ABSTRACT The incorporation of organic matter has been used to manage of diseases caused by soilborne pathogen, but there is a gap in the use of coffee residues on disease supressiveness. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic matter sources against cassava root rot caused by F. solani CFF109. Fertilization with coffee residue (CR), cattle manure (CM), earthworm excrements (EE) and goat manure (GM) resulted in suppression of cassava root rot. The treatments of CR and CM presented higher reduction in the cassava disease severity. There were changes in the soil microbial community structure by organic matter incorporation, mainly in total fungi and Gram-negative bacteria populations. The total organic carbon and magnesium are negatively associated with disease severity. The microbial quotient, alkaline and acid phosphatase activities were positively and the biomarker a-15:0 was negatively associated with disease severity. This study indicated that agro-industrial residues can be recycled for providing organic matter and nutrients with effect for management of plant diseases by suppressing soilborne pathogens. This is the first evidence that the industrial residue of coffee can be use in the management of cassava root rot, caused by F. solani. | RESUMO A incorporação da matéria orgânica é usada no manejo de doenças causadas por patógenos habitantes do solo, mas existe uma lacuna no uso de resíduos de café na supressão de doenças. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito de fontes de matéria orgânica contra a podridão radicular da mandioca, causada por Fusarium solani CFF 109. A fertilização com resíduo de café (CR), esterco bovino (CM), húmus de minhoca (EE) e esterco caprino (GM) resultou na supressão da podridão radicular da mandioca. Os tratamentos CR e CM apresentaram alta redução na severidade da doença em mandioca. Houveram mudanças na estrutura da comunidade microbiana do solo pela incorporação de matéria orgânica, principalmente na população de fungos totais e bactérias Gram-negativa. O carbono orgânico total e magnésio são negativamente associados com a severidade da doença. O quociente microbiano, fosfatases alcalina e ácida foram positivamente e o biomarcador a-15:0 foi negativamente associado com a severidade da doença. Este estudo indica que resíduos agroindustriais podem ser reciclados para fornecer matéria orgânica e nutrientes com efeito para o manejo de doenças de plantas por suprimir patógenos habitantes do solo. Esta é a primeira evidência que o resíduo da indústria de café pode ser usado no manejo da podridão radicular da mandioca, causado por F. solani.

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes de sorgo sacarino cultivado em condição semiárida, procurando-se determinar a época de maturidade fisiológica das sementes em função da aplicação foliar com silicato de potássio. O experimento foi conduzido na Fazenda Experimental Vale do Curu, Pentecoste - CE no período de chuvas dos anos de 2014 e 2015. Utilizaram-se as variedades BRS 506 e BRS 511 sob adubação foliar com silicato de potássio nas doses 500; 1000 e 1500 mL.ha -1, além das parcelas controle (sem aplicação) e com colheita realizada em quatro épocas (30, 37, 44 e 51 dias após a plena floração (DAF)). Foram avaliados as porcentagens e velocidade de germinação, o teste de envelhecimento acelerado e o crescimento de plântulas. As sementes obtiveram germinação acima de 90% a partir dos 37 dias DAF, atingindo alto vigor de plântulas aos 51 dias APF. A adubação foliar com silicato de potássio nas condições aplicadas promoveu acréscimo na qualidade fisiológica das sementes. As cultivares BRS 506 e BRS 511 apresentam o máximo de qualidade fisiológica entre 49 e 53 dias DAF. | ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate physiological quality in seeds of sweet sorghum grown under semi-arid conditions, and to determine the age of physiological maturity of the seeds as a function of the foliar application of potassium silicate. The experiment was carried out at the Curu Valley Experimental Farm, in Pentecoste in the state of Ceará, during the rainy seasons of 2014 and 2015. The BRS 506 and BRS 511 varieties were used, under foliar fertilisation with potassium silicate at doses of 500, 1000 and 1500 mL.ha -1, in addition to the control lots (with no application); harvesting was at four periods, 30, 37, 44 and 51 days after full bloom (DAB). The percentage and speed of germination were evaluated, together with the accelerated ageing test and seedling growth. The seeds presented greater than 90% germination from 37 DAB, reaching high seedling vigour at 51 DAB. Foliar fertilisation with potassium silicate under the conditions of the experiment resulted in an increase in the physiological quality of the seeds. The BRS 506 and BRS 511 cultivars displayed the highest physiological quality between 49 and 53 DAF.

ABSTRACT This work evaluated the effect of soil water availability on growth and productivity variables of cowpea in northeastern Pará, Brazil. The experiment was carried out in a field of 2,100 m2 at the experimental site of the Federal Rural University of Amazon, during the driest season of the years 2011, 2012 and 2013, in a completely randomised design with two treatments (irrigated and non-irrigated), both with 12 replications in the reproductive phase (2012 and 2013). Growth and productivity data were submitted to analysis of variance with two variation factors (water regime and experimental year) at 5% probability. Student's t -test at 5% probability was used in the means of the stomatal conductance data, since this was monitored only in 2012. Final biomass production presented a reduction of 54.3% in 2012 and 26.4% in 2013 as a result of water deficit (DEF) of 76 and 26 mm, respectively. Mean stomatal conductance was reduced by 73% in the grain-filling stage as a result of the lower water availability during this period. Average cowpea productivity under water deficit reached 1,257 kg ha-1 in 2012 and 1,396 kg ha-1 in 2013. The reduction in water supply over the reproductive period significantly decreased production by 72 and 41% (F test, p < 0.05) in 2012 and 2013, respectively. An accumulated water deficit during the reproductive phase caused a maximum LAI reduction of 47% in 2012 (DEF of 76 mm) and of 13% in 2013 (DEF of 26 mm). | RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da disponibilidade de água no crescimento e produtividade do feijão-caupi cultivado no Nordeste do estado do Pará, Brasil. O experimento foi realizado em uma área de 2.100 m2 na Fazenda Escola da Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia, durante o período menos chuvoso de 2011, 2012 e 2013, em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com dois tratamentos (irrigado e não irrigado), com 12 repetições na fase reprodutiva (2012 e 2013). Dados de crescimento e de produtividade foram submetidos a análise de variância com dois fatores de variação (regime hídrico e ano experimental) a 5% de probabilidade. Utilizou-se o teste t de Student a 5% de probabilidade nas médias de condutância estomática por ser monitorada apenas em 2012. A produção final de biomassa apresentou redução de 54,3% em 2012 e de 26,4% em 2013 devido a ocorrência de uma deficiência hídrica (DEF) de 76 e de 26 mm, respectivamente. A condutância estomática média foi reduzida em 73% na fase de enchimento de grãos devido a menor disponibilidade de água nesta fase. A produtividade média do caupi sob baixa deficiência hídrica atingiu 1.257 kg ha-1 em 2012 e 1.396 kg ha-1 e 2013. A redução da água diminuiu em 72% e 41% o rendimento do caupi (teste F, p < 0,05) em 2012 e 2013, respectivamente. A deficiência hídrica acumulada na fase reprodutiva causou redução de 47% no máximo IAF em 2012 (DEF de 76 mm) e de 13% em 2013 (DEF de 26 mm).

ABSTRACT The N:K ratio influences the balance between vegetative and reproductive stages, because potassium plays important roles in the processes that regulate plant growth when the nitrogen availability is high. However, there is a lack of information on the N:K ratio suitable for cucumber cultivation in an NFT-hydroponic system. The objective of this study is to evaluate the different N:K ratios in fruiting nutrient solutions for cucumber production in a hydroponic system. Treatments consisted of two cucumber hybrids (Natsuno Kagayaki and Runner) and four nutrition solutions with different N:K ratios (w/w) (1:0.5, 1:1.0, 1:2.0, and 1:3.0) in the reproductive phase arranged as split plots in a randomized block design with four replications. On the 33rd day after sowing (DAS), the SPAD index on the fourth expanded leaf from the plant apex, number of broaches, and harvests were evaluated. The aerial parts of the plants were collected on the 54th DAS for evaluation of fresh mass, dry mass, and number of leaves per plant. The results showed that the highest concentration of K in the fruiting nutrient solution does not alter the length of the fruits but increases their diameter yield. The N:K ratios in the 1:2.0 and 1:3.0 (w/w) nutrient solutions provided greater yields in both evaluated hybrids. The hybrid Natsuno Kagayaki, however, showed the highest productivity, and it is recommended for hydroponic cultivation. | RESUMO A relação N:K influencia o equilíbrio entre as fases vegetativa e reprodutiva, pois o potássio atua em processos que ajudam a regular o crescimento das plantas, quando a disponibilidade de nitrogênio é elevada. No entanto, há carência de informações sobre relações N:K adequadas para o cultivo do pepino em sistema hidropônico-NFT. Objetivou-se com esse trabalho avaliar diferentes relações N:K da solução nutritiva de frutificação para produção de pepino em sistema hidropônico. Os tratamentos foram dois híbridos de pepino (Natsuno Kagayaki e Runner) e quatro soluções nutritivas com diferentes relações N:K (p/p) (1:0,5; 1:1,0; 1:2,0 e 1:3,0) na fase de reprodutiva, arranjados como parcelas subdivididas, no delineamento em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições. Aos 33 dias após a semeadura (DAS) avaliou-se o índice SPAD, na quarta folha expandida, a partir do ápice da planta, o número de brotações e teve inicio as colheitas. Coletou-se a parte aérea das plantas para avaliação de massa fresca, massa seca e número de folhas por planta aos 54 DAS. Os resultados demonstraram que a maior concentração de K na solução nutritiva de frutificação não altera o comprimento dos frutos, mas aumenta o diâmetro e a produtividade. As relações de N:K na solução nutritiva de 1:2,0 e 1:3,0 (p/p) proporcionaram maiores produtividades para os híbridos estudados. Entretanto, o híbrido Natsuno Kagayaki apresentou maior produtividade, sendo o mais recomendado para o cultivo hidropônico.

RESUMO O presente trabalho teve como objetivos avaliar o efeito da adubação com esterco bovino em atributos de fertilidade de solos com diferentes teores de argila e, verificar a influência da adubação com esterco bovino na produção de alface americana, e da rúcula e almeirão, cultivados de forma sucessiva a alface. O experimento foi realizado em vasos, em delineamento em blocos ao acaso, com os tratamentos arranjados em esquema fatorial 3x6 com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos por três solos com diferentes teores de argila (166; 362; 565 g kg-1) e seis doses de esterco bovino (0; 10; 20; 40; 80 e 160 t ha-1). Porções de cada solo receberam esterco bovino e calcário, foram transferidas para vasos, umedecidas e incubadas por 30 dias. A seguir, efetuou-se adubação mineral de plantio e cada vaso recebeu uma muda de alface. Após a colheita da alface, para avaliar o efeito residual da adubação orgânica foram realizados dois cultivos sucessivos, um de rúcula e outro de almeirão. A aplicação de até 160 t ha-1 de esterco bovino diminui a acidez e, aumenta os teores de nutrientes, particularmente P, K e Zn em solos com teores de argila de 165 a 565 g kg-1. A adubação com esterco bovino em doses de até 160 t ha-1 aumenta a condutividade elétrica dos solos, e esse acréscimo não prejudica o crescimento e a produção de hortaliças folhosas. A adubação com esterco bovino aumenta a produção de alface, como também a de rúcula e almeirão, cultivados de forma sucessiva. | ABSTRACT The effect of organic fertilization with cattle manure on fertility properties of soils with different clay contents was evaluated; as well as the influence of cattle manure fertilization on the production of lettuce, and on subsequent arugula and common chicory grown in these soils. The experiment with pot plants was arranged in randomized blocks and analyzed in a 3x6 factorial design with four replications. The treatments consisted of three soil types with different clay contents (166; 362; 565 g kg-1) and six cattle manure rates (0; 10; 20; 40; 80, and 160 t ha-1). Batches of each soil were manured, limed, filled in pots, moistened, and incubated for 30 days. Then, mineral base fertilization was applied and one lettuce seedling per each pot was grown. After lettuce harvest, the residual effect of organic fertilization was assessed in two subsequent crops, first arugula and then common chicory. The application of up to 160 t ha-1 cattle manure reduces soil acidity and increases nutrient contents, particularly of P, K and Zn, in soils with 165 to 565 g kg-1 clay content. Fertilization with cattle manure at rates of up to 160 t ha-1 increases electrical conductivity of soils, without affecting growth and yield of the leafy vegetables. Cattle manuring increases the yield of lettuce, as well as of arugula and common chicory grown afterwards.

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficiência agroeconômica do consórcio de cenoura com caupi-hortaliça sob diferentes arranjos espaciais e densidades populacionais nas condições semiáridas do Nordeste brasileiro. O estudo foi realizado na Fazenda Experimental “Rafael Fernandes” da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA) no período de julho 2013 a fevereiro de 2014. O delineamento experimental adotado foi de blocos completos casualizados com quatro repetições, com os tratamentos arranjados em um esquema fatorial 3 x 4, sendo o primeiro fator constituído pelos arranjos espaciais (2:2; 3:3 e 4:4) e o segundo fator pelas densidades populacionais do caupi-hortaliça (100%, 80%, 60% e 40% da população recomendada no cultivo solteiro - PRCS). Todos os tratamentos foram fertilizados com flor-de-seda (Calotropis procera (Ait.) R.Br.), que é uma espécie espontânea do bioma Caatinga. Os índices de eficiência agronômica dos sistemas consorciados avaliados foram: índice de uso eficiente da terra, índice de eficiência produtiva e escore da variável canônica. Foram também avaliados os seguintes indicadores econômicos: renda bruta, renda líquida, taxa de retorno e índice de lucratividade. A eficiência agroeconômica do sistema consorciado de cenoura com caupi-hortaliça foi influenciada pelos arranjos espaciais, com o arranjo 2:2 sobressaindo-se dos demais. A maior eficiência agroeconômica do consórcio de cenoura com caupi-vegetal foi obtida na densidade populacional de 100% da PRCS quando o valor do índice de eficiência produtiva foi de 0,75. | ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the agro-economic efficiency of the intercropping of carrot with cowpea-vegetable under different spatial arrangements and population densities in the semi-arid conditions of the Brazilian Northeast.

The experimental design was of randomized complete blocks with four replications and treatments arranged in a 3 × 4 factorial scheme, where the first factor consisted of spatial arrangements (2:2; 3:3 and 4:4) and the second factor by population densities of cowpea-vegetables (100, 80, 60 and 40% of the recommended population in sole crop [RPSC]). All treatments were fertilized with roostertree (Calotropis procera [Ait.] R.Br.), which is a spontaneous species of the Caatinga biome. The indices of agronomic efficiency of the intercropping systems assessed were: land equivalent ratio, productive efficiency index and score of the canonical variable. The following economic indicators were also evaluated: gross income, net income, rate of return and profit margin. The agro-economic efficiency of the intercropping system of carrot with cowpea- vegetable was influenced by the spatial arrangements, with the 2:2 arrangements standing out from the others. The greatest agro-economic efficiency of the intercropping of carrot with cowpea-vegetable was obtained in the population density of 100% of the RPSC when the value of the productive efficiency index was 0.75.

ABSTRACT Uncontrolled weed growth interferes with the growth eggplants and crop yields. To control weeds, the main weed species must be identified in crop growing areas and during weed control periods, as weed species might vary in relation to management practices. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the main weed species and determine the periods of weed interference in the eggplant cultivar Nápoli when grown under certain cultural practices, including plant staking and sprout thinning. The experiment was carried out in 2014 using a randomized complete block design, with 3 replications. The treatments consisted of 11 periods of (1) increasing weed control and (2) increasing coexistence of eggplant with weeds from the first day of transplanting (0-14, 0-28, 0-42, 0-56, 0-70, 0-84, 0-98, 0-112, 0-126, 0-140, and up do day 154). Eggplant staking and sprout thinning were performed 42 days after transplanting (DAT). Weed identification and crop yield assessments were performed to determine the Period Before Interference (PBI), Total Period of Interference Prevention (TPIP), and the Critical Period of Interference Prevention (CPIP). The major weeds found in the eggplant cultivar Nápoli were Eleusine indica, Portulaca oleracea, and Cyperus rotundus. Coexistence between the weed community and the eggplant throughout the entire crop production cycle reduced eggplant fruit yield by 78%. The PBI was 29 DAT and the TPIP was 48 DAT, resulting in 19 days of CPIP. | RESUMO As plantas daninhas, quando manejadas incorretamente, podem interferir no desenvolvimento e produtividade da berinjela. Para o controle destas plantas é fundamental identificar as principais espécies infestantes do local de cultivo e os períodos de controle, que podem variar de acordo com as práticas de manejo adotadas. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as principais plantas daninhas e determinar os períodos de interferência na cultura da berinjela cultiva ‘Nápoli’ sob manejo de tutoramento e desbrota. O experimento foi realizado no ano de 2014 no delineamento de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de 11 períodos crescentes de controle e convivência com as plantas daninhas a partir do transplante: (0-14, 0-28, 0-42, 0-56, 0-70, 0-84, 0-98, 0-112, 0-126, 0-140 e 0-154 dias). As práticas de tutoramento e desbrota ocorreram aos 42 dias após o transplante (DAT). Realizou-se a identificação das plantas daninhas e avaliação da produtividade da cultura para determinação do período anterior à interferência (PAI), do período total de interferência (PTPI) e do período crítico de prevenção a interferência (PCPI). As principais plantas daninhas encontradas na cultura da berinjela ‘Nápoli’ foram Eleusine indica, Portulaca oleracea e Cyperus rotundus. O convívio entre comunidade infestante e cultura durante todo o ciclo da berinjela reduziu a produtividade de frutos em 78%. O PAI foi de 29 DAT e o PTPI de 48 DAT, resultando em 19 dias de PCPI.

RESUMO O presente estudo foi conduzido com o objetivo de analisar estrutura de covariância e estimativas de repetibilidade das variáveis relacionadas à produtividade da goiabeira como massa dos frutos (MF), número de frutos (NF) e produção de frutos (PROD) de três safras, em 95 genótipos de uma população segregante. E por meio dos critérios de AIC (Akaike’s Information Criterion) e SBC (Schwarz’s Bayesian Criterion) escolher a estrutura de covariância mais adequada das observações dentro de um mesmo indivíduo. Foi possível incorporar ao modelo estatístico, uma estrutura de covariância entre medidas repetidas, sendo as formas autorregressiva e simetria composta as mais adequadas. Os valores dos coeficientes de repetibilidade obtidos para PF (0,25), NF (0,14) e PROD (0,29) foram considerados baixos, indicando que para a população em estudo as três safras realizadas não foram suficientes para selecionar os melhores indivíduos com maior acurácia. Para as variáveis PF e PROD, a partir de cinco medições seria possível a obtenção de estimativas de acurácias em torno de 0,50. Enquanto que para a variável NF, observou-se que mais safras seriam necessárias. Estes valores indicam que em populações segregantes de goiabeira, avaliações nas primeiras safras, não são suficientes para seleção de genótipos mais estáveis para as variáveis consideradas neste estudo. | ABSTRACT The present study was conducted with the objective of analyzing the covariance structure and repeatability estimates of the variables related to guava productivity, such as fruit weight (FW), fruit number (FN) and fruit production (FP) of three harvests, in 95 genotypes of a segregating population. The study also aims to choose the most appropriate covariance structure of the observations within the same individual by means of AIC (Akaike's Information Criterion) and SBC (Schwarz's Bayesian Criterion) criteria. A covariance structure between repeated measures could be incorporated into the statistical model, with the self-regression and compound symmetry forms being the most adequate. The values of repeatability coefficients obtained for FW (0.25), FN (0.14), and FP (0.29) were considered low, indicating that the three harvests were not sufficient to select the best individuals with greater accuracy for the study population. For the variables PF and FP, estimates of accuracy around 0.50 could be obtained from five measurements, while for the variable FN more harvests would be necessary. These values indicate that in guava-segregating populations, evaluations in the first harvests are not enough to select more stable genotypes for the variables considered in this study.

RESUMO A bananicultura destaca-se como uma atividade de grande importância econômica e social, sendo explorada na maioria dos países tropicais. O presente trabalho propôs avaliar o acúmulo de biomassa e os teores de nitrogênio (N), fósforo (P), potássio (K), cálcio (Ca) e magnésio (Mg) em mudas micropropagadas de bananeira cv. Prata Catarina, durante a fase de aclimatização sob diferentes tipos doses e de biofertilizantes. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados em arranjo fatorial 2 × 5 + (2), referentes a dois tipos de biofertilizantes líquidos (bovino de fermentação anaeróbia e aeróbia) e cinco doses de biofertilizantes (0,25; 0,50; 0,75; 1,00 e 1,25 L planta-1 semana-1), com dois tratamentos adicionais (controle e adubação mineral recomendada). Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis: massa seca das folhas, das raízes e teores de elementos minerais (N, P, K, Ca e Mg) nas diferentes partes da planta (folha e raiz). O biofertilizante bovino com fermentação anaeróbia apresenta maior aporte nutricional em relação biofertilizante de fermentação aeróbio e ao controle, porém menor em relação à adubação mineral para as mudas durante os 90 dias de aclimatização. A dose de 1000 mL do biofertilizante com fermentação anaeróbia promove maior acúmulo de massa seca nas folhas e raízes da bananeira Prata Catarina. O biofertilizante com fermentação anaeróbia proporciona maiores teores de N, K e Ca nas folhas, enquanto, o biofertilizante com fermentação aeróbia promove maiores teores de P nas folhas e raízes. | ABSTRACT Banana farming is an activity of great economic and social importance, and is carried out in most tropical countries. The aim of this work was to evaluate the biomass accumulation and levels of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in micropropagated plants of the banana “Prata Catarina” during the acclimatization phase, under different types and doses of biofertilisers. The experimental design included randomised blocks in a 2 × 5 + (2) factorial scheme, with two types of liquid biofertilisers (bovine biofertiliser with anaerobic and aerobic fermentation) and five biofertiliser doses (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, and 1.25 L plant-1 week-1), as well as two additional treatments (control and recommended mineral fertilisation). The following variables were analysed: dry weight of the leaves and roots, and mineral element content (N, P, K, Ca, and Mg) in different parts of the plant (leaf and root). During 90 days of acclimatization, the nutritional contribution of bovine biofertiliser with anaerobic fermentation was greater in comparison with the biofertiliser with aerobic fermentation and the control, but lower in comparison with mineral fertilisation. The 1000-mL dose of the biofertiliser with anaerobic fermentation promoted greater dry weight accumulation in the leaves and roots of the banana “Prata Catarina”. The biofertiliser with anaerobic fermentation promoted higher levels of N, K, and Ca in the leaves, whereas the biofertiliser with aerobic fermentation promoted higher levels of P in the leaves and roots.

ABSTRACT The cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.], also known as cowpea, is of fundamental socioeconomic importance to the northeast of Brazil, and has become one of the main sources of protein in the diet of the rural population. However, in this region, it has become necessary to identify genotypes that are better adapted to drought. In addition, research is needed regarding the action of substances that promote tolerance to stress factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidative response of cowpea cultivars under osmotic stress conditions using potassium nitrate as an attenuator. Five osmotic potentials were tested in the substrate (0.0, −0.2, −0.4, −0.6, and −0.8 MPa), and three seed treatments (pre-soaking in distilled water, pre-soaking in potassium nitrate, and without pre-soaking) were tested in three cowpea cultivars (BRS Itaim, BRS Aracê, and BRS Potengi). The design was randomized with 45 treatments and four replications. The data were submitted to analysis of variance (P < 0.05), and in cases of significance, regression analysis was conducted to quantitate the factors. Our results indicate that an increase in proline content in cowpea plants may be seen as indicative of the intensity of water stress on germination and the initial stages of growth of the plant. The BRS Itaim cultivar best tolerates drought conditions with the application of potassium nitrate, given the increased activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and ascorbate peroxidase. | RESUMO O feijão-caupi [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.], também conhecido como feijão macassar, representa fundamental importância socioeconômica para o Nordeste do Brasil, constituindo-se como uma das principais fontes proteicas na alimentação da população rural. Todavia, nessa região é necessário identificar genótipos mais adaptados ao déficit hídrico, bem como conhecer a ação de substâncias promotoras de tolerância a fatores de estresse. O objetivo desse trabalho foi avaliar a resposta antioxidativa de cultivares feijão-caupi sob condições de estresse osmótico, utilizando como atenuador o nitrato de potássio. Foram testados cinco potenciais osmóticos no substrato (0,0; -0,2; -0,4; -0,6 e -0,8 MPa) e três tratamentos de sementes (pré-embebição em água destilada; pré-embebição em nitrato de potássio e sem pré-embebição) em três cultivares (BRS Itaim, BRS Aracê e BRS Potengi). Foi adotado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições e sementes por repetição. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância (P<0,05) e nos casos de significância foi realizada a análise de regressão para fator de natureza quantitativa. Os resultados indicam que um aumento no teor de prolina em feijão-caupi pode ser visto como indicativo da intensidade do estresse hídrico na germinação e nos estágios iniciais de crescimento da planta. A cultivar BRS Itaim tolera melhor as condições de seca com a aplicação de nitrato de potássio,dado o aumento da atividade de enzimas antioxidantes como superóxido dismutase, catalase e ascorbato peroxidase.
