ABSTRACT Macrophomina (Botryosphaeriaceae) is one of the main genera of soilborne phytopathogenic fungi, which causes root and seed rot in more than 800 host plants worldwide. Recent phylogenetic studies identified the species M. phaseolina and M. pseudophaseolina in Trianthema portulacastrum and Boerhavia diffusa in melon and watermelon production areas in northeastern Brazil. Therefore, the objective of this study was: i) to verify the effect of temperature and salinity on the mycelial growth of M. phaseolina, M. pseudophaseolina and M. euphorbiicola, ii) to assess their pathogenicity on melon and watermelon seedlings, and iii) to determine their sensitivity to the fungicide carbendazim. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth rate (MGR) for Macrophomina spp. ranged from 27.18 ºC (CMM4771 – M. pseudophaseolina) to 31.80 ºC (CMM4763 – M. phaseolina). For the effect of salinity on mycelial growth of Macrophomina isolates, the EC50 ranged from 103.76 (CMM4868 – M. euphorbiicola) to 315.25 mM (CMM4801 – M. pseudophaseolina). The pathogenicity test demonstrated that M. phaseolina, M. pseudophaseolina and M. euphorbiicola are pathogenic on melon with M. phaseolina exhibiting a higher level of virulence. Macrophomina euphorbiicola isolates did not cause disease in watermelon. The most sensitive isolates to the fungicide carbendazim were CMM4868, CMM4867 (M. euphorbiicola) and CMM1531 (M. phaseolina) with EC50 of 0.003, 0.012 and 0.012 mg.L-1 a.i., respectively. All Macrophomina spp. used in these experiments were pathogenic to the tested melon and watermelon cultivars with the exception of the M. euphorbiicola isolate that did not cause damage to watermelon.

ABSTRACT Triploid watermelon is highly appreciated by the most demanding markets, and due to its small size, it is ideal for consumption by small families. With the growth in areas cultivated with seedless watermelon worldwide, there is a demand for the development of tetraploid germplasm to obtain triploid hybrids with better agronomic performance. This study performed two tests to induce polyploidy in the powdery mildew–resistant line developed by Embrapa Semi-Arid, LDRO, under different colchicine concentrations and application methods. In Experiment 1, the seeds were treated with colchicine (0.0%, 0.1%, and 0.2%) for 24 h and 48 h. In Experiment 2, 0.2% colchicine was applied by different methods: (a) directly on the seed (MDS) with and without scarification, (b) on seeds with radicle emission (MER), (c) at the insertion point between the hypocotyl and the root (MIHR), (d) at the seedling apex (MAP), and (e) in the inverted hypocotyl (MHI). Chromosome count (cytogenetic analysis), number of chloroplasts per pair of guard cells, number of stomata, seedling height, and hypocotyl diameter were measured. In the LDRO line, chromosomal duplication occurred in some plant cells, but it was not possible to obtain 100% tetraploid plants. Colchicine (0.2%) for 48 h without mechanical scarification induced chromosomal duplication in watermelon. The analysis of the number of chloroplasts identified the level of ploidy early, reducing the number of plants needed to be evaluated by cytogenetics, which allowed us to more accurately identify the different levels of ploidy of the plant.

ABSTRACT This study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the quantum yield, photosynthetic pigments and biomass accumulation of mini watermelon cv. Sugar Baby, under strategies of irrigation with saline water and potassium fertilization. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, in a 8 × 3 factorial scheme, with three replicates, corresponding to eight strategies of irrigation with saline water applied at different phenological stages of the crop (control - irrigation with low-salinity water throughout the crop cycle, and salt stress in the vegetative, vegetative/flowering, flowering, flowering/fruiting, fruiting, fruiting/ fruit maturation and fruit maturation stage) and three potassium doses (50, 100 and 150% of the recommendation). The dose of 100% corresponded to 150 mg of K2O kg-1 of soil. Two levels of electrical conductivity of water were used: 0.8 and 4.0 dS m-1. Irrigation with water of 4.0 dS m-1 continuously in the vegetative and flowering stages increased the initial fluorescence and decreased the quantum efficiency of photosystem II of mini watermelon fertilized with 100 and 150% of K recommendation. Fertilization with 50% recommendation did not interfere in the fluorescence parameters of the mini watermelon, regardless of the irrigation management strategy. Chlorophyll a synthesis is inhibited by salt stress in the vegetative/flowering, flowering, flowering/fruiting, fruiting/maturation stages, as well as for total chlorophyll, except for the flowering stage. Application of 4.0 dS m-1 water in the flowering, fruiting/maturation and maturation stages promoted greater biomass accumulation in mini watermelon.

ABSTRACT Watermelon plays an important role in Brazilian agribusiness. The objective of present study was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation managements and water salinity levels, on the main productive and postharvest characteristics of mini-watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) cv. ‘Sugar Baby’. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse in a completely randomized design, arranged in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of two types of irrigation management (conventional and pulse) and four saline levels of nutrient solution of fertigation (2.5; 4.5; 5.5; 6.5 dS m-1). The control treatment corresponded to the electrical conductivity of the nutrient solution prepared with local supply water. The irrigation depth was calculated by the product of reference evapotranspiration and crop coefficient. The number of pulses were defined and fractionated according to the atmospheric demand. The salinity of the fertigation solution affects some variables of the production, but does not reduce the quality of the mini-fruit cv. ‘Sugar Baby’. The management of pulse irrigation shows better results in low salinity, while conventional drip management is more suitable for high salinity (6.5 dS m-1). | RESUMO A melancia tem um papel importante no agronegócio brasileiro. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes manejos de irrigação e níveis de salinidade da água de irrigação, nas principais características produtivas e de pós-colheita de minimelancia (Citrullus lanatus) cv. ‘Sugar Baby’. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, arranjado em esquema fatorial 2 x 4, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de dois tipos de manejo de irrigação (gotejamento convencional e por pulsos) e quatro níveis salinos da solução nutritiva de fertigação (2,5; 4,5; 5,5; 6,5 dS m-1). O tratamento controle correspondeu à condutividade elétrica da solução nutritiva preparada com água de abastecimento local. A lâmina de irrigação foi calculada a partir do produto da evapotranspiração de referência e o coeficiente de cultivo. Os números de pulsos foram definidos e fracionados em função da demanda atmosférica. A salinidade da solução de fertigação afeta algumas variáveis de produção, mas não reduz a qualidade dos frutos de minimelancia cv. ‘Sugar Baby’. O manejo de irrigação por pulsos mostra melhores resultados em baixa salinidade, enquanto o manejo por gotejamento convencional é mais adequado para alta salinidade (6,5 dS m-1).

RESUMO Objetivou-se avaliar a resistência de polpa e os sólidos solúveis dos frutos, e a produtividade da melancieira, sob diferentes proposições de irrigação (geradas pelo ISAREG) e condições de cobertura do solo; e seus efeitos de interação. Após pesquisa de campo junto aos irrigantes foram realizados dois experimentos na UEPE (Unidade de Ensino, Pesquisa e Extensão) do IFCE, no Distrito de irrigação Jaguaribe -Apodi, DIJA, sob delineamento em blocos completos ao acaso, com parcelas subdivididas e quatro repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram da combinação de quatro proposições de irrigação (M1 - manutenção de 100% da capacidade de água disponível no solo (CAD); M2 - 80 %; M3 - 60%; e M4 - lâmina modal dos irrigantes) nas parcelas, e quatro sub-parcelas, compostas por três condições de cobertura no solo (coberturas com casca de arroz, com “mulching” branco e com “mulching” preto, denominadas C1, C2 e C3), e uma sem cobertura, denominada C0. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de variância e quando significativos, à regressão (lâminas), a teste de médias (coberturas) e a gráficos de tendência (interação entre os fatores). Concluiu-se que os irrigantes não praticam o manejo correto da irrigação, pois aplicam, durante todo o ciclo da melancia, mais água do que a indicação de maior lâmina do ISAREG (100% da CAD). As plantas irrigadas pela lâmina M1 em solo coberto por casca de arroz e “mulching” branco demonstraram melhores características produtivas e de pós-colheita. | ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to assess the pulp resistance, soluble solids and yield of watermelon fruits grown under different irrigation managements (determined by the ISAREG model) and mulches, and their interactions. After a survey carried out on local producers, two experiments were conducted, using a completely randomized block design in split-plot arrangement with four replications, in the Teaching, Research and Extension Unit (UEPE) of the Federal Institute of Ceara (IFCE), Jaguaribe-Apodi Irrigation District (DIJA), State of Ceara, Brazil. The treatments consisted of four irrigation managements in the plots, M1 (100% of the available-water capacity (AWC) of the soil), M2 (80%), M3 (60%) and M4 (average water depth used by local producers) and four mulch types in the sub-plots, without mulching (C0) with rice husk (C1), white plastic (C2) and black plastic (C3) as mulches. The results were subjected to analysis of variance, and significant results were subjected to regression (irrigation managements), average test (mulches) and trend graphs (interaction between the factors). The irrigation management practiced during the watermelon crop cycle by the local producers of the Irrigation District of Jaguaribe-Apodi (DIJA) in the State of Ceara, Brazil, is not appropriated, since they usually apply more water than the highest water depth determined by the ISAREG model (100% of the AWC). The plants grown under irrigation water depth of 365.20 mm (M1) and soils with mulches of rice husk or white plastic had the highest yields and fruits with better quality of soluble solids and pulp resistance.

ABSTRACT: Aiming to study the genetic control of Papaya ringspot virus, type watermelon (PRSV-W) in watermelon, the cultivar Crimson Sweet (P1 - susceptible) and L26 derived from PI 244019 (P2 - resistant), as well as the resulting populations F1, F2, RC11 and RC21 of the cross of both lines were evaluated. The trials were carried out in a greenhouse, and the evaluations were done using artificial inoculations with PRSV-W isolates. The seedling symptoms were recorded using a graded scale, and the serological evaluation was done with specific antiserum using indirect ELISA. The estimated variances of the populations were used to obtain the genetic (σ2G)the environmental (σ2E), phenotypic (σ2F2), additive (σ2A) and dominance (σ2D) variances as well as the broad (h2a) and narrow sense (h2r) heritabilities. The hypothesis of monogenic inheritance was tested under different presumed average degrees of dominance as well as using the maximum likelihood. The distribution of resistant plants in the segregating populations was different from a distribution based on monogenic inheritance for all presumed average degrees of dominance, therefore, the hypothesis of monogenic inheritance was rejected indicating that this character in the line L26 is controlled by more than one major gene with the presence of modifiers. The additive-dominant model was adequate to explain the type of gene action involved, and the epistatic effects were not important in the expression of the resistance. The estimated average degree of dominance indicated complete dominance. The broad sense heritabilities for the two variables analyzed were intermediate. | RESUMO: Com o objetivo de estudar o controle genético da resistência a Papaya ringspot virus, type watermelon (PRSV-W) em melancia foram avaliadas a cultivar Crimson Sweet (CS) (P1 - suscetível) e L26 proveniente de PI 244019 (P2 - resistente), bem como as populações F1, F2, RC11 e RC21, provenientes do cruzamento das duas linhas. As avaliações foram realizadas em casa de vegetação mediante inoculações artificiais com PRSV-W. Foi realizada avaliação sintomatológica através de escala de notas, bem como avaliação sorológica contra antissoro específico para PRSV-W através do teste ELISA indireto. As estimativas das variâncias das populações P1, P2, F1, F2, RC11 e RC21 foram utilizadas para obtenção das variâncias genética (σ2G), ambiental (σ2E), fenotípica (σ2F2), aditiva (σ2A) e de dominância (σ2D) das herdabilidades no sentido amplo (h2a) e restrito (h2r). A hipótese de herança monogênica foi testada sob diferentes graus médios de dominância presumido, bem como pelo método da máxima verossimilhança. A distribuição de frequência de plantas resistentes nas populações segregantes diferiu de uma distribuição baseada em herança monogênica para todos os graus médios de dominância presumidos, de modo que a hipótese de herança monogênica foi rejeitada mostrando que essa característica em L26 é controlada por mais de um gene maior com a presença de modificadores. O modelo aditivo-dominante foi adequado para explicar o tipo de ação gênica envolvida e os efeitos epistáticos não foram importantes na expressão da resistência. A estimativa do grau médio de dominância indicou efeito de dominância completa. E as herdabilidades, no sentido amplo, das duas variáveis analisadas foram intermediárias.

RESUMO Considerável número de doenças que acometem a melancia (Citrullus lanatus) são causadas por patógenos habitantes do solo no Brasil e no mundo. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi identificar e quantificar a frequência de fungos fitopatógenos associados a "podridão de raízes e declínio de ramas" em melancia, presentes nas raízes de plantas daninhas nas principais áreas produtoras no estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Foram coletadas 10 amostras de raízes de espécies de plantas daninhas de maior prevalência em 16 áreas produtoras de melancia. As plantas foram identificadas e, calculada a respectiva frequência em campo. Foi realizado o isolamento fúngico das raízes, sendo posteriormente identificados os principais fungos associados ao declínio de ramas. Foram identificadas 13 espécies de plantas daninhas, pertencentes a nove famílias botânicas. As espécies de plantas daninhas que apresentaram as maiores frequências em campo foram Amaranthus spinosus (25,0%), Trianthema portulacastrum (18,8%), Commelina sp. (18,8%) e Boerhavia diffusa (12,5%). Das raízes das plantas daninhas que apresentaram maior frequência foram isolados os gêneros Macrophomina, Rhizoctonia e Monosporascus. O primeiro foi isolado de 12 espécies de plantas, o segundo de quatro espécies e o terceiro de duas espécies. | ABSTRACT Many watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) diseases are caused by soilborne pathogens in Brazil and worldwide. The goal of this study was to identify and quantify the frequency of phytopathogenic fungi associated with watermelon root rot and vine decline that were also present in the roots of weeds in the major watermelon production regions in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. We collected root samples from 10 of the most prevalent weed species in 16 watermelon producing areas. The plants were identified and their frequencies in the fields were calculated. The fungi found in the weed roots were isolated and the main genera associated with watermelon vine decline were identified. We identified 13 weed species belonging to nine botanical families. The weed species with the highest frequencies found in the field were Amaranthus spinosus (25.0%), Trianthema portulacastrum (18.8%), Commelina sp. (18.8%), and Boerhavia diffusa (12.5%). The fungi Macrophomina, Rhizoctonia, and Monosporascus were isolated from the roots of the weed plants. While Macrophomina was isolated from 12 different types of plants, Rhizoctonia and Monosporascus were isolated from four and two different plant species, respectively.

RESUMO O nitrogênio (N) é o segundo nutriente mais demandado pela melancia e o que mais limita o seu crescimento e afeta a qualidade quando em deficiência. Foi avaliada a concentração de N no solo (N-nitrato), o teor de N na planta e sólidos solúveis da melancia 'Top Gun’ no Brasil, com seis doses de N (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 e 250 kg ha-1). Os valores de N-nitrato e N foliar aumentaram linearmente com as doses de N. Número de frutos total e comercial, massa de frutos total e comercial e produtividade total e comercial apresentaram efeito quadrático. A maior produtividade total e comercial foram obtidas com 187 e 184 kg ha -1 de N, respectivamente. As doses de N não influenciaram no teor de sólidos solúveis. | ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) is the second most important nutrient required by watermelons that can limit their growth and affect fruit quality when deficient.

RESUMO A fenologia e a demanda hídrica das culturas podem ser alteradas pelas mudanças climáticas. Com isso, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar os impactos das mudanças climáticas (temperatura e umidade relativa do ar) sobre o desenvolvimento e a evapotranspiração (ETc) de cultivares de melancieira (Citrullus lanatus Schrad) em cultivo irrigado no semiárido brasileiro. Os experimentos foram conduzidos na Fazenda Experimental Rafael Fernandes, no município de Mossoró, RN, Brasil. O primeiro experimento foi realizado no período de fevereiro a abril de 2006, avaliando a cultivar “Mickylee”. No segundo experimento, realizado de setembro a novembro de 2009, utilizou-se a cultivar “Quetzali”. Foram avaliados dois cenários de mudanças climáticas baseados no relatório do Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC): um otimista denominado B2 e um pessimista denominado A2. Verificou-se que as mudanças climáticas poderão provocar redução no ciclo vegetativo da cultura de 14,1 e 26,9% para a cultivar “Mickylee” e de 7,9 e 11,1% para a cultivar “Quetzali”, isso para os cenários otimista e pessimista, respectivamente, em relação ao cenário climático atual. As mudanças climáticas futuras aumentarão o coeficiente de cultivo (Kc) da melancieira, nas condições em que o presente estudo foi realizado, incrementando a ETc diária, e aumento da ETc total, principalmente da cultivar “Mickylee”. As mudanças climáticas futuras na temperatura e umidade relativa do ar, atingirão limites acima dos tolerados pela cultura, fato que acarretará em mudanças nos tratos culturais e no manejo da irrigação. | ABSTRACT The phenology and water demand of crops can be altered by climate change. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impacts of climate change (temperature and relative humidity) on the development and evapotranspiration (ETc) of watermelon cultivare (Citrullus lanatus Schrad) in irrigated plantations in the Brazilian semiarid region. The experiments were conducted at the Rafael Fernandes Experimental Farm, in the municipality of Mossoró, RN, Brazil. The first experiment was carried out from February to April 2006, evaluating the cultivar Mickylee. In the second experiment, carried out from September to November 2009, the cultivar Quetzali was used. Two climate change scenarios were evaluated based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report: an optimistic one named B2 and a pessimistic one named A2. It was found that climate change may cause reductions in crop vegetative cycle of 14.1 and 26.9% for the cultivar Mickylee and 7.9 and 11.1% for the cultivar Quetzali, for the optimistic and pessimistic scenarios, respectively, compared to the current climate scenario. Future climate changes will increase the watermelon crop coefficient (Kc), for the conditions under which the present study was carried out, increasing the daily ETc the total ETc, mainly for the cultivar Mickylee. Future climate changes in air temperature and relative humidity will reach limits above those tolerated by the crop, which will lead to changes in the cultural practices and irrigation management.

ABSTRACT The evaluation of the yield of crops and their efficiency of use of water and nitrogen is essential to optimize the management of production factors. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of irrigation regimes and nitrogen doses in fertigation on fruit yield and efficiency of use of water and nitrogen by the Top Gun watermelon hybrid. The study was conducted in Bom Jesus, Piauí, Brazil, from August 4 to October 15, 2015. The study used a completed randomized block design with four repetitions, five irrigation depths (110.17, 156.86, 221.16, 268.87, and 317.09 mm), and five doses of nitrogen in fertigation (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 kg ha-1 applied as urea). Fruit yield and water use efficiency were not affected by nitrogen doses; however, there was a significant interaction of the factors for the efficiency of nitrogen use. The highest yield (39,549.45 kg ha-1) was obtained using 233.48 mm of water during the growth cycle. The water depth that promoted the maximum efficiency of water use was 110.42 mm, and nitrogen use was most efficient using 232.21 mm of water and 50 kg ha-1 of nitrogen. | RESUMO A avaliação da produtividade das culturas e suas eficiências de uso da água e de fertilizantes, constituem-se valiosas informações a serem consideradas, visando a otimização no manejo dos fatores de produção. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de lâminas de irrigação e doses de nitrogênio, em fertirrigação, sobre a produtividade e as eficiências de uso da água e nitrogênio pela melancieira, híbrido Top Gun. O experimento foi conduzido na cidade de Bom Jesus - PI, durante o período de 4 de agosto a 15 de outubro de 2015. O delineamento experimental adotado foi o de blocos ao acaso e em faixas, com quatro repetições, sendo os tratamentos constituídos por cinco lâminas de irrigação (110,17; 156,86; 221,16; 268,87 e 317,09 mm) e cinco doses de nitrogênio em fertirrigação (0, 50, 100, 150 e 200 kg ha-1 aplicados na forma de ureia). A produtividade e a eficiência de uso da água não foram influenciadas pelas doses de nitrogênio; no entanto, houve interação significativa dos fatores para a eficiência de uso do nitrogênio. A maior produtividade (39.549,45 kg ha-1) foi obtida com 233,48 mm de água no ciclo. A lâmina de irrigação que promoveu a máxima eficiência de uso da água foi de 110,42 mm e a melhor eficiência de uso do nitrogênio foi obtida com 232,21 mm de água e 50 kg ha-1 de nitrogênio.
