Growth and production of dwarf coconut in saline-sodic soil under doses of potassium sulfate

Abstract: The objective was to study the influence of potassium sulfate doses applied to the soil on the growth and production of green dwarf coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) grown in saline-sodic soil. The experiment was conducted from January 2013 to January 2016, in a commercial plantation in the Sector 7 of the ‘Várzeas de Sousa’ Irrigation District, PB, Brazil, in saline-sodic Ebanic Vertisol. The experiment used coconut plants belonging to green dwarf variety, arranged in a 7.0 x 7.0 m rectangular shape, starting the t… Show more

“…Highest contents were found in shrimp farming waste; therefore, its use may lead to Na accumulation in the soil and cause negative effects on chemical and physical properties and on its biological processes (Sanchéz et al, 2017). In addition, excess salinity in the soil can compromise the availability of water and nutrients to plants, directly affect the osmotic potential of the soil solution and, additionally, high level of exchangeable Na may lead to degradation of soil structure, dispersion of clays and toxicity to plants (Pereira et al, 2017 , respectively ( Table 2). The treatment T1 (shrimp farming waste) showed the lowest C content, whereas T2, T3, T4 and T5 showed higher values, and the highest C content was found in T5 (waste from guava processing agro-industry).…”

“…On the other hand, GCSL contains high concentration of potassium, a nutrient required in greater quantity in the dwarf coconut cultivation, due to the beneficial effects on growth and fruit production (PEREIRA et al, 2017). Therefore, this residue has the potential to totally or partially replace the mineral fertilizer, potassium chloride, which is the source of K 2 O most commonly used in coconut cultivation.…”

“…Whole plant parts can utilize those roles in the flesh, leaves, trees, and roots. The fruit can produce after about 6 to 10 years (Pereira et al, 2017;Kaur et al, 2019;Nzekwe and Nzekwe, 2021). This commodity has contributed to Indonesian non-oil and gas exports.…”
