The growth and nutrition of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) plantlets under different water retention regimes and manure

Abstract: Despite the many advantages of pineapple plants offered by micropropagation, there is difficulty in rooting and slowness in the growth of seedlings, requiring a long period of acclimatization in the greenhouses. The aim of this study was to evaluate organic sources and water retention polymers used for pineapple cultivar seedlings during the acclimatization phase. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a 2 × 2 × 3 factorial design. Bovine and goat manures were the organic sources that provided the gr… Show more

“…'Vitória' showed higher number of leaves (NL) ( Table 4). These results were higher than those observed by Mendonça et al (2017), who, at 270 days of acclimatization, verified PH of 19.6 and 20 cm and NL of 19.2 and 20.6 leaves, for cultivars 'Vitória' and 'Imperial', respectively, in substrate composed of soil and goat manure (1:1 v/v). The authors verified a better morphological performance of cv.…”

“…At 210 days of acclimatization, treatments standard substrate (SS) and standard substrate with carbonized rice husk (SS + C) showed plant height (PH) below (≤ 13.8 cm) the 20-30 cm recommended for field planting (Berilli et al, 2011;Mendonça et al, 2017) (Table 4). Table 4 -Shoot and root growth of the 'Pérola', 'Vitória' and 'Imperial' pineapples as function of the substrate.…”

“…The superiority of bovine manure can be explained by the higher content of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) in these sources. Such elements are directly involved in photosynthesis and respiration, which possibly resulted in an increased performance of seedlings when bovine manures were incorporated into the substrate (Mendonça et al, 2017).…”
