Yield and Quality of Passion Fruit Under Organic Cultivation With Input Levels and Irrigation in the State of Acre

Abstract: The use of organic fertilizers can improve the chemical, physical, and biological properties of the soil, with their use implying low environmental impact. This study aimed to evaluate the yield and quality of yellow passion fruit grown in an organic system associated with irrigation and input levels. A randomized complete block design in a 3x2 factorial arrangement with four replications was adopted. The factors evaluated were: three input levels (fertilizers and alternative pesticides) and the presence or ab… Show more

“…Since there is no significant difference in profitability and revenue between irrigation and rainfed cultivation, the physical and economic planning of the irrigation system for passion fruit is necessary since prolonged water stress periods require supplementary irrigation for this crop (UCHÔA et al, 2021b), otherwise compromising fruit production even with the return of natural water availability due to irreversible stress (GALVÃO et al, 2020). In this case, higher rainfall rates decrease the variable cost (electricity and maintenance) with water supplementation.…”

“…Although the North region of Brazil offers favorable edaphoclimatic conditions for passion fruit cultivation, the annual rainfall is distributed asymmetrically throughout the year, with a drought period from May to September (INMET, 2020), limiting passion fruit cultivation since the crop requires 86 mm month -1 of water during flowering and fruit setting (DUTRA et al, 2018). Water availability is indispensable to reaching higher fruit yields and quality (CAVALCANTE et al, 2020;UCHÔA et al, 2021b), justifying the use of complementary irrigation as a profitable technique while observing the amount and moment of water application (ARAÚJO et al, 2013).…”

“…The greatest increases were observed in yellow passion fruit in the soil with the polymer and grown in the 64-dm 3 (+26.31%) and 128-dm 3 (+25.14%) planting hole volumes. Therefore, when under a proper water supply, yellow passion fruit plants can achieve their maximum yield (Uchoa et al, 2021).…”

“…In the Northeast, the primary production areas are located in semi-arid regions, which, despite ideal soil and climatic conditions for yellow passion fruit cultivation, face temporal and spatial limitations in rainfall and low availability of water in terms of quantity and quality in reservoirs, necessitating supplemental irrigation (Freire et al, 2014;Araújo et al, 2022). According to Uchoa et al (2021), inadequate water supply to yellow passion fruit is one of the most limiting factors for production and, in general, plants under water deficit conditions reduce their physiological processes, limiting gas exchange and carbon assimilation, thereby resulting in reduced yields (Cavalcante et al, 2020).…”

“…Although Northern Brazil offers favorable edaphoclimatic conditions for passion fruit cultivation, the typical drought period in the southwest Amazon region, usually from May to September (Inmet, 2020), significantly limits passion fruit cultivation, mainly because this crop requires 86 mm of water month -1 during flowering and fruit setting (Dutra et al, 2018). This water deficit reduces passion fruit production under rainfed farming conditions (Silva et al, 2019;Uchôa et al, 2021b), after which plants might not be able to recover, thus compromising the following season (Galvão et al, 2020). Therefore, irrigation is used to reduce the effects of water deficit and increase crop yield (Cavalcante et al, 2020).…”
