Calcário e gesso na semeadura do amendoim combinados com adubação boratada foliar

Abstract

Expressive part of the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in São Paulo State has cultivated for rotation in condemned areas of sugar cane that need to be reformed, and those areas frequently have presented low micronutrients levels and low basis saturation in soil. The objective of this work was to quantify the production and the yield components of the peanut crop fertilized with lime and gypsum applied in sowing combined with boron manure by leaf spray. The experiment was carried out from December 2007 to April 2008, on a dystroferric Hapludox, medium texture, in Guararapes, SP, Brazil. A randomized complete blocks design, with four replicates, and split plots, was used. The plots were composed by absence of Ca font (control), dolomite limestone with 0,5, 1 and 2 Mg ha-1 and gypsum with 0,5, 1 and 2 Mg ha-1, applied on sowing time of the peanut crop. The subplots were composed by levels boron with 0, 0,5, 1 and 2 kg ha-1 applied by leaf spray in initial flowering stage of the plants. The peanut crop presented expressive response to boron manuring, and the largest grains and pods productivities were obtain with 1 kg ha-1 of B. Fertilizations only Ca fonts applied in peanut sowing didn´t increase productivity and yield components. Combinations between Ca fonts applied in crop sowing and boron manuring by leaf spray favored the net yield of grains after peel off.
