The use of saline waters in agriculture has become an alternative for the expansion of irrigated agriculture in the semiarid regions. However, it is necessary to develop techniques capable of mitigating the effects of stress caused by excess salts on plants. In this context, the objective of present study was to evaluate the growth and production of cotton cv. BRS Jady irrigated with waters of increasing levels...
The scarcity of good quality water and the occurrence of long dry periods are limiting factors for irrigated agriculture, especially in semiarid regions, which induces the use of saline water and technologies that enable its use in agriculture. In this context, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of exogenous application of proline on growth and phytomass of BRS 226 Planalto precoci...
Quantitative and qualitative limitations of water resources in Northeast Brazil, besides the excessive use of fertilizers without criteria related to soil analysis and crop needs, has called the attention for studies on techniques that allow saline waters to be used in agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate physiological and growth responses of grafted guava plants, cv. Paluma, as a function of irrigation wi...
