Yield and Quality of Strawberry Fruits Fertilized With Bovine Biofertilizer

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of bovine biofertilizer on yield and post harvest of the strawberry crop in different growing environments. The experiment was carried out in two cycles of production, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, arranged in subdivided plots, where the plots were of three cultivated environments (A1 = protected environment with screens, cold-water spraying, and white floor; A2 = environment with full sun, cold-water spraying, and white floor; A3 = environment with full sun, no cold-water spraying, and grey floor). The subplots consisted of five doses of biofertilizer (D1 = 0,0, D2 = 500, D3 = 750, D4 = 1000 and D5 = 1250 mL plant-1 week -1), with five replications. In the two-year period, the dose was higher in the protected environment of the weed type, with nebulization and on the white floor, at the dose of 500 mL week-1 plant-1 in the first cycle and 325 mL week-1 plant-1 in the second cycle. The dose of bovine biofertilizer of 1250 mL week-1 plant-1 promotes a longer duration and duration of the first cycle. During the second cycle, as the bovine biofertilizer doses of 585 and 620 provide higher and lower output than the protected environment. The environment without nebulization and on the floor without painting, the best soluble practices (Brix) in relation to the protected environment of the type screened and a full sun with nebulization.

Canjá et al (2021) According to SANTOS et al (2019), biofertilizers favor further development of cultures. Similar results regarding the effect of organic inputs on root length were reported by Mesquita et al (2012) in papaya culture and by Véras et al (2015) in cashew seedlings.…”

“…The number of leaves (Figure 3) was statistically similar (P ≤ 0.05) between quail biofertilizers (16 units), mixed (15 units), bovine (16 units), and crab (15). Importante ressaltar que os biofertilizantes favorecem um maior desenvolvimento das culturas (SANTOS et al, 2019). Resultado similar quanto ao efeito de insumos orgânicos no comprimento de raízes, foram reportados por Mesquita et al (2012) na cultura do mamão e por Véras et al (2015) em mudas de cajueiro.…”

“…In order to minimize this problem, several studies have been aiming to develop crop management strategies that allow the use of saline water to irrigate plants. We can mention studies on the use of organic conditioners, such as biofertilizers, an organic source, low-cost and that may be produced by own farmers, generating a sustainable input economy in agriculture (SANTOS et al, 2019).…”

“…A fim de solucionar esta problemática, diversas pesquisas têm desenvolvido estratégias de manejo das culturas que permitem o uso de água salina na irrigação das plantas. Uma vertente de estudos com o uso de condicionadores orgânicos, mais notadamente os biofertilizantes, que é uma fonte orgânica de baixo custo e pode ser produzido pelo próprio agricultor, gerando economia de insumos na agricultura de forma sustentável (SANTOS et al, 2019).…”

Avaliação da germinação de milho e feijão sob efeito de biofertilizantes

“…O biofertilizante bovino vêm sido bastante discutido em vários trabalhos. Santos et al (2019) verificou aumento de diâmetro e comprimento nos frutos de morangueiro na dose de 1250 mL por semana. Lima et al (2018) cita o incremento na biomassa da parte aérea e total de morangueiro, ressaltando que o biofertilizante apresenta como excelente fonte nutricional.…”
