Non root feeding with two sources of zinc on Coffea arábica L. 'mundo novo'(B.Rodr.) Choussy

A trial was carried out on an eight old coffee plantation with visible zinc problems. The plantation was situated nearly the city of Jaú (22º30'S, 48º30'W). State of São Paulo, Brazil. The soil is classified as medium texture Oxisol of low base saturation (Latossol Vermelho Amarelo - fase arenosa). The pulverization program started in november 1977, followed in march and July 1978 (heavy harvest) and ended in march and July 1979 (light harvest). Is should be mentioned that a well reconized characteristic of arábica coffe is its habit of biennial bearing, a very heavy harvest is most often followed by a light load the next year. The following treatments and amounts of chemicals per cova hole (4 trees) were tested in accordance with a random block design: 1. 1 g of zinc (zinc sulphate, 0.5%) 2. 3 g of nitrogen (urea, 1.3%) 3. 1 g of zinc + 3 g of nitrogen (zinc sulphate 0.5% + urea 1.3%) 4. 0.25 g, 0.50 g, 1.00 g, 2.00 g of zinc plus 0.75 g, 1.50 g, 3.00 g and 6.00 of nitrogen (correspondent to NZN* 15-0-0-5 as 0.75%, 1-5%, 3.0% and 6.0% by v/v). Foliar absorption data were obtained by collecting the 3rd and 4th pairs of the coffee leaves and analysed them for N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn. The main results may be summarized as follows: 1. The maximum calculated yields of clean coffee were obtained by the applications of 5.84 1 of NZN (1.13%) per hectare. 2. The applications of zinc sulphate (0.5%) and urea (1.3%) together or separate did not affected the coffee bean production. 3. The applications of 15.0 1 of NZN per hectare reduced the coffee yields. 4. Leaf damages and burning symptoms were observed by the applications of urea (1.3%) plus zinc sulphate (0.5%) and larger doses than 7.5 1 of NZN per hectare. 5. Leaf tissue analysis show that the concentrations of the elements were affecred by the age of the leaves and by the yields of the coffee trees. 6. The applications of increasing doses of NZN causes an increase in the concentration of zinc, manganese and boron in the leaves and decreased the concentration in calcium and potassium the leaves. 7. The concentration of zinc in the leaves associated with the heavy harvest, in July, was 70.0 ppm.

Nutrição mineral de plantas ornamentais XII: Deficiências de N, P, Ca, Mg, S e B em crisântemo (Chrysanthemum morifolium cv golden polaris)

Com o objetivo de determinar: Os sintomas de deficiência de macronutrientes e de boro, de modo a relacioná-los com a composição química da planta; Foi conduzido um experimento em casa-de-vegetação com plantas de crisântemo cultivadas em substrato de sílica e irrigadas com soluções nutritivas, submetidas aos tratamentos: completo, omissão e nitrogênio (-N), omissão de fósforo (-P), omissão de potássio (-K), omissão de cálcio (-Ca), omissio de magnésio (-Mg), omissão de enxofre (-S) e omissão de boro (-B). O desenvolvimento dos sintomas foi acompanhado e, ao final do ciclo, as plantas foram colhidas e separadas em folhas novas, folhas velhas, hastes e inflorescências para serem analisadas quanto a concentração dos nutrientes. Os autores concluiram que: A sintomatologia de carência de nutrientes aparece, em sequência, para os elementos N, B, S, K, Ca, P e Mg, sendo mais pronunciada nos tratamentos -N, -K, -B e -Ca. Os níveis de nutrientes nas folhas de plantas sadias, expressos em função da matéria seca, estão na faixa de:N-1,02% -2,25%; P-0,08%-0,13%; K-2,79%-2,87%; Ca -1,18%-1 ,68%; Mg-0,70%-0,93%; S- 0,93%-0,13% e B-56,5 ppm-67,25 ppm. Os níveis de nutrientes nas folhas de plantas com sintomas de carência, expressos na matéria seca, são: N-0,73%; P-0,03%; K-0,42%; Ca-0,46%; Mg-0,48%; S-0,10% e B-33 ppm.
