The objective of this work was to evaluate the performance of basil cultivars and hybrids in two cropping seasons. The experiments were conducted in a randomized block design, with three replications. Twenty-four basil genotypes were tested (20 commercial cultivars and four hybrids), in the dry season (oct.-dec./2015) and in the rainy season (apr.-jun./2016). The evaluated variables were: plant height (cm plant...
Em Sergipe, a alface (Lactuca sativa L.) é uma das hortaliças mais produzidas em sistemas irrigados, portanto é importante estudar meios que propiciem o melhor rendimento para a cultura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência de diferentes tipos de cobertura do solo e a necessidade de adubação orgânica (esterco bovino) na produção de alface – cultivar Babá de Verão. O estudo foi desenvolvido na Faze...
