    El objetivo fue evaluar la producci贸n y la calidad de biomasa de Amaranthus mantegazzianus Pass. cv. Don Juan, en condiciones de secano, con fertilizaci贸n de NPK y agregado de urea al momento de los cortes para obtenci贸n de materia verde y posterior producci贸n de grano. Se sembr贸 en el Campo Experimental de la Facultad de Agronom铆a de la Universidad Nacional de La Pampa, Argentina, el 18/11/ 2004 en parcelas con cinco surcos distanciados 0.35 m. Se establecieron dos tratamientos: un testigo sin fertilizar y otro fertilizado con NPK (19-19-19) 50 kg ha-1 como fertilizante base y urea (100 kg ha-1) al momento del corte, en un dise帽o en bloques al azar con cuatro repeticiones. Las condiciones ambientales adversas solamente permitieron la realizaci贸n de un corte e imposibilitaron la obtenci贸n de grano. Se midi贸: producci贸n de biomasa, porcentaje de materia seca, tama帽o promedio de hojas (largo x ancho), ancho promedio del tallo, largo promedio del pec铆olo, n煤mero de hojas por planta cortada. Se calcul贸 la relaci贸n l谩mina de la hoja/largo de pec铆olo. Se determin贸 el contenido de prote铆na cruda y minerales. La fertilizaci贸n realizada aumenta la relaci贸n l谩mina de la hoja/pec铆olo. Las variables medidas y el contenido de nutrientes no presentaron diferencias significativas entre las plantas fertilizadas y sin fertilizar.The objective of this study was to evaluate biomass production and quality of Amaranthus mantegazzianus Pass. cv. Don Juan with NKP and urea fertilization applied at biomass harvest cuttings and subsequent grain yield. The crop was seeded November 18th 2004 at the experimental fields of the University of La Pampa in plots with 5 rows at a distance of 0.35 m. Two treatments: one without fertilization and the other with application of NKP (19-19-19) at the rate of 50 kg ha-1 was used and urea (46-0-0) was applied at a rate of 100 kg ha-1 at biomass harvest. A completely randomized block design with four replicates was used. Severe drought during the experiment caused that only one biomass harvest was feasible and grain production failed. Biomass production, dry matter, average leaf size (height by width), stem width, petiole length, and number of leaves per cut plant were measure. Leaf/ petiole ratio was calculated and crude protein and mineral content of dry matter was determined. Results indicated that fertilization increased leaf/petiole ratio. Other variables related to plant structure did not show significant differences between fertilized and control treatments, and no effect on protein and mineral contents could be found.Fil: Mart铆n de Troiani, Rosa.Fil: S谩nchez, Teresa.Fil: Ant贸n de Ferramola, Laura

    Se evalu贸 la incidencia del agregado de cloruros (Cl-) adicionado como NaCl, y de nitr贸geno (N) como KNO3, sobre la producci贸n de materia verde (MV), materia seca (MS) y contenido de nitratos (NO3 -) y Cl- en la parte a茅rea cosechada de Amaranthus tricolor L. El ensayo se realiz贸 en el invern谩culo de la Facultad de Agronom铆a, UNLPam., Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina, en macetas que conten铆an 5 kg de suelo. Las dosis de fertilizante agregado en kg ha-1 fueron: 50 y 100 de N y 100, 200 y 300 de Cl-. Se realizaron todas las combinaciones posibles originando 12 tratamientos, incluido el testigo. Para el an谩lisis estad铆stico se emple贸 ANOVA doble y los tests de Tukey y Tukey-Kramer. No se encontraron diferencias significativas para MS para ning煤n agregado. Tampoco se encontraron diferencias significativas en la producci贸n de MV entre las dosis de N (N50 y N100) pero s铆 entre 茅stas y el testigo. No hubo diferencias entre las dosis de Cl- aplicadas para esta variable. Los NO3 - mostraron diferencias significativas frente a las distintas dosis de N, como as铆 tambi茅n entre las medias de los tratamientos con el agregado de Cl- y la no incorporaci贸n de 茅stos. Los valores promedio de NO3 - variaron entre 0,51 y 3,56% base seca (bs) y 445,4 y 2916,1 mg kg-1 fresco. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en el % Cl- (bs) frente a las diferentes dosis de NaCl adicionado. Bajo las condiciones del ensayo, los valores promedio de NO3 - se encuentran dentro de los l铆mites establecidos por la Comunidad Econ贸mica Europea.The incidence of the addition of chlorides (Cl-) added as NaCl, and nitrogen (N) as KNO3, on the production of green matter (GM), dry matter (DM) and nitrate (NO3 -) and Cl- contents, was evaluated in the harvested aerial parts of Amaranthus tricolor L. The assay was carried out in the green house of Facultad de Agronom铆a, UNLPam., Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina, in pots containing 5 kg of soil. The fertilizer rates in kg ha-1 were: 50 and 100 of N and 100, 200 and 300 of Cl-. All possible combinations were taken into account, resulting in 12 treatments including the control. Double ANOVA with Tukey and Tukey-Kramer tests were used. No significance for DM percentage was found for none of the treatments. No significance for production of GM between different rates of N (N50 and N100) was found, but significant differences between both rates of N and control were found. No significance between rates of Cl- was found. Nitrate contents showed significant differences between rates of N, and also between the averages of the treatments with the addition of Cl- and without addition of these. The average values of NO3 - varied between 0.51 and 3.56% dry basis (db) and ranged from 445.5 to 2916.1 mg kg-1 fresh weight. Significant differences in the % of Cl- (db) were found at different rates of added NaCl. Under the conditions of the assay, the average values of NO3 - found are within the limits established by the Economic European Community.Fil: S谩nchez, Teresa.Fil: Mart铆n de Troiani, Rosa.Fil: Ant贸n de Ferramola, Laura
