ABSTRACT

The use of soil conditioners as bovine biofertilizer associated with mineral fertilization affect the physical and physicochemical quality of passion fruit. For fruit growth, post-harvest quality is crucial for production chain development, as it is the characteristic most used by the fresh consumption market for this fruit. In this sense, an experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of doses of bovine biofertilizer in the soil with and without nitrogen fertilization in the cultivation of yellow passion fruit. A randomized block design was adopted, with three replications in a 5×2 factorial scheme, referring to five doses of liquid bovine biofertilizer (B) diluted in water (A): 0% - control (0B + 4A); 25% (1B + 3A); 50% (2B + 2A); 75% (3B + 1A); and 100% (4B + 0A) with and without nitrogen fertilization applied to the soil. Urea was the nitrogen source used in this study. A total of 10 g plant-1 of N was applied monthly at 30 and 60 days after transplanting, and after that age, 20 g plant-1 was applied until the end of harvest. During the final phase of production and ripening, twelve fruits were harvested from each treatment in physiological maturation for physical and physicochemical characterization. The following analyses were performed: longitudinal diameter, transversal diameter, number of seeds per fruit, peel firmness, pulp yield, fruit peel percentage, pulp pH, soluble solids content; titratable acidity and soluble solids content/titratable acidity ratio. Data underwent analysis of variance by the F test means for nitrogen were compared by Tukey's test and means for bovine biofertilizer, by regression. Nitrogen enhances the positive effect of bovine biofertilizer on the postharvest quality of yellow passion fruit. The association of biofertilizer and nitrogen improves fruit quality in comparison to plants without these inputs, except for pulp yield and fruit peel percentage, which suffered isolated effects from the factors. High doses of biofertilizer, above 75 and 100%, reduce soluble solids content and increase titratable acidity. The bovine biofertilizer has promising effects, but it does not replace nitrogen fertilization on the postharvest quality of yellow passion fruit.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the hydropolymer TerraCottem on soil microbial activity by measuring soil respiration and leaching of mineral nitrogen. Materials and methods. The incubation experiment contained control variants with natural soil of Nerja area (South Spain, inside the Sierra Tejeda, Almijara and Alhama Natural Park, 36.7985173° N 3.8511693° W; WCGS84), variants with the addition of easy available nitrogen compounds (kg N ha-1), easy accessible carbon compounds (1% glucose solution) and a combinations of both. Within each variant, the recommended amount of control hydropolymers (1.5 kg/m3) and a double dose of 3.0 kg/m3 were compared. Results. Showed that respiration activity of the soil in this Mediterranean area was not eliminated by the lack of ready available nitrogen or carbon substrates. Furthermore, differences in CO2 production between the variants containing different amounts of hydropolymers were not significant. A statistically significant difference in the CO2 production was found in the first week compared to longer time periods. Conclusions. The mineral nitrogen leaching measurement showed that the biological activity of the studied is not affected by nitrogen dynamics which is balanced regardless of the amount of applied hydropolymer. On the other hand, leaching processes occurred when soil was doped only with nitrogen compounds or only carbonaceous, a problem that can appear after fertilizers application.


RESUMEN Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio pasa por evaluar el efecto del-Terracottem- en la actividad microbiana del suelo mediante la medida de la respiración edáfica y la pérdida de nitrógeno mineral por lixiviación. El ensayo se ha realizado en condiciones de laboratorio controladas y con suelos naturales. Materiales y métodos. Para el experimento, se han diseñado varios tratamientos: i) suelos naturales a los que se les ha adicionado compuestos nitrogenados de libre disponibilidad (Kg N ha-1); ii) suelos naturales a los que se les ha adicionado carbohidratos de libre disponibilidad (1% de solución de glucosa); iii) suelos naturales a los que se les ha adicionado una mezcla de compuestos nitrogenados de libre disponibilidad (Kg N ha-1) con carbohidratos (1% de solución de glucosa). En cada variante se han testeado diferentes dosis del polímero. Resultados. Los resultados han demostrado que la actividad respiratoria del suelo es independiente de la disponibilidad de compuestos como el nitrógeno o carbono. Tampoco se han observado diferencias significativas entre las diferentes dosis del polímero. Por el contrario, si se observaron diferencias en la producción de CO2. Conclusiones. La lixiviación únicamente se producía cuando los suelos eran enmendados con compuestos únicamente nitrogenados o únicamente sólo carbonosos.
