Zusammenfassung:In order to evaluate the effect of irrigation water salinity in interaction with different potassium and calcium ratios applied through fertigation in eggplant, an experiment was carried out at the Department of Environmental and Technological Sciences of the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid Region, in Mossoro, RN, Brazil. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a 5 x 4 factorial scheme, with four replicates. The treatments were obtained by the combination between five ionic ratios of potassium and calcium (F1 = 4.2/1; F2 = 3.5/1; F3 = 2.8/1; F4 = 2.2/1; F5 = 1.8/1) and four levels of irrigation water salinity ([S.sub.1]--0.5; [S.sub.2]--2.0; [S.sub.3]--3.5; and [S.sub.4]--5.0 dS [m.sup.-1]). The following variables were evaluated: number of fruits per plant, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit fresh weight and yield. Yield, fruit length, fruit fresh weight and number of fruits decreased with the increase of salinity in all the treatments. Salinity significantly affected fruit diameter, which increased only under fertigation with potassium-rich solutions.Key words:Solanum melongena L.cultivation of vegetablesfertigation managementsalinityCom o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da salinidade da agua de irrigacao em interacao com diferentes razoes entre potassio e calcio aplicados via fertigacao em berinjela, instalou-se um experimento no Departamento de Ciencias Ambientais e Tecnologicas da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Arido, em Mossoro, RN. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 5x4, com quatro repeticoes. Os tratamentos foram formados pela combinacao entre cinco razoes ionicas entre potassio e calcio ([K.sup.+]/[Ca.sup.2+]) (F1 = 4,2/1; F2 = 3,5/1; F3 = 2,8/1; F4 = 2,2/1; F5 = 1,8/1), com quatro niveis de salinidade na agua de irrigacao ([S.sub.1]--0,5; [S.sub.2]--2,0; [S.sub.3]--3,5; e [S.sub.4]--5,0 dS [m.sup.-1]). Foram avaliadas as variaveis: numero de frutos por planta, comprimento de frutos, diametro de fruto, massa fresca de frutos e produtividade. As variaveis produtividade, comprimento, massa fresca e numero de frutos por planta apresentaram reducao com o aumento da salinidade para todos os tratamentos. A salinidade afetou significativamente o diametro dos frutos, onde observou-se incremento apenas nas fertigacoes potassicas.Palavras-chave:Solanum melongena L.cultivo de hortalicasmanejo da fertigacaosalinidade
