Interações fósforo-magnésio em mudas de mamoeiros Tainung nº. 1 e Improved Sunrise Solo 72/12

portugais. Avaliou-se a influência de doses de fósforo (20, 150, 300, 450 e 600 mg dm-3) e magnésio (0, 15, 30 e 60 mg dm-3) sobre a produção de biomassa seca da parte aérea (BSPA), teores e acúmulos de P e Mg em mudas de mamoeiro cv. Improved Sunrise Solo 72/12 e do híbrido Tainung nº1. Os experimentos foram realizados em delineamento de blocos casualizados com quatro repetições em esquema fatorial. A dose de 600 mg dm-3 proporcionou os maiores ganhos em biomassa seca da parte aérea da cv. ISS 72/12 e do híbrido Tainung nº1. Na cv ISS 72/12, em baixos níveis de P no substrato, a adição de Mg proporcionou aumento nos teores de P na BSPA. Os teores de Mg na BSPA nas duas variedades foram inversamente relacionados ao aumento dos níveis de P no substrato. Os teores de P na BSPA são influenciados por interações entre o P e o Mg do substrato.

anglais. The influence of phosphorus (20, 150, 300, 450 , and 600 mg dm-3) and magnesium (0, 15, 30 , and 60 mg dm-3) rates upon the dry aerial biomass yield, and phosphorus and magnesium content and accumulation in cv. Improved Sunrise Solo 72/12 and in the hybrid Tainung nº1 papaya seedlings were evaluated. The experiments were carried out in randomized block design with four replications, in a factorial arrangement. In the ISS 72/12 plants, all phosphorus and magnesium content was influenced by phosphorus-magnesium interactions. Increasing accumulation on dry mass in response to phosphorus and magnesium rates was observed. The greater gain on ISS 72/12 and Tainung nº1 dry aerial biomass was obtained at the 600 mg dm-3 level of phosphorus. In the ISS 72/12 cultivar, under low levels of phosphorus, the magnesium additions increased the phosphorus content on dry aerial biomass yield. The magnesium content in both varieties showed a negative relationship with the phosphorus level of the substrate. The phosphorus content in the dry aerial biomass yield was influenced by phosphorus and magnesium substrate interactions.
