Nutrição mineral de hortaliças: XXXII. distúrbios nutricionais em jiló (Solanum jilo cultivar morro grande oblongo) cultivado em solução nutritiva

Portugués. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos: - Obter um quadro sintomatologico da carência de N, P, K, Ca, Mg e B; - Composição química das folhas novas, velhas e caule em função das carências nutricionais; Plantas de jiló (Solanum jilo) cultivar Morro Grande Oblongo) foram cultivadas em vasos contendo silica e irrigadas duas vezes ao dia com solução nutritiva completa e deficientes nos nutrientes. Surgidos os sintomas as plantas foram colhidas e analisadas para os elementos em questão. Os autores descrevem os sintomas e apresentam dados analíticos referentes a plantas sadias e desnutridas.

Inglés. The present work was carried out in order to study: 1. identification of deficiencies symptoms of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and B. 2. The effect of the deficiency of each macronutrient and boron on the chemical composition of the plants. Young Solanum jilo var. Morro Grande Oblongo plants were grown in pots containing pure quartz. Twice a day, the plants were irrigated by percolation with nutrient solutions. The treatments were: complete solution and deficient solutions, in which each of the macronutrients or boron was omited. When the malnutrition symptons appeared the plants were harvested and divided into: superior and inferior leaves and stalk. The dry matter was analysed chemically for N, P, K, Ca, Mg and B. CONCLUSIONS - Symptons of malnutrition were observed for N, P, K, Ca. Mg, B. - High rate of multiplicaiton of Tetranychus urticae was observed on plants deficient in potassium. - Nutrient content expressed in porcentages and in ppm for boron in the ripened leaves of plants cultivated under normal conditions and under deficient conditions were.
