“…As observed for leaf length in calla lily (Figure 3), Carneiro et al (2011) and Souza et al (2010) found similar values for leaf widths of 24.77 cm and 20.99 cm for the same crop at 210 days of cultivation. Almeida (2015) observed leaves of calla lily plants approximately 11.25 cm wide at 360 days, again similar to the result obtained with plants grown in phenolic foam in the semihydroponic system.…”

“…The length of the calla lily leaves grown in vermiculite or sand was quite satisfactory, and they grew fast, compared to plants grown in a traditional cultivation system for a longer time (Carneiro et al, 2011 andSouza et al, 2010). However, when grown in phenolic foam or expanded clay, the length of the leaves, 17.8 cm, resembled the 16.79 cm reported in plants grown in water with nutrient solution (Almeida et al, 2015). This indicates that this species, despite adapting to hydroponic cultivation, presents better development when inert substrates with lower porosity are used.…”

“…It is noteworthy that the development of calla lily plants in a conventional production (cultivation in soil) system increases development and flower production (Carneiro et al, 2011). Regarding nutritional requirements, N, B, and S are the most demanded by calla lily plants (Almeida et al, 2015). However, calla lily is sensitive to salinity caused by excessive doses of fertilizers .…”

The soilless cultivation of plants is an alternative for the production of flowers with high quality. Calla lily is normally produced on soil benches, but have shown some limitations as bacterial infections occur. One alternative may be a soilless cultivation. Hence, experiments were conducted with the objective to evaluate the development of calla lily in two types of hydroponic production systems. The semihydroponic system was tested using as substrates or growing media such as, coconut fiber, sand, vermiculite, and phenolic foam sheets. For the other system, ebb-and-flow, the substrates tested were vermiculite, coconut fiber, and expanded clay. Two different nutritional solutions were tested in both systems. in the semihydroponic system. In general, calla lily was adapted and showed a good development in a soilless cultivation. The best initial development of the calla lily was provided using vermiculite and sand as substrates on semihydroponic. And for the ebb-and-flow system, coconut fiber induced better development. As conclusion, hydroponic cultivation systems are efficient for the initial development of calla lily. The recommended substrates are those with lower porosity, such as sand, vermiculite, and coconut fiber.

“…There are some results showing plant response to specific fertilization and discussion on aspects of the mineral nutrition. In general, calla lily plants are responsive to different sources of organic and mineral fertilization, but nutrient deficiency can limit the development as occurred in other species (Almeida et al, 2015;Boldrin et al, 2019). In plants grown in the field, high doses of NPK 10:10:10 (350 kg 1000 m -2 ) and manure (40 L m -2 ) provided better calla lily plant development (Almeida et al, 2012a).…”

“…Nutrient deficiency in calla lily compromises plant quality and inflorescences production, besides the visual symptoms have been observed such as reduction on development, necrosis, and anomalies (Fernandes et al, 2012;Almeida et al, 2015). Besides the characterization of the visual symptoms, it is necessary to perform chemical analyses to confirm the nutritional deficiency.…”

Knowledge about the nutritional aspects of calla lily, an important species for the floriculture industry, is essential for quality on cultivation. As there are variations in the symptoms of nutritional deficiencies among species, it is necessary to study the development of plants and their nutritional status when grown under nutrient omission. Thus, the aim was to evaluate the development of calla lily plants and identify the levels of nutrients and their interactions in cultivation conditions under nutritional deficiency. The treatments consisted in the use of the complete nutrition solution and the omission of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, B, and Mn, separately. The experimental design was in randomized block design with four replications. The omissions of P, S, Ca, K, N, and B have influenced the plant development providing lower production of leaves and in small size, reduction on shoots production and less leaves emitted by the shoots, besides a lower values of dry matter. Among these nutrients, the deficiencies that most affected the growth and quality of calla lily plants development were N, B and Ca. The B and N deficiency inhibited the flowering and the absence of S and K provided inflorescences production with lower quality, besides malformation. The main interactions that occurred were increasing in the content of K (leaves), Fe (leaves) and Mn (leaves and inflorescences) in the absence of Ca. In the absence of Mg there was an increase in Ca (leaves, rhizomes, and inflorescences), Zn (leaves and roots) and Fe (rhizomes). It can be concluded that the nutritional deficiencies that most affected the production of inflorescences in calla lily were those of B, N, P, K, Ca, and S and the main nutritional interactions occurred in the absence of Ca with an increase in K, Fe and Mn and an increase in Ca, Fe and Zn in the absence of Mg.
