Abstract

Aiming to develop technologies of agricultural cultivation adapted to the semiarid área, capable to supply a productivity economically viable to levei of small and médium producer and to favor an improvement in the sold product quality, being reverted in capital, this research had the purpose to obtain knowledge on the effects of the castor oil plant pie as organic matter supplier of different leveis of nitrogen and of different irrigation leveis in the culture of the precocious castor oil plant, cultivar BRS Energy, in the conditions of the Brazilian semiarid. The experiment followed a randomized blocks design distributed in split plots, being the factors: 4 leveis of nitrogen through castor oil plant pie (TM) (TM1 = 0, TM 2 = 90, TM 3 = 180 and TM 4 = 270 kg N ha"1) and 4 irrigation leveis based on the concept of available water in the soil monitored twice a day with the use of TDR (available water - AW) (AW1 = 20%, AW2 = 40%, AW3 = 60% and AW4 = 80%), with 4 repetitions, totaling 64 plots. The planting spacing was in the configuration of 1.4 x 0.4 x 0.36 m, in continuous double row to obtain a better use of the area in function of the drip irrigation system. The manuring with P and K followed the recommendation for the State of Ceara. The growth and production components of the castor oil plant, cultivar BRS energy, increased with the increment of the leveis of available water in the soil and of manuring organic via castor oil plant pie; however, the positive effect of the organic manuring only happened until the levei of manuring of 180 kg N ha"1 , inclusive when associate with the levei of available water in the soil of 80%. The levei of organic manuring of 180 kg ha"1 , associate to 80% of available water in the soil promoted an increment of 58,84% in the productivity of the castor oil plant, in relation to the treatment with this same levei of available water in the soil, but without organic manuring. The levei of available water in 80% associate to an organic manuring of 180 kg ha"1 promoted an increment of 22,11% in the productivity of the castor oil plant, in relation to the treatment with this same levei of organic manuring and with the levei of available water in the soil of 20%.
