Characterization of nutrient deficiency in Hancornia speciosa Gomes seedlings by omitting micronutrients from the nutrient solution

Zusammenfassung: | Hancornia speciosa Gomes (Mangaba tree) is a fruit tree belonging to the Apocynaceae family and is native to Brazil. The production of seedlings of this species is limited by a lack of technical and nutritional expertise. To address this deficiency, this study aimed to characterize the visual symptoms of micronutrient deficiency and to assess growth and leaf nutrient accumulation in H. speciosa seedlings supplied with nutrient solutions that lack individual micronutrients. H. speciosa plants were grown in nutrient solution in a greenhouse according to a randomized block design, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of a group receiving complete nutrient solution and groups treated with a nutrient solution lacking one of the following micronutrients: boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and molybdenum (Mo). The visual symptoms of nutrient deficiency were generally easy to characterize. Dry matter production was affected by the omission of micronutrients, and the treatment lacking Fe most limited the stem length, stem diameter, root length, and number of leaves in H. speciosa seedlings as well as the dry weight of leaves, the total dry weight, and the relative growth in H. speciosa plants. The micronutrient contents of H. speciosa leaves from plants receiving the complete nutrient solution treatment were, in decreasing order, Fe>Mn>Cu>Zn>B.
A mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) é uma frutífera pertencente à família Apocynaceae, originária do Brasil. A produção de mudas desta espécie em grande escala ainda é limitada pela escassez de conhecimentos técnicos e nutricionais. Para obter maiores esclarecimentos sobre o assunto, este trabalho objetivou caracterizar os sintomas visuais de deficiência de micronutrientes, avaliar o crescimento e o acúmulo de nutrientes foliar de mudas de mangabeira, submetidas a diferentes soluções nutritivas com suspensão de micronutrientes. Plantas de mangabeira foram cultivadas em solução nutritiva, dentro de casa de vegetação, no delineamento de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de solução nutritiva completa e omissão individual de boro, cobre, ferro, manganês, zinco e molibdênio. Os sintomas visuais de deficiências de nutrientes mostraram-se, de maneira geral, facilmente caracterizáveis. A produção de matéria seca foi afetada pela omissão de micronutrientes, e o tratamento que mais limitou o comprimento do caule, diâmetro do caule, comprimento da raiz |
