different rates of urea application were tested (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha(-1)) and harvests were made at 120, 150 or 180 days after germination (DAG) of the setts. The dry matter and total N accumulation were evaluated. Dry matter production increased with dose of N, the greatest effect being observed at 180 DAG. There was a linear increase in dry matter (R-2 = 0.75**) and N accumulation (R-2 = 0.96**) permitting a productivity of 34 t ha(-1) of dry matter and an accumulation of 471 kg N ha(-1). The N utilization efficiency (biomass production per unit of applied N) increased with plant age. The higher efficiency of N use favored the quality of biomass production for energy production owing to the higher fibre content.

Degradabilidade ruminal da matéria seca e da fração protéica da silagem de milho, do farelo de soja e do sorgo grão, em bovinos da raça nelore. Comparação com os dados obtidos pelo CNCPS

The nylon bag in situ degradation thecnique was employed to compare the data of the CNCPS to the ruminal degradability of the dry matter and crude protein in corn silage, soybean meal and sorghum grain, in four rumen fistulated Nellore steers, averaging 36 months of age and 520 kg of liveweight. A randomized complete block experimental design was used, where animals constituted the blocks. Two levels of concentrate, 18 and 39 %, were used in the diets. The forage used in the diets was corn silage and the concentrate ingredients were: soybean meal, cottonseed meal, corn grain and sorghum grain. There was a reduction in the potentially by degradable fraction (B) of the dry matter(DM) of the corn silage and sorghum grain with an increase in the concentrate level of the diet; however, the degradation rate(c) of the silage was similar for the two diets and the sorghum grain showed an increase of 28.4 %. The B fraction of the DM from the soybean meal was not affected by the diet, but its rate (c) was reduced by 18.1 %. The same effect was observed for the rate(c) of crude protein(CP) of the soybean meal, with a reduction of 38.1 %. The values for the effective degradability of the two fractions were not affected by the diet when the lag time was not considered. When lag time was considered, the degradability values of the studied feeds were superior in both fractions.

Uso da adubação foliar nitrogenada e potássica no algodoeiro

The present work was conducted in Selvíria county (MS-Brazil), in the agricultural year of 1998/99, for evaluating nitrogen and potassium foliar application to supplement sowing fertilization on cotton (IAC 22) crop. A randomized complete block design with 13 treatments and four replications was used. The treatments were constituted by a control (without foliar application) and nitrogen and/or potassium foliar applications two, four, six or eight weeks after beginning of flowering. The urea was used as source of N and potassium chloride as source of K. Urea in the concentration of 10% and potassium chloride at 4% were applied at a rate of 250 L.ha-1. Height of plants, nodule number, number of reproductive branches, boll per plant, 30 boll mass, yield and fiber percentage were evaluated. It is concluded that the N doses increased the yield and decreased the fiber percentage. There was no evaluated response to the application of K or NK.

Fração de excreção de sódio, osmolaridade e densidade urinária em recém-nascidos prematuros alimentados com leite humano de banco adicionado de suplemento

Objective: This research was performed with the objective of investigating the renal effects on premature newborn infants of fortifying banked donor human milk. Methods: Clinical intervention trial, of the before-and-after type, involving 28 premature newborn infants split into two groups by postconceptional age at the start of the study: GI < 34 weeks (n = 14) and GII ≥ 34 weeks (n = 14), and assessed at three sample points: S1, on unfortified donor human milk, S2, after 3 days, and S3, after 10-13 days on fortified donor human milk. Nutrient intake, weight gain, fractional sodium excretion, urinary osmolality and specific density were compared with two-way ANOVA for repeated measures. Results: Fluids, energy and sodium intakes were similar for both groups, and weight gain was satisfactory. Among the preterms with < 34 weeks postconceptional age, serum sodium was lower at the end of the study and the fractional sodium excretion was elevated at the start and at the end of the study (S1 = 2.11±1.05; S2 = 1.25±0.64; S3 = 1.62±0.88), with a significant difference in relation to GII (S1 = 1.34±0.94; S2 = 0.90±0.54; S3 = 0.91±0.82). Osmolality and urinary specific density were normal, with no differences between groups or collection dates. Conclusions: No adverse effects on the renal function of these preterms were detected as a result of being fed fortified donor human milk. Copyright © 2006 by Sociedade Brasileira de Pediatria.

Parcelamento da adubação nitrogenada na cultura do milho irrigado em sistema plantio direto

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the best time for application of N for an irrigated corn crop in a no-tillage system in the State of Alagoas. Three corn hybrids were used (TORK, FORT and BRS-3003) with four application times (days after sowing - DAS) for fertilizing with nitrogen as top dressing, consisting of the following treatments: 1) 120 kg ha-1 at 15 DAS, 2) 60 kg ha-1 at 15 DAS and 60 kg ha-1 at 30 DAS, 3) 120 kg ha-1 at 30 DAS, 4) 60 kg ha-1 at 30 DAS and 60 kg ha -1 at 45 DAS and 5) control treatment without N fertilization. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with four replications in a subdivided plot scheme. The components of the production studied were: final population of plants ha-1, numbers of corn ears ha-1 length of corn ears and number of rows of grains of corn and mass of 1000 grains. The productivities of grains obtained did not present significant differences among the treatments that received fertilization with nitrogen, independent of the time of application and number of split applications. It is concluded that in the notillage system in Alagoas spliting the manuring with nitrogen (top dressing) is not necessary.

Relação entre a adubação nitrogenada e as condições hídricas do solo para um cafezal de Piracicaba, SP

Although the management of the coffee crop is well established in Brazil, there is still room for its improvement in relation natural resources available in each region, aiming the increase in productivity. Here are presented results regarding the fate of the fertilizer nitrogen (N) applied to a coffee plantation related to the prevailing soil water conditions. Soil water balances are discussed, which allowed evaluation of the root distribution, determinations of the crop coefficient and of the soil water conditions during the development of the crop. Approximately, 60% of the root system was distributed in the 0-0.3 m soil layer and the average crop coefficient was 1.1 for 3 to 5 year old plants. Using an N label, the 15N, it was possible to study the distribution of N in the plant and in the soil and establishes general N balances, which also include losses like leaching and volatilization. After two years of ammonium sulfate application, at rates of 280 (1st year) and 350 (2nd year) kg.ha-1 of N, in four equal application performed during the period of positive growth rate, the recuperation of fertilizer N were 19.1% by the aerial plant part and 9.4% by the roots, 12.6% remained in the soil and 11.2% in the litter; 0.9% was lost by volatilization and 2.3% by leaching; 26.3% was exported through harvesting and 18.2% remained in non evaluated compartments. From the applied 630 kg.ha -1 of N during the two years, 180 kg.ha -1 of N were found in the plant (shoot and root), which corresponds to 28.6%; 150 kg.ha -1 of N remained available for the next years(soil and litter), and only 20 kg.ha -1 of N were effectively lost (volatilization and leaching).

Produção de Brachiaria brizantha e Panicum maximum com milho e adubação nitrogenada

In places characterized with high temperatures and rain occurrence in great intensity in the summer, but with dry winter, the major limitations for the sustainability of no tillage systems are low production of straw during fall-spring period and the fast decomposition during the rain season. To try to solve the problem, intercropped cultures of grains with forage species has presented reliable results; because offer vegetal covering to the next sowing, giving sustainability to the no tillage system. However, being a recent technology, its needed further studies in different areas involved for this system of production. Thus, this study had the objective 1) to evaluate the production of corn grain at different periods of intercropping with Brachiaria brizantha and Panicum maximum in no tillage system, and 2) aimed to evaluate the performance of forage at different periods of intercropping and the responses to nitrogen fertilization after the harvest of the corn, assessing mass productivity and quality. The experiment was carried out at the Lageado experimental farm, School of Agricultural Sciences, Botucatu campus belonged to São Paulo State University (UNESP) in structuralized Red Nitosol (Afisol). The experimental design was randomized blocks with four replications. The treatments were composed for four systems of no tillage involving corn: 1) single corn; 2) corn with Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu intercropped in the sowing; 3) corn with Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu intercropped with the fertilization of covering; 4) corn with Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça intercropped in the sowing and 5) corn with Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça intercropped with the fertilization of covering. After the harvest of the corn, it was applied, in equivalent quantities of nitrogen, ammonium nitrate in covering in doses of 0, 30, 60 and 120 kg ha-1, determining the forage mass productivity and quality. The simultaneous tillage of corn with P. maximum cv. Mombaça in the sowing compromises the grain productivity. When sowed in intercropping, B. brizantha presents a fiber concentration reduction and greater TDN concentration during the fall-spring period. Regarding benefits of intercropped cultures seeking to use in systems of production like agriculture-pasture integration, the best intercropping to be utilized is corn sown simultaneously with B. brizantha cv. Marandu.
