The use of genotypes more adapted to climatic conditions can contribute to increase the yield of onion producers. The goal of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance of 15 onion genotypes in the soil and climatic conditions of Guarapuava, state of Paraná. The study was conducted in the experimental area of Horticulture, Cedeteg campus, Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste (UNICENTRO), Guarapuava, ...
This study aimed to estimate plastochron, leaf area, and yield of Physalis peruviana seedlings grown in different environments and transplanted on different dates. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, arranged in a 2 x 3 factorial scheme, namely: two cultivation environments (protected and field) and three transplanting dates (10/27/2013, 12/15/2013, and 02/11/2014). Four replicates...
Strawberries are berry-type fruits that are very popular and widely consumed all over the world. The sensorial, physical-chemical and nutritional characteristics of strawberries are parameters of quality that influence the choices of consumers. However, these characteristics may be influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors that alter the fruit quality. The concentrations of nutrients and other chemical comp...
In Brazil, the culture of strawberries is an important activity for small and medium farmers. Among the important factors for culture is fertilization, which can interfere in production and fruit quality. Silicon (Si) is one of the little studied in fertilization, which demonstrated some beneficial to several different cultures. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of Si on production and c...
The objective of this work was to obtain information on the combining ability of sweet pepper lines by multivariate diallel analysis. Thirteen sweet pepper lines previously selected based on the reaction of sweet pepper yellow mosaic, being eight lines with resistance reaction and five susceptible lines, were used in a 8x5 partial diallel evaluated with the parental lines. The 53 genotypes were evaluated in gre...
The nutritional quality of strawberry fruits of the cultivars Camarosa and Sweet Charlie cultivated in organic and conventional cropping systems was compared based on chemical characterization of the fruits by analyses of soluble solids content (SS), titratable acidity (AT), ratio (SS/AT), humidity, reducer sugars and total sugars. The experiment was performed in completely randomized blocks design, with four r...
