An example is the municipality of Martins, where vegetable cropping is not a traditional practice. Since it is a region with potential for cultivation of noble garlic, comprising soil and climate conditions that are distinct from traditional production regions in Brazil, the use of nitrogen fertilization becomes an alternative to increase crop yield. This fact can stimulate the semiarid producer to invest in the crop, once it guarantees greater economic return. Thus, aiming to evaluate the production of vernalized noble garlic as a function of nitrogen doses applied in top dressing, an experiment was developed from May to August 2014, using a complete randomized complete block design with five replicates. The treatments consisted of the cover application of increasing doses of N (0, 40, 80, 120, and 160 kg ha -1 ). The following were evaluated: plant height; number of leaves; average bulb weight; total, commercial, and noncommercial bulb yield; bulb and bulblet classification; and number of bulblets per bulb. The dose of 90 kg ha -1 nitrogen, applied in top dressing, provided the highest averages of plant height, number of leaves, average bulb weight, and total bulb yield. The dose of maximum economic efficiency was 91 kg ha -1 , which promoted greater commercial bulb yield. The number of bulblets per bulb and bulblet classification were not influenced by nitrogen doses applied in top dressing.","PeriodicalId":35044,"journal":{"name":"Cientifica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44206155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this study evaluates the morphophysiological responses of soybean ( Glycine max (L.) Merr.) genetically modified to tolerate glyphosate (RR soybean), in coexistence with Urochloa spp., treated or not with glyphosate subdoses and subjected to water deficit. Two tests were carried out in pots with forage species Urochloa ruziziensis (R.Germ & Evrard) Crins and Urochloa brizantha (Hochst. Ex A. Rich.) R. D. Webster cv. Marandu coexisting with soybean, in randomized blocks with five replicates. The tests were arranged in a 2x2x2 factorial arrangement: the first factor was represented by the absence and presence of forage; the second by the absence and use of glyphosate subdoses; and the third factor by 50% and 100% field capacity in the pots. The use of glyphosate suppressed the competitive capacity of forages, benefiting the soybean in coexistence. In the absence of suppression from glyphosate, the competition exerted by the forage promoted lower values for the physiological and morphological variables of soybean plants. Among the forages, U. ruziziensis was the most competitive with soybean plants. The root system of forages was not affected by water deficit, only the physiological and morphological characteristics of soybean, mainly rootdry mass.

The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replicates, in which 11 C. chinense accessions were evaluated, based on 11 quantitative fruit traits.
