Abstract
Phosphorus (P) is one of the most limiting nutrients for plant species and its intensive use can exhaust world reserves. In general, forest production is unviable without the availability of P. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of phosphate fertilization on plant growth of four families of lemon eucalyptus (Corymbia citriodora). Plants produced from seeds of four seed trees were used, which were subjected to seven doses of phosphorus: 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 mg P dm-3. The experiment was carried out in a 7 × 4 factorial arrangement, with four replicates and using containers with 5 dm3 of a Red Eutropheric Latosol type soil. The response variables measured were monthly plant height, plant collar diameter at 90 d, dry biomass weight of leaves, roots, stems and branches, and phosphorus use efficiency of leaves. The variations of the characteristics evaluated as a function of phosphorus concentration were analysed by means of polynomial regression equations. Phosphate fertilization is necessary for the growth and development of C. citriodora plants. Plants of the four C. citriodora seed trees from different provenances responded differentially to phosphorus doses. It was found that the optimum amount of phosphorus ranges between 30 and 100 mg dm-3 according to the characteristics evaluated and the seed tree.
期刊介绍:
AGROCIENCIA is a scientific journal created and sponsored by the Colegio de Postgraduados. Its main objective is the publication and diffusion of agricultural, animal and forestry sciences research results from mexican and foreign scientists. All contributions are peer reviewed. Starting in the year 2000, AGROCIENCIA became a bimonthly and fully bilingual journal (Spanish and English versions in the same issue). Since 2007 appears every month and a half (eight issues per year). In addition to the printed issues, the full content is available in electronic format.
