Abstract
Cultivation and commercialization of Capsicum pepper have great importance in Brazil. This work assessed the influence of omission of macro and micronutrients on the growth and mineral nutrition of sweet pepper plants ( Capsicum chinense Jacquin). The research was carried out in a greenhouse with washed sand as substrate. The experimental design was completely randomized with five replications and eight treatments: complete (control), omission of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and micronutrients (B, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn). The plants were submitted to the treatments when they reached an average height of 20 cm and the nutrient solution was supplied by percolation in plastic pots and renewed every 15 days. Nutrients omission affected negatively plant growth as a whole. The omission of N, Ca, and micronutrients greatly reduced sweet pepper yield. The C. chinense plants presented the sequence by dry matter production of shoots and roots in descending order: COMP > OP > OS > OK > Omg > ON > Oca > OMicro.
期刊介绍:
Ceres Journal is a journal bimonthly published by Universidade Federal de Viçosa (Federal University of Viçosa - UFV). It is intended for the publication of unpublished scientific papers, with technical and scientific relevance, resulting from studies related to innovations and solutions to the problems of agriculture, with emphasis on tropical-related studies. Ceres publishes papers ni: -Plant production -Soil and plant nutrition -Plant breeding applied to agriculture -Plant Health -Physiology and morphology applied to agriculture -Vegetative and seminiferous propagation -Agricultural Engineering (specifically: Irrigation and Drainage; Soil Physics; Agrometeorology; Precision ---Agriculture; Technology and Application of Pesticides) -Animal production and health applied to agriculture
