Calagem e adubação do maracujazeiro-doce.

ABSTRACT: The sweet passion fruits is a native species of Brazil. It is very well adapted to tropical regions, and can be found growing in wild conditions or cultivated by small farmers in many regions. It is consumed mainly as a fresh fruit, splitting with a knife in two parts and using a spoon to collect the pulp with the seeds. The concentrated juice, easily extracted from the pulp, can be used to make juice, ice-cream and deserts. Many small farmers grow sweet passion fruit as an ornamental plant, particularly because of the beauty flowers and colored fruits. In additon it is considered as a medicinal species to treat stress, anxiety and sleeplessness. The ofter of fresh sweet passion fruit in most fruit and grocery stores is still very limited, and prices are very high. The main purpose of this paper is to collect the most important research results regarding practices used to correct the soil acidity and to supply nutrients to improve the production systems of sweet passion fruit.bitstream/CPAC-2009/27307/1/doc_140.pd

Irrigação do cafeeiro no cerrado: estratégia de manejo de água para uniformização de florada.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this research was to define irrigation scheduling for coffee trees in the brazilian Cerrado region to optimize yield and coffee grain quality. The experimental treatments were: a) irrigation all over the year (RH1), suplemental water application after blossoming induced by rain (RH4), stop water application, at the harvesting time from June 15 to end of August until leaf water potential measured at pre-dawn reached - 2.0 MPa (RH3) and - 3,4 MPa (RH4) and rainfed crop. The soil water content was monitored by using a profile probe of 1 m. Water was applied to fill the soil profile of 0.40m until field capacity (-0,0008 MPa) as soil water depletion reached 50% of available soil water. The results shows that stopping irrigation from June 15 to end of August, until leaf potential, measured at pre-drawn, reached value of - 2.0 MPa resulted in just on uniform blossoming period, more than 80% pf mature grain at harvesting time and yield of 4.200 kg.ha(-1) of peeled coffee grain in the last three comercial harvesting.bitstream/CPAC-2009/27309/1/comtec_122.pd
