Productivity and mortality, of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passiflorae in passionfruit vines brs rubi do cerrado, grafted onto different rootstocks

The use of scions grafted onto passionfruit vines has become an alternative to their cultivation in areas with a history of fusariosis. However, the combinations between the graft and rootstock can influence on the productivity and longevity of the passionfruit farm. The objective was to evaluate the productivity and mortality of the passionfruit cv BRS Rubi do Cerrado grafted onto three species of rootstock in Terra Nova do Norte-MT. The design was a randomized block with 4 treatments BRS Rubi do Cerrado (BRS-RC) seedling plant along with those grafted onto three species of rootstock: Passiflora gibertii, Passiflora alata; Passiflora nitida. The scions were grafted through a cleft graft and the planting performed after 70 days. The evaluation was made of the total number and weight of the fruits, along with productivity and mortality of plants. Results showed that the BRS-RC, grafted onto P. gibertii and P. nitida, presented the best performance for weight of fruits, number of fruits and productivity. The cultivar that was grafted onto different rootstocks presented higher productivity in regards to the seedling plant. The BRS-RC, grafted onto P. nitida, presented a zero-mortality rate over the 16.5 months of cultivation. The rootstocks P. nitida and P. gibertii were superior to those of P. alata in reducing mortality in the passionfruit vine by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passiflorae. The confirmation was made of the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. passiflorae isolated in the experimental area in scions of the BRS-RC inoculated at 70 days of age.

Agronomic characterization and genetic parameter estimation in yellow passion fruit / Caracterização agronômica e estimativa de parâmetros genéticos em maracujazeiro azedo

The selection of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims) genotypes with high yield and fruit quality is essential for the development of passion fruit crop in the country. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance and estimate the genetic parameters of 32 yellow passion fruit genotypes cultivated in the Federal District, Brazil. The experiment consisted of randomized block design with 32 treatments, eight plants per plot, and four replications. Fruits were classified based on their equatorial diameter. Yield, number of fruits per hectare, and fruit weight were evaluated. Genotypes MAR20#23 and UnB-P7 presented the highest total yield, and MAR20#23 also showed the greatest total number of fruits per hectare. BRS GA1 and MAR20#23 had the best performance for industrial purposes dues to the fruits of smaller diameter classes. UnB-P7, AR-01, and MSC were more indicated for in natura consumption owing to the fruits of greater diameter classes. The high magnitude estimates for heritability and genetic variation coefficients indicate the possibility of greater genetic gains with direct selection for yield and number of fruits of 1C diameter class. Significant phenotypic correlations were observed, indicating the possibility of indirect selection for number of fruits, fruit weight, and yield.

A seleção de genótipos de maracujazeiro azedo (Passiflora edulis Sims) que apresentem alta produtividade e qualidade de frutos é essencial para o desenvolvimento da cultura do maracujá no país. Portanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho agronômico e de estimar parâmetros genéticos de 32 genótipos de maracujazeiro azedo cultivados no Distrito Federal, Brasil. O experimento consistiu de um delineamento em blocos casualizados com 32 tratamentos, oito plantas por parcela, e quatro repetições. Os frutos foram classificados de acordo com o seu diâmetro equatorial. Produtividade, número de frutos por hectare e peso de frutos foram avaliados. Os genótipos MAR20#23 e UNB-P7 apresentaram as maiores produtividades totais, com valores superiores à média nacional. MAR20#23 também mostrou o maior número total de frutos por hectare. BRA GA1 e MAR20#23 exibiram a melhor performance para frutos de menores classes de diâmetro, que são destinados a fins industriais. Para o consumo in natura (frutos de maiores classes de diâmetro), UnB-P7, AR-01 e MSC apresentaram o melhor desempenho. As altas magnitudes das estimativas de herdabilidade e dos coeficientes de variação genéticos indicam a possibilidade de maiores ganhos por seleção direta para produtividade e número de frutos classe 1C. Correlações fenotípicas significativas foram observadas, indicando a possibilidade de seleção indireta para número de frutos, peso de frutos e produtividade.
