A culture is an activity that stands out in the semi-arid region of the Northeast of Brazil for the management of entrepreneurship and income. However, in this region, agricultural production has been affected by excess salts in water and soil. Therefore, the search for strategies that reduce the problems caused by salinity in cashew cultivation is of great importance, with organic fertilization being a promisi...
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...
This study was conducted to evaluate the gas exchange, growth, and quality of passion fruit cultivars under irrigation with waters of different salinity levels. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, in Pombal-PB, Brazil, using a randomized block design in a 5 ? 2 factorial arrangement, with five levels of electrical conductivity of irrigation water (0.3, 1.1, 1.9, 2.7, and 3.5 dS m-1) and two passion fr...
The semi-arid region of Northeastern Brazil has water limitations in terms of both quantity and quality, with salt stress as a limiting factor for increasing yield in most crops. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate cell damage, gas exchange, and growth of custard apple under salt stress and potassium fertilization. The research was carried out at the Experimental Farm of CCTA/UFCG, in São Domin...
