Cultivo do Tomateiro Cereja irrigado com águas salinizadas e adubação nitrogenada.

Abstract

The use of salty water in agriculture has been increased in the Northeast due to the low availability of good quality water for irrigated agriculture, together with the nitrogen fertilizer that has a key role to a better development of plant The objective of this work is to study and define the behavior of cherry tomato throughout their development, when subjected to different levels of nitrogen being irrigated with water of different salinity levels. This experiment was conducted during the months of August / 2013 and developed the janeiro/2014 Lysimeter drainage conditions in a greenhouse owned by the CCTA UFCG, Pombal, PB. The treatments consisted of combinations of two factors: salinity of irrigation water (EC w) in five levels (S1 - 0.3; S2 - 1.5, S3 - 2.5; S4 - S5 and 3.5 - 4.5 dS m-1) and four levels of nitrogen [(N1 - 60 N2 - 100, N3 and N4 -180% -140 indication of nitrogen (100 mg kg-1)]. experimental design was a split completely randomized, in a factorial arrangement with three 5 x 4 reps totaling 60 experimental units in single rows, spaced 0.9 m between rows and 0.30 between vessels within the row. irrigation waters were obtained from the dissolution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in water from the local supply system to achieve the desired CEA to each treatment, are packed in plastic vats 200 L capacity. growth of tomato plants was evaluated at 54, 95 and 125 by determining oF the number of leaves (NL), the plant height (PH), the stem diameter (DC) and leaf area (LA); fresh matter (MFC) and dried stem (MSC), fresh (MSF) and dried leaf (MSF) were determined at 90 and 125 DAS; however, the fresh (MFR) and dried root (MSR) were determined only at 125 DAS. The numbers of clusters (NCAC) were recorded at 54, 69, 84 and 104 DAS; photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were taken near the end of the crop cycle. Data were evaluated by analysis of variance by F test at 0.05 and 0.01 probability and in cases of significance analysis was performed linear and quadratic polynomial regression using the statistical software SISVAR-ESAL (LAVRAS , MG). The physiological parameters of growth and production (A) and gs cherry tomato decrease linearly from the salinity of irrigation water 0.3 dS m-1; the longer exposure of plants to salt stress led to higher reductions in growth variables, with the mass of roots, and the NCAC AF the most sensitive variables; Most AP at 125 DAS was obtained with N rate of 139%; Increasing levels of nitrogen reduced the effect of salinity on the growth of tomato at 125 DAS.
