Nutrient requirements of exotic tree species in Zimbabwe

Abstract: Pot and field experiments were conducted in the greenhouse and at three field sites (Marondera, Domboshawa and Makoholi) in Zimbabwe to examine the effects of soils and fertilizers on nutrient uptake and growth of 6 exotic tree species (Eucalyptus camaldulensis, E. grandis, E. tereticornis, Leucaena leucocephala, Casuarina cunninghamiana, and Acacia holosericea). Plant growth, N and P contents of all species were increased by the application of N, P, K and micronutrient fertilizers. The effect of individual nu… Show more

“…The mean pH, total C and exchangeable Ca and Mg contents in the top soil layers were comparable to those of other Nigerian sites and other countries. Exchangeable K content in the top soil layers for E. camaldulensis was lower than that in Zimbabwe (Sanginga et al. 1991), and as low as that reported in India (Hunter 2001) and Benin (Drechsel and Schmall 1990).…”

“…Contudo, defi ciências minerais e distúrbios de crescimento são comuns em espécies arbóreas com alto potencial de crescimento (SANGINGA et al, 1991). Sorreano et al (2008) observaram para a mesma espécie os sintomas de defi ciência de boro (B), cobre (Cu), ferro (Fe), manganês (Mn), molibdênio (Mo), zinco (Zn) e o seu efeito na composição mineral das folhas e no crescimento das mudas.…”

“…Estudos realizados por Sanginga et al (1991) constataram que a produtividade das espécies arbóreas com alto potencial de crescimento, como, por exemplo, a espécie Croton urucurana, é freqüentemente limitada por restrições nutricionais e hídricas, tornando necessário, para o êxito da implantação dessas espécies em solos marginais, o conhecimento de suas necessidades nutricionais, o que ajudará na escolha de espécies adequadas a ambientes de baixa fertilidade.…”

“…Na revegetação de áreas de solos degradados devem ser plantadas espécies adaptáveis às condições edáficas dominantes. Para isso, é necessário o conhecimento das limitações do solo e das exigências nutricionais das espécies a serem plantadas (SANGINGA et al, 1991).…”
