The increase in water demand in regions with limited good-quality water resources makes it necessary to study the effect of low-quality water on plant metabolism. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of water and salt stress on the levels of mineral elements and accumulation of toxic elements Na+ and Cl− in the leaves and their consequences on the production variables of the sorghum cultivar IPA SF-15. The design adopted was randomized blocks in a factorial scheme (4 × 4), with four salt concentrations (1.5; 3.0; 4.5, and 6.0 dS m−1) and four irrigation depths (51.3; 70.6; 90.0, and 118.4% of crop evapotranspiration ETc) in three repetitions. To obtain nutrient, sodium, and chlorine contents in the leaf, we collected the diagnosis leaf from six plants per plot. For production data, we performed two harvests at 76 and 95 days after planting (silage point and for sucrose extraction). We evaluated the dry mass, fresh mass yield, and total dry mass for the two cutting periods and applied the F-test at the 5% significance level. There was an effect of water stress but not saline, making it possible to use saline water for sorghum irrigation. As for the toxicity of ions, the plant showed tolerance behavior to Na+ and Cl− ions. The grain filling phase was more sensitive than the final phase of the crop cycle.
Produção de mandioca para dupla aptidão (mesa e indústria) sob irrigação e aproveitamento do adubo residual em solo arenoso e pós cultivo do mamoeiro Production of cassava for double fitness (table and industry) under irrigation and use of residual fertilizer in sandy soil and cultural powder of papaya
A mandioca apresenta diversos usos, conferidos pela diversidade de variedades disponíveis. A presença de cultivares com mais de um uso, seja para consumo de mesa ou industrial, facilita sua utilização pelos agricultores. Cultivares melhoradas, tradicionais e híbridos de mandioca, indicadas para o consumo de mesa, avaliadas quanto ao potencial de uso da indústria, no município de Mossoró, RN, em um Cambissolo, sob condições e irrigação. O plantio foi realizado em 25.08.2017, sendo a qualidade de cozimento e as produções de raízes e amido avaliadas aos 11 meses de idade das plantas. Havia diferença entre as mandiocas, com a produtividade de raízes variando de 20,3 a 30,4 t ha-1, com quatro destas indicadas para o consumo de mesa e seis para uso industrial. O tempo de cozimento varia de 11 a 14 minutos e o teor de amido de 28,5 a 34,6%, podendo ser as principais indicações, junto com a produtividade, para os produtores quanto a diversificação de uso.
