“…Galizzi et al (2004) O tecido das plantas de palma cultivadas no espaçamento 1,00 x 0,50 m apresentou menores teores de cálcio e de cobre (Tabela 3). Neste arranjo, as plantas ficam melhor distribuídas na área e os sistemas radiculares mais dispersos, ao se compará-los com os outros dois arranjos que apresentam plantas espaçadas 0,25 m na fileira, o que favorece a existência de maior número de raízes explorando esta área.…”

“…Os teores de ferro nas duas épocas de avaliação (Tabelas 4 e 5) com médias de 37,88 e 45,20 mg kg -1 , são inferiores aos estimados por Nobel et al (1987) Galizzi et al (2004), 38,0 mg kg -1 , em trabalho conduzido na Argentina. Apesar do Na geralmente não ser considerado essencial às plantas, Epstein & Bloom (2006) informam, em sua revisão, que o Na é micronutriente para plantas com via CAM de fixação de carbono, como a palma forrageira, pois é essencial para a regeneração do fosfoenolpiruvato, o substrato da primeira carboxilação nessa via.…”

“…Changes in crop management, such as population density, combination of spacings and doses of organic (Donato et al, 2014) or chemical fertilization can interfere with the use of radiation and nutritional status of the plant (Galizzi et al, 2004;Silva et al, 2012), with consequent increment in the photosynthetic rates, growth and yield (Blanco-Macías et al, 2010), and in the extraction/exportation of nutrients. Ramos et al (2011) concluded that the spacing influences phytomass production and rainfall use efficiency, and the increments are higher for increasing densities .…”

A B S T R A C TThis study aimed to evaluate the extraction/exportation of macronutrients by cladodes of 'Gigante' cactos pear, grown under diferente spacings and doses of cattle manure applied to the soil 600 days after planting. Twelve treatments were used, three spacing (1.00 x 0.50; 2.00 x 0.25 and 3.00 x 1.00 x 0.25 m) and four doses of cattle manure (0, 30, 60 and 90 Mg ha -1 year -1 ), arranged in a 3 x 4 factorial scheme in randomized blocks, with three replicates. The extraction/exportation of N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg was determined, whose respective values for maximum dry matter production (21.8 Mg ha -1 ), with a cattle manure dose of 71.8 Mg ha -1 year -1 were: 287.9, 46.2, 924.2, 40.7, 609.7 and 249.1 kg ha -1 , 600 days after planting. The amounts extracted/exported from N, P, K and Ca varied independently with spacings and manure doses, while Mg and S were dependent on the interaction between factors. The doses of manure are insufficient to meet the demand of extracted/exported K, Ca and Mg. The increments in the doses promote greater nutrient uptake by the plant. The extracted/exported macronutrients in largest amounts are: K, Ca, N, Mg, P and S, in this order. Extração/exportação de macronutrientes por cladódios de palma forrageira 'Gigante' sob diferentes espaçamentos e adubação orgânica R E S U M O Objetivou-se, com este trabalho, avaliar a extração/exportação de macronutrientes por cladódios colhidos da palma forrageira 'Gigante' , cultivada sob diferentes espaçamentos e doses de esterco bovino aplicadas ao solo aos 600 dias após o plantio. Foram utilizados 12 tratamentos, três espaçamentos (1,00 x 0,50; 2,00 x 0,25 e 3,00 x 1,00 x 0,25 m) e quatro doses de esterco bovino (0; 30; 60 e 90 Mg ha -1 ano -1 ), dispostos em fatorial 3 x 4 num delineamento em blocos casualizados e três repetições. Determinaram-se a extração/exportação de: N, P, K, S, Ca e Mg cujos respectivos valores para máxima produção de matéria seca (21,8 Mg ha -1 ), com uma dose de esterco de 71,8 Mg ha -1 ano -1 foram: 287,9; 46,2; 924,2; 40,7; 609,7 e 249,1 kg ha -1 , aos 600 dias após plantio. As quantidades extraídas de N, P, K e Ca variaram de forma independente com espaçamentos e doses de esterco enquanto as de Mg e S foram dependentes da interação entre os fatores. As doses de esterco são insuficientes para atender às quantidades extraídas/exportadas de K, Ca e Mg. Os incrementos nas doses promovem maior extração de nutrientes pela planta. Os macronutrientes extraídos/ exportados em maior quantidade são: K, Ca, N, Mg, P e S, nesta ordem.

“…Organic and mineral nutrition research has focused on effects on yield, fruit size, fruit quality [2,[8][9][10][11][12][13], and off-season fruit yield [14][15][16][17][18]. Some reports have shown no effect of soil applications of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) either on yield [8,10,12] or on some fruit quality attributes at harvest [10,12]. Fruit sugar concentration has been an exception [10].…”

-Introduction. Studies of NPK application in cactus pear have focused on their effects on fruit yield and quality at harvest. Their effects on fruit postharvest life have been neglected. Our objective was therefore to study the influence of soil-applied NPK on some fruit quality attributes after three or four weeks of storage at room conditions for 'Cristalina' cactus pear. Materials and methods. The experiment was carried out in a commercial orchard in 2004, 2005, and 2006. Application rates were: 0, 30, 60, and 90 kg N ha −1 ; 0, 30, 45, and 60 kg P ha −1 , and 0, 30, and 60 kg K ha −1 . These rates were arranged in an incomplete factorial matrix in a randomised complete block design with three replications. Nine fruit per treatment (three per replication) were randomly harvested and stored for three or four weeks at room temperature. The measured fruit quality parameters were: weight, pulp to peel ratio, flesh firmness (FF), total soluble solids concentration (TSSC), dry matter concentration of pulp (DMCP), and fruit weight loss (FWL). Results and discussion. After storage, FF was the same among treatments for all years. The TSSC and DMCP were similar among treatments but tended to be lower with high rates of N. The rate of 90 kg N ha −1 increased the FWL. Conclusion. NPK applications produced inconsistent results; therefore, further research is needed in order to address the fruit quality of cactus pear as key for marketing and for consumers' acceptance.Keywords: Mexico / cactus pear / Opuntia albicarpa / firmness / fruit weight loss / shelf life Résumé -L'application au sol de NPK affecte la qualité et la durée de vie des fruits des figues de barbarie cv. 'Cristalina'. Introduction. Les études de fertilisation NPK du figuier de Barbarie ont généralement porté sur leurs effets sur le rendement et sur la qualité des fruits à la récolte. L'impact sur la qualité des fruits post-récolte a été négligé. C'est pourquoi notre objectif était d'étudier l'influence de la fertilisation NPK appliquée au sol sur certains critères qualitatifs des fruits mesurés après 3 ou 4 semaines de stockage à température ambiante. Neuf fruits par traitement (3 par répétition) ont été récoltés et stockés de façon aléatoire pendant 3 ou 4 semaines à température ambiante. Les paramètres suivants de qualité du fruit ont été mesurés : poids, rapport pulpe/peau, fermeté de la chair (FF), concentration en matières solubles (TSSC), teneur en de matière sèche de la pulpe (DMCP), et perte de poids des fruits (FWL). Résultats et discussion. Après stockage, FF était le même pour tous les traitements et quelque soit l'année. TSSC et DMCP étaient comparables entre traitements, mais avaient tendance à être plus faibles pour des doses de N élevées. La dose de 90 kg N ha −1 a fortement augmenté la FWL. Conclusion. L'application de NPK sur les cultures de figues de Barbarie a produit des résultats incohérents ; des recherches supplémentaires doivent être menées afin de maîtriser les facteurs de la qualité des fruits du figuier de Barbarie, la c...
