Contents of nitrogen compounds during bud break and peach tree performance in response to budburst-inducing products
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2022) [Artigo]The growth of peach orchards in subtropical regions depends on the minimal requirements for chilling accumulation, and crop loading requires sprays of chemical compounds to overcome dormancy, induce bud break, and allow ... -
Chilling and forcing requirement of five international fig cultivars grown in Southeastern Brazil
(Revista Ceres, 2022) [Artigo]Chill hours availability influence break dormancy, sprouting and production of temperate fruits trees in different regions. However, there are few reports on the subject for fig tree. This study aimed to evaluate the effects ... -
Establishing a critical nitrogen dilution curve for estimating nitrogen nutrition index of potato crop in tropical environments
(Field Crops Research, 2022) [Artigo]The critical nitrogen (N) dilution curve (CNDC) (Nc = A1W-A2) and the N nutrition index (NNI) have shown to be a robust diagnostic tool to assess crop N status. Several CNDCs were established for potatoes (Solanum tuberosum ... -
Plant growth regulators as thinners in guava orchards increase larger fruits with higher nutritional value
(Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2022) [Artigo]The production of large guavas guarantees better market prices. Chemical thinning is a practice performed to increase fruit size and nutritional value with benefits for growers and consumers. By using ethephon and benzyladenine ... -
Optimization of Leaf Nitrogen Concentration and Monitoring Time for Sustainable Potato Production in Tropics
(Journal of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2022) [Artigo]Crop nitrogen (N) status monitoring is required as a decision-making tool to optimize N management of current potato cultivars (Solanum tuberosum L.). Field experiments were conducted to assess the leaf N concentration ... -
Potato
(Crop Physiology Case Histories for Major Crops, 2020) [Capítulo de livro]Potato is one of the main food crops and is widely adapted to diverse environments worldwide. Although the genetic origin of the current improved potatoes is relatively narrow, physiological traits, nutritional traits, and ... -
Potassium management effects on yield and quality of cassava varieties in tropical sandy soils
(Crop and Pasture Science, 2022) [Artigo]Potassium (K) fertilisation at planting time may not be sufficient to achieve high cassava yields. Experiments were conducted over two growing periods using sweet cassava (SC) variety IAC 576-70 and bitter cassava (BC) ... -
New beverage based on grapes and purple-fleshed sweet potatoes: Use of non-standard tubers
(Food Bioscience, 2022) [Artigo]Grapes and sweet potatoes are two different plant species that have distinct bioactive composition and the use of both in a non-alcoholic mixed beverage may be an interesting source of phytochemicals. Physicochemical and ... -
Impact of nitrogen and green manure on yield and quality of sweet potato in sandy soil: A Brazilian case study
(Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, 2021) [Artigo]A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of mineral N rates on the yield, morphological traits, quality, and mineral content of the storage roots of sweet potato grown after different green manure sources. ... -
Agronomic yield and starch properties of banana cultivars
(Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira, 2021) [Artigo]The objective of this work was to evaluate the banana cultivars for their agronomic yield and starch characteristics. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design, with a factorial arrangement of ... -
Performance of conventional and enhanced-efficiency nitrogen fertilizers on potato tuber mineral composition and marketability
(Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2021) [Artigo]BACKGROUND: Potato is an essential crop for global food security, and its cultivation requires a significant amount of readily available nitrogen (N) to ensure tuber quality. Therefore, managing N with enhanced-efficiency ... -
Shoot growth, tuber yield and quality of two potato cultivars as affected by prohexadione-calcium application
(Revista Ceres, 2021) [Artigo]This study evaluated the effects of the rates and timings of prohexadione-calcium (prohexadione-Ca) application on shoot growth, tuber yield, and quality of two potato cultivars (Agata and Mondial). An experiment with each ... -
Mix of trinexapac-ethyl and nitrogen application to reduce upland rice plant height and increase yield
(Plant Growth Regulation, 2022) [Artigo]Techniques to increase grain production such as nitrogen fertilization and plant growth regulators are essential to enable and enhance rice yield. Therefore, our goal was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilization ... -
Dynamics of macronutrient uptake and removal by modern peanut cultivars
(Plants, 2021) [Artigo]The productive potential of new peanut cultivars has increased over the years in relation to old cultivars, especially when compared with ones with upright growth habit. Thus, the requirement for macronutrients for these ... -
Liming and phosphorus fertilization increase cassava root yield without affecting its cooking time
(Agronomy Journal, 2021) [Artigo]Acidity and low P availability in tropical soils constrain cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) yield. Liming increases soil Ca and P availability, but Ca can increase the storage root cooking time, and its effects vary with ... -
Unmodified cassava starches with high phosphorus content
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021) [Artigo]Our study was based on the fact that physiological changes in the plant resulting from the growth conditions alter the properties of the starch. An experimental trial was installed with cassava plants in poor phosphorus ... -
