Abstract:
The appropriate spacing in planting of major crops is a technology simple to apply
and that can result in a significant increase productivity. Was studied the behavior of
two genotypes of castor bean planting in different configuration. The experiment was
conducted in the irrigated área of São Gonçalo, in Sousa - PB. The genotypes were
BRS Gabriela variety and lineage CNPAM 2009-7 under irrigated condition. Two
experiments were established, one for each genotype, using a factorial design, for
BRS Gabriela was 2 row spacings (1 .0 and 1 .5 m) and three planting densities (0.50,
0.75 and 1 , 0 m) and CNPAM 2009-7 was 2 row spacings (0.50 and 0.75 m) and ave
plant densities (0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 m) respectively. There were
significant differences at 5% probability by F test for some of the characters analyzed
in both genotypes. In the BRS Gabriela row spacing affected the height of the stem
(ALTC), stem diameter (DIAC) and income (REND) (a : 5%), the ALTC and REND
were higher in the spacing of l m (45.91 cm and 2112.88 kg / ha) compared to the
spacing of 1.5 m (43.98 cm and 1442.48 kg / ha) respectively. The planting density
affect the variables height of the stem (ALTC) and number of racemes per plant
(NRAC), the stem height was higher density employed was 0.5 m between plants,
with the NRAC was higher density Im between plants. CNPAM 2009-7 to the
characteristics show differences in spacing and density were to stem diameter
(DIAC) and number of racemes per plant (NRAC). The spacing 0.75 of and densities
0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 m stem diameter provides greater and greater number of
racemes per plant. It can be concluded for BRS Gabriela that the best spacing in
these culture conditions is l m between rows and 0.5 m between plants. As for the
2009-7 CNPAM density and row spacing does not seem to affect most traits,
highlight was the average yield obtained by this genotype in this experiment (3097
kg/ ha).
