Plant growth can be monitored over time, through the determination of variables such as dry matter and leaf area, as it is related to the increase in dry matter from the conversion of simple inorganic substances into organic substances, through the process of photosynthesis . From the evaluation of the growth data, techniques for managing the species can be developed, or the causes of variation between plants t...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of water absorption and cytochemical changes in primed and aged seeds of sorghum during germination under absence or presence of 100 mM NaCl. The initial batch of seeds of sorghum cv. IPA-1011, was divided into two batches of different levels of vigor, by the accelerated aging of half seeds, with half of each batch also referred to the priming of polyethylene glyco...
A agricultura no Brasil vem crescendo cada vez mais devido aos investimentos com pacotes tecnológicos e é necessário que haja o encontro dessas informações com os produtores rurais de uma forma facilitada quanto ao entendimento dos termos técnico-científicos. O processamento dessas informações no meio acadêmico deve constituir pilares importantes para o aumento da produtividade no meio agrícola, uma vez que for...
This study aimed at comparing the growth and physiological changes in Jatropha curcas L. (jatropha or physic nut) young plants fertilized or not with a commercial product based on a micronutrient delivery system (MDS), under different doses of NPK. Measurements of growth, chlorophyll content, and leaf gas exchange were performed in the greenhouse, where plants were arranged in a split-split plot design. Plants ...
Studies approaching jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) growth through quantitative analysis parameters are limited, especially regarding the response to different fertilizer types and doses. In order to investigate the effects of a micronutrient delivery system (MDS) fertilizer, a full quantitative analysis of growth in jatropha young plants was performed, comparing this system effectiveness under different NPK dose...
INTERFERÊNCIA DO ESPAÇAMENTO NO CRESCIMENTO E BIOMASSA DE SORGO SACARINO O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda Experimental Vale do Curu – Pentecoste/CE da Universidade Federal do Ceará, com o objetivo de avaliar a interferência do espaçamento no crescimento e na produção de biomassa do sorgo sacarino. O cultivar BRS 511 foi analisado em dois experimentos com delineamento em blocos casualizados, o primeiro, cr...
POTENCIAL ALELOPÁTICO DE EXTRATOS DE Cyperus rotundus L. NA GERMINAÇÃO E ESTABELECIMENTO DE PLÂNTULAS DE FEIJÃO-CAUPI Este trabalho investigou os efeitos alelopáticos de extratos de Cyperus rotundus L. na germinação de sementes e crescimento inicial das plântulas de Vigna unguiculata L. Walp. Extratos alcoólicos nas concentrações 0; 1,5%; 3,0%; 4,5%; 6,0%; 7,5% e 9,0%, obtidos a partir da trituração de folhas d...
Objetivou-se avaliar a germinação de sementes de diferentes cultivares de girassol armazenadas sob condições de estresse térmico. O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Análise de Sementes do Departamento de Fitotecnia da Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC), em Fortaleza - CE. Para a avaliação da influência da temperatura o experimento foi disposto em delineamento inteiramente casualizado em esquema fato...
This research was carried out in order to obtain basic data that can help them understand the physiological, biochemical and cytochemical responsible for the deterioration of aged seeds, reinvigoration of those primed and inhibition of germination and seedling establishment of sorghum under salt stress and study some of the mechanisms of adaptation to stress. The first chapter studies the effects of water stres...
Even though advances have been made in the techniques of seedling production, there are still many problems to be solved, especially with regard to the development of the root system of seedlings, depending on the containers used. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of recipient size and the plant cultivation time in the production of C. hospita seedlings. Seeds of carnauba (Copernicia hospi...
