Adubação foliar de sulfato de zinco na produtividade e teores foliares de zinco e fosforo de cafeeiros arábica

Aiming to evaluate the dose and application schedule of foliar Zn-sulfate spraying in growing and yield of Arabic coffee Mundo Novo, a field experiment was set up on Distroferric Red Latosol, at the Experimental Station of the EPAMIG in São Sebastião do Paraíso. The statistical design used was randomized blocks in s 4 x 2 factorial scheme with five replications and a 30-plant plot with six central valid or four applications per agricultural year. Phosphorus and zinc leaf levels were evaluated for eight years and the yields. It was possible to conclude that there is a positive response to the in the leaves. Four low concentrations sprayings promoted higher yields than two high concentrations. The highest yields were achieved with 10.8 and 12.6 kg ha-1 of ZnSO4 and 4 yearly applications, respectively. It is suggested as a critical range for the Zn leaves values between 10 and 28 mg kg-1 and for P/Zn ratio, between 100 and 150. ) was sprayed under 4 concentrations 0; 0.5; 1.0 and 1.5%, two applied on the leaves in terms of yield, and to Zn levels

Nitrogen and potassium fertilization on the yield and intensity of the maize white spot

A plant’s nutritional balance can influence its resistance to diseases. In order to evaluate the effect of increasing doses of N and K on the yield and severity of the maize white spot, two experiments were installed in the field, one in the city of Ijaci, Minas Gerais, and the other in the city of Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. The experimental delimitation was in randomized blocks with 5 x 5 factorial analysis of variance, and four repetitions. The treatments consisted of five doses of N (20; 40; 80; 150; 190 Kg ha-1 of N in the experiments 1 and 2) and five doses of K (15; 30; 60; 120; 180 Kg ha-1 of K in experiment 1 and 8.75; 17.5; 35; 50; 100 Kg ha-1 of K in experiment 2). The susceptible cultivar 30P70 was planted in both experiments. The plot consisted of four rows 5 meters long, with a useful area consisting of two central rows 3 meters each. Evaluations began 43 days after emergence (DAE) in the first experiment and 56 DAE in the second one. There was no significant interaction between doses of N and K and the disease progress. The effect was only observed for N. The K did not influence the yield and the severity of the disease in these experiments. Bigger areas below the severity progress curve of the white spot and better yield were observed with increasing doses of N. Thus, with increasing doses of N, the white spot increased and also did the yield.

Cobre via foliar na nutrição e na produção de mudas de cafeeiro

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sources and doses of copper (Cu) applied to leaves on growth and nutrition of coffee seedlings. The treatments consisted of combinations of two Cu sources (Cupric Sulfate Ammonium - CSA and Copper Sulfate - CS) and four Cu doses (0, 250, 500 and 1000 g ha-1). The sources of Cu in different doses were dissolved in water, calculated for the application volume of 400 L ha-1. The doses were divided in 3 applications at 20 days. The Cu content and concentration in the leaf, stem, and root in were measured. The dry matter of the leaf, stem, root and total and the utilization, absorption and translocation efficiency, in coffee seedlings were evaluated. In general the Cu content and concentration were obtained for the CS at doses of 250, 500 and 1000 g ha-1 Cu. The maximum increase of total dry matter was 48 and 51 g to CSA and CS, when applied 534 and 668 g ha-1, respectively. The highest utilization and absorption efficiency was found to CSA and CS, respectively. The translocation efficiency was similar for both sources.

Processo infeccioso de Pseudocercospora musae e severidade da Sigatoka Amarela da bananeira em função do silício, potássio e cálcio em solução nutritiva

Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot, caused by Pseudocercospora musae (Mycosphaerella musicola), is one of main threats to banana production around the world. However, information regarding the infection process of P. musae and the influence of mineral nutrition on the disease severity could help with cultural control strategies and increase the fruit yield. Therefore, this work aimed to characterize the infectious process of P. musae in banana leaves, to study the effect of silicon (Si) and the interaction between potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) on the Yellow Sigatoka leaf spot severity. In the first study, samples were inoculated on the abaxial leaf surface with P. musae and analyzed at 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, and 168 hours after inoculation (HAI) as well as 36 and 50 days after inoculation (DAI). The conidia germinated between 24 and 36 HAI and penetrated through the stomata between 96 and 120 HAI, or usually from 144 HAI. P. musae colonized intercellularly the spongy parenchyma at 36 DAI and inter- and intracellularly the palisade parenchyma at 50 DAI. The sporulation occurred at 50 DAI on the adaxial leaf surfaces. In the second study, banana plants grown in nutrient solution with 0; 0.5; 1.0; 1.8 and 3.6 mmol L -1 of silicic acid (H 4SiO 4) were inoculated with conidial suspension. The disease severity was assessed and data were integrated in the area under the disease severity progress curve (AUDSPC). The lower AUDSPC was 49.27% for the concentration of 3.05 mmol L -1 of H 4SiO 4 compared to plants grown without Si addition. Regarding silicon accumulation, at 3.6 mmol L -1 H4SiO 4, leaf Si content was 23.53% higher compared to the control. In the third study, plants grown in nutrient solution with 5 K concentrations (1, 2, 4, 6, and, 8 mmol L -1 ) combined with 5 Ca concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7, and, 9 mmol L -1 ), forming 25 treatments, were inoculated with conidial suspension. The disease severity was assessed and the data were integrated in the AUDSPC. There was no interaction between concentrations of K and Ca for AUDSPC, although the AUDSPC increased with the increase of K concentrations from 1 to 6 mmol L -1 . The K increase led to a reduction in chlorophyll a and b contents and in the N, P, Mg, B, Cu, Zn, and, Mn nutrients as well as increased the total plant dry weight.
