“…In this experiment, no significant differences were found between treatments (Table 4). The results are in accordance with previous studies which obtained no differences in soluble solids content between different fertilisation treatments [33]. Ferreira et al [32] stated that cultural conditions do not affect the content of soluble solids in tomato.…”

The valorisation of vegetal waste as a source of crop nutrients constitutes a circular strategy to improve the sustainability of intensive horticultural production systems. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of organic amendments derived from vegetal residues on the yield and quality of tomato. The following fertilisation treatments were carried out: fresh vegetal residues (4 kg m−1), compost (3 kg m−1), and vermicompost at two different doses (3 and 9 kg m−1), all derived from previous tomato crop vegetal residues, an organic treatment with goat manure (3 kg m−1), and a control mineral fertigation treatment. The highest yield was obtained with conventional mineral fertigation management, followed by vermicompost treatments at two different doses (3 and 9 kg m−1), with no statistical differences. The organic treatments with fresh crop residues, compost and goat manure resulted in lower yield. Regarding quality parameters, the lycopene content was higher in the mineral fertilisation and vermicompost at 3 kg m−1 treatment, while the other antioxidants measured were more concentrated in tomatoes fertilised with vermicompost treatment at 9 kg m−1 and goat manure. The plant nutrient management with vermicompost is the best circular solution, as it allows to reintegrate the residues generated in previous crop cycles into the soil, obtaining a yield equal to chemical input management and tomatoes with high nutritional quality.

“…The chemically enriched bovine biofertilizer promoted an increase in the number of fruits, which is due, in addition to the improvement of soil fertility (Sales et al 2019;Lima Neto et al 2021), to the increase in microbial activity beneficial to plants and a greater availability in nutrients in the soil attributed to organic input (Cavalcante et al 2019). This fact agrees with what was observed by Matos et al (2021) when evaluating the effect of irrigation and organic fertilization as an alternative to chemistry and finding that increasing the water depth enhanced the yield of cherry tomato fruits and organic fertilization is an alternative to chemical without losses in culture yield.…”

Biofertilizer and reduction of water losses in soil cultivated with tomato irrigated with moderately saline water

et al. 2023

In semi-arid regions, agricultural production is often limited due to scarcity and rainfall irregularities, and, therefore, the production system depends on irrigation. In this direction, the research aimed to evaluate the influence of the reduction of water losses in the soil through the coating of the lateral faces of the planting furrows with plastic film, by lateral infiltration of water and bovine biofertilizers for growth in height, production, and chlorophyll responses of tomato cv. Fascínio F1 irrigated with moderately saline water. The experiment was carried out in randomized blocks, in a 2 × 3 factorial scheme, with 4 replicates and 21 plants per plot. Different conditions were used and compared with each other: the furrow had side coating or not, and the soil received a common biofertilizer (fresh lactating bovine manure), chemically enriched fertilizer (common biofertilizer, milk, molasses, and gypsum), or no fertilizer at all. The variables evaluated were soil moisture, plant height, a, b, and total chlorophyll content, number and average fruit mass, tomato production, and productivity. The enriched bovine biofertilizer associated with the lateral furrow coating increased the synthesis of chlorophyll pigments, the number of fruits per plant, and the productivity of tomato cv. Fascínio F1. Protecting the faces of the furrows against water losses from the root environment of plants keeps the soil moist, stimulates the synthesis of chlorophyll, and increases the average mass of the fruits. The common bovine biofertilizer promotes greater growth in plant height, and the chemically enriched biofertilizer increases the average weight of tomato fruits.

“…Based on the data on grain production and water consumption by the crop (ETc), it was possible to evaluate the efficiency of water use by the crop, so a relationship was made between the production of each plant by the amount of water consumed by it (Matos et al, 2021). The efficiency of the use of water by the cultivation of mung beans was obtained according to a methodology adapted from Guan et al (2015), according to Equation 3.…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to calculate the evapotranspiration of irrigated mung bean crops in the Cerrado region of Mato Grosso. Theoretical Frame: This research used the following main citations as a theoretical basis: Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) for the methodology for classifying soil characteristics; and Guan et al. (2015) using the water use efficiency methodology. Method: The study was carried out from April to June 2023 at the State University of Mato Grosso (UNEMAT), in Nova Mutum – MT. Each experimental unit consisted of a lysimeter with 18 L of volume, spaced 0.40 m between rows and 0.05 m between plants, with a total of 12 experimental plots. Irrigation management was carried out daily considering irrigation volume, precipitation and drainage. Variables analyzed: crop evapotranspiration, water use efficiency and grain productivity. Scatterplots and Boxplot (descriptive statistics) were created for a better analysis of the results obtained. Results and Conclusions: The total evapotranspiration of the mung bean crop was 521.10 mm during 50 days of cultivation and the daily average was 10.63 mm. Grain productivity for mung bean cultivation in the soil and climate conditions of Mato Grosso was 5,325 kg per hectare. The water use efficiency of mung beans in the Cerrado of Mato Grosso was 1.66 kg of grains per m3 of water. The results of this study provide knowledge about the water consumption of mung beans and serve as a basis for irrigation management by bean producers in the Cerrado region of Mato Grosso. Implications of the research: The results achieved with this study are of great relevance for the purposes of the Department of Agricultural Engineering of the State University of Mato Grosso, Nova Mutum Campus, as well as for the academic and scientific community and producers in the Cerrado region of Mato Grosso who aim to cultivate irrigated mung beans. Originality and value: This research aimed to disseminate to the academic and scientific community and producers of Cerrado Mato-Grossense the need for water required by the Mungo bean crop throughout the cultivation cycle, in which this information will serve as a basis for agricultural planning in the region, such as: volume of water needed to cultivate mung beans aiming for maximum productivity, savings on water, electricity and labor.
