Análise do boro disponível em solos do estado de S. Paulo: I. Crescimento e composição mineral do girassol (Helianthus annuus Mill.)

Com a finalidade de determinar a disponibilidade do boro, cultivou-se o girassol em casa de vegetação, usando-se solos de cinco séries do município de Piracicaba, SP e sete doses do elemento. Durante o período experimental de 40 dias foram obtidos dados de crescimento e registrados sintomas de deficiência. No material colhido foram determinados macro e micronutrientes. Foram tiradas as seguintes conclusões principais: a altura das plantas refletiu o estado nutricional melhor do que qualquer outra característica das mesmas; o teor de B das folhas mais novas forneceu a melhor avaliação da resposta das plantas, entre as partes analisadas.Sunflower plants were grown in the greenhpuse in five soil series of the Piracicaba Country, S. Paulo, Brazil (Terra Roxa Estruturada, TRE; Roxo Latosol, LR; Red Latosol, LV; Red Yellow Podzolic: PVA- Quartz sand, AQ), under seven rates of B (from 0 to 1 ppm). A visual assessment, based on the age of the plants when first symptoms of B deficiency showed up, disclosed that the PVA had the lowest available B concentration being followed by LV, AQ, TRE and LR. Insolar as growth data are concerned it has been found that plant heightt was the characteristic showing higher correlation with available B in the soil. The tissue concentration of P, Mg, and B consistently increased at low levels of boron in the soil. The leaf concentration of Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn was unaffected by the B supply, the reverse being true, however, in the case of boron. The concentration of B in young leaves (upper third of the plant), among all organs (roots, stems, older leaves) analysed provided the best correlations with the availability of the micronutrient under study

Efeitos de diferentes níveis de N P K sobre o peso da matéria seca, na produção de mudas por via seminífera, do hedíquio amarelo, Hedychium gardnerianum sheppard ex ker-gawl, zingiberaceae

A study was made of the effect of different levels of N P K: N = 0,200, 400; P = 0,400, 800 and K = 0,200, 400 kg/ha, under field conditions, on the seedling production of ginger-lily, Hedyohium gardnerianum Sheppard ex Ker-gawl, Zingiberaceae and the influence on the dry matter Weight. From the data it was concluded that the best results were reached with the following levels: 20g of N; 80g of P; 20g of K/m² 40g of N; 80g of P; 40g of K/m² 20g of N; 40g of P; 40g of K/m².Estudou-se o efeito de aplicação de diferentes níveis de N P K: N = 0,200, 400; P = 0,400, 800 e K = 0,200, 400 kg/ha, em condições de campo na produção de mudas, por sementes, do hedíquio amarelo, Hedyohium gardnerianum Sheppard ex Ker-Gawl, Zingiberaceae, e sua influência sobre o peso da matéria seca. Através dos dados obtidos concluiu-se que a maior produção da matéria seca total, incluindo-se a parte aérea e o rizoma foram obtidos com os níveis de: a) 20g de N; 80 de P e 20 de K/m² b) 40g de N; 80 de P e 40 de K/m² c) 20g de N; 40 de P e 40 de K/m²

Influência das frações granulométricas sobre a fixação de zinco pelo solo

This paper was carried out in order to verify the effects of the clay, silt and sand soil fractions on zinc fixation by soils. Ten grams each of 30 samples of different soils were placed in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask and 4 ml of solution containing 100 mg of inert Zn and 0.70 mc of radioactive 65Zn were added. After 20 days of incubation, Zn was extracted with 20 ml of 0.01 M EDTA solution made 1 M with respect to (NH4)2CO3. An aliquot of 5 ml of the extract was transferred to a test-tube and radioactivity of 65Zn in it was measured with a scintillation counter. Quantity of fixed Zn by the different soils was calculated from the data obtained and counting made on the standard solution. It was concluded that clay and silt took part of the Zn fixation by the soil, but not the sand.Ao realizarem este trabalho os autores tiveram em mente verificar os efeitos das frações granulométricas do solo sobre a fixação de Zn pelo mesmo. Utilizaram, para tanto, uma técnica traçadora, sendo o 65Zn o elemento traçador. Concluíram que as frações argila e limo participam do fenômeno, mas não a fração areia

Influência do pH e dos teores de fosfato solúvel e matéria orgânica sobre a fixação de zinco pelo solo

The purpose of this experiment was to verify the effects of some properties of the soil as pH, and the content of soluble phosphate and organic matter on the soil capacity to fix zinc. Ten grams each of 30 samples of different soils were placed in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask and 4 ml of solution containing 100 mg of inert zinc and 0.7 mcof radioactive 65Zn were added. After 20 days of incubation, Zn was extracted with 20 ml of 0.01 M EDTA solution made 1M respect to (NH4)2CO3. An aliquot of 5 ml of the extract was transferred to a test tub and radioactivity of 65 Zn in it was measured with a scintillation counter. Quantity of zinc fixed by the different soils was calculated from the data obtained and county made on the standard solution. It was concluded that the amount of zinc fixed by the soil was positively correlated with pH, soluble phosphate and organic matter content of the soils.No presente trabalho os autores apresentam um estudo dos efeitos do pH e dos teores de fosfato solúvel em H2SO4 0,05 N e de matéria orgânica do solo sobre a capacidade de fixação de Zn do mesmo. Na execução do ensaio utilizaram uma técnica traçadora sendo o 65Zn o elemento traçador. Foi concluído que as quantidades de Zn fixadas estão direta e positivamente correlacionadas com o pH, com o teor de fosfato solúvel e de matéria orgânica dos solos
