ABSTRACT

O cultivo orgânico é preconizado para o capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus (DC) Stapf.) como planta medicinal promissora ao desenvolvimento de fármacos no Brasil. Objetivou-se avaliar técnicas de controle de plantas invasoras sobre componentes de produção de capim limão em cultivos orgânico e convencional. Dois experimentos foram instalados sob delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial 2x2x3, considerando-se duas áreas (orgânico e convencional) e os tratamentos combinando cobertura morta (presente e ausente) e técnicas de controle de plantas invasoras (capina manual, roçada e nenhuma). Altura, perfilhamento, teor e rendimento total de óleo essencial de capim-limão no cultivo orgânico foram superiores ao convencional, mas a produtividade de biomassa aérea seca não diferiu entre ambos. A capina, com ou sem cobertura morta, favoreceu o rendimento de óleo no cultivo orgânico.


Organic farming is recommended for lemongrass as a promising medicinal plant for drug development in Brazil. The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the effect of the techniques to control weed on the plant height, tillering, biomass productivity, content and yield of the essential oil of lemon grass in organic and conventional crops. Two experiments were set in a completely randomized design with four replications, at a 2x2x3 factorial scheme, considering two areas (organic and conventional) and treatments combining mulching (present and absent) and weed control techniques (hoeing, skimming and none). Plant height, tillering, content and yield of the essential oil of lemongrass were better in the organic crop, but the biomass productivity did not differ between both areas. The biomass production was better in the conventional crop as to weed control, with or without mulching, and for organic crop under hoeing or skimming with mulching. Hoeing or skimming with no mulching improved the oil content in organic crops. Hoeing or skimming with mulching was better than any other weed control technique with no mulching, and hoeing was better than skimming, justifying its recommendation as a technique for this crop system.

ABSTRACT

Este trabalho visou avaliar a bioatividade de extratos hidroalcoólicos de capim-limão sobre germinação e crescimento inicial da planta daninha picão-preto (Bidens pilosa L.) e da planta teste alface (Lactuca sativa L.). A partir de maceração hidroalcoólica de folhas secas e rasuradas (127,46 g) de capim-limão em 1L de álcool de cereais (70%), foram preparados os tratamentos como extratos hidroalcoólicos (HA) pela diluição (v/v) do macerado filtrado em água deionizada na proporção 1:1 (HA1:1) e 1:2 (HA1:2); dos quais foram obtidos os respectivos extratos secos (ES), a partir da evaporação da fase líquida de duas alíquotas de 50 mL de cada extrato HA, que após re-suspendidas em igual volume de água, sendo uma autoclavada (1 atm por 15 minutos), resultando nos extratos secos de HA1:1 e HA1:2 autoclavados (ES1:1A e ES1:2A) e nos extratos secos não autoclavados (ES1:1 e ES1:2); e água (AG) como controle. No primeiro dia dos bioensaios, foram aplicados 2 mL dos tratamentos, em DIC, com cinco repetições. Avaliou-se a porcentagem de germinação (G%), Índice de Velocidade de Germinação (IVG), altura da parte aérea (AA) e comprimento de radícula (CR) de aquênios (25) de picão-preto e de alface distribuídos em placas de Petri e mantidos em câmara de germinação (B.O.D.) por duas semanas. Os extratos HA1:1 e HA1:2 inibiram a G%, AA e CR das duas espécies. Todos os extratos secos reduziram a G%, IVG e o CR da alface. Para o picão preto, apenas o extrato ES1:1 reduziu a G% e o IVG foi reduzido por todos os extratos, a exceção do ES1:1A, mas nenhum extrato influenciou o crescimento inicial desta espécie.


This study aimed to evaluate the bioactivity of hydroalcoholic extract of lemongrass on the germination and early growth of the weed plant beggartick (Bidens pilosa L.) and the test plant lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). From the hydroalcoholic maceration of dried and cut leaves of lemon grass (127.46 g) in 1 L grain alcohol (70%), the following treatments were prepared, hydro-alcoholic (HA) extracts by diluting (v/v) the macerate in deionized water at 1:1 (HA1:1) and 1:2 (HA1:2) proportions, obtaining the respective dried extracts (DE) from the evaporation of the liquid phase of two 50-mL aliquots of each HA extract; after resuspension in the same water volume, one aliquot was autoclaved (1 atm for 15 minutes) resulting in HA1:1 and HA1:2 dried autoclaved extracts (DE1:1A and DE1:2A) and in dried non-autoclaved extracts (ES1:1 and ES1:2), and water as control. On the first day of bioassays, 2mL of treatments were applied, in completely randomized design, with 5 replicates. Germination percentage (G%), Germination Speed Index (GSI), shoot height (SH) and radicle length (RL) of achenes (25) of beggartick and lettuce were evaluated after having been distributed in Petri dishes and kept in a germination chamber (B.O.D.) for two weeks. HA1:1 and HA1:2 extracts inhibited G%, SH and RL of both species. All dried extracts reduced G%, GSI and CR of lettuce. For beggartick, only ES1:1 extract reduced G% while GSI was reduced in all extracts, except ES1:1A, but no extract influenced the early growth of this species.
