ABSTRACT

One of the challenges of the scientific research on sweet potatoes in semi-arid environments is to increase biomass amounts of spontaneous species from the Caatinga biome, such as hairy woodrose (Merremia aegyptia L.) and roostertree (Calotropis procera Ait.), for use as green fertilizers during cultivation. Therefore, this study aimed to agronomically and economically optimize the agronomic characteristics of sweet potato root production in a monoculture, fertilized with equal amounts of biomass mixture of these spontaneous species, over two years of cultivation. The experimental design was complete randomized blocks with five treatments and five replications. The treatments consisted of equal amounts of hairy woodrose and roostertree biomass at 16, 29, 42, 55, and 68 t ha-1 on a dry basis. An additional sweet potato treatment was planted in each experiment, one without fertilizers (control) and another with mineral fertilizer, to compare with the treatment of maximum physical or economic efficiency. Sweet potato fertilization obtained the maximum optimized productive efficiency by incorporating 46.97 t ha-1 of dry biomass of M. aegyptia and C. procera into the soil. The maximum optimized agroeconomic efficiency (based on net income) of sweet potato cultivation occurred by adding 41.55 t ha-1 of dry biomass of M. aegyptia and C. procera to the soil. Using biomass from the green fertilizers M. aegyptia and C. procera is a viable technology for producers who practice sweet potato monocropping in semi-arid environments.

ABSTRACT

Mossoró, RN, Brazil, is considered one of the fruit growing centers of the Northeast region. This municipality has a persistent water deficit, with the need to develop irrigated agriculture with efficient water use and rational management of irrigation. The objective of this study was to evaluate estimation methods of reference evapotranspiration (ETo) for different climate conditions of Mossoró, comparing them with the standard Penman-Monteith-FAO 56 method. A daily data series of two distinct years, a rainy (2011) and a dry year (2012), was used. The data were obtained from the weather station of the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid Region (UFERSA). An analysis was performed to identify methods that best fit those of Penman-Monteith-FAO 56, and for this, ten methods were evaluated using statistical indices. The Penman-Original, Radiation-Temperature, and Hargreaves-Original methods stood out and satisfactorily met ETo estimation for the rainy season, while the Jensen-Haise, Radiation-Temperature, and Hargreaves-Original methods achieved satisfactory performance for the dry season. The Hargreaves-Samani method did not demonstrate viability in the use of ETo estimation, as it was the worst method in both studied periods and is not recommended for irrigation management.


O município de Mossoró-RN é considerado uns dos polos fruticultores da região Nordeste. O município apresenta constante déficit hídrico, sendo necessário o desenvolvimento da agricultura irrigada com o uso eficiente da água, sendo fundamental o manejo racional da irrigação. Este trabalho objetivou avaliar para as condições climáticas de Mossoró-RN, diferentes métodos de estimativa da evapotranspiração de referência (ETo), comparando-os com o método padrão de Penman-Monteith-FAO 56. Foi utilizada uma série de dados diários de dois anos distintos, um ano chuvoso (2011) e outro seco (2012). Os dados foram obtidos na estação meteorológica da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA). Foi realizada análise visando identificar os métodos que melhor se ajustam ao de Penman-Monteith-FAO 56, e para isto, foram avaliados 10 métodos mediante índices estatísticos. Destacaram-se os métodos de Penman-Original, Radiação-Temperatura e Hargreaves-Original, os quais atenderam satisfatoriamente a estimativa da ETo para o período chuvoso, enquanto que os métodos de Jensen-Haise, Radiação-Temperatura e Hargreaves-Original obtiveram desempenho satisfatório para o período seco. O método de Hargreaves-Samani não demonstrou viabilidade na utilização de estimativa da ETo, pois foi o pior método em ambos os períodos estudados, não sendo recomendado para o manejo da irrigação.
