Produção de cana-de-açúcar em função de lâminas de irrigação

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the development during the cycle and yield of cane sugar, RB 86 7515, led the field with different irrigation water by drip irrigation. The experiment was conducted at the experimental area of experimental UNOESTE, from October 2008 to September 2009 in Presidente Prudente - SP, latitude 22o07´04 "S and longitude 51o22´05" W, altitude 435.5m. The climate is the classification of Köppen Aw mesothermal, with prevalence of hot summers and dry winters. We used a variety RB 86 7515, the most cultivated in the West Paulista by high productivity, rapid growth and tolerance to soils with low / medium yield. The planting was done in furrows 30 cm deep with cuttings of 40 cm in length on October 10, 2008. The experiment was arranged in bands consisting of four irrigation levels, with six replicates, resulting in 24 plots of 31.5 m2. The plots consisted of three rows of seven meters floor area being considered as five meters from the centerline. Irrigation was performed in an irrigation interval of seven days from planting to harvest to 360 days after planting. After the planting was done to ensure a full irrigation starting the treatments with soil at field capacity. Reference evapotranspiration (ETo) was obtained by water balance using daily data of a pan evaporation Class A installed in front of the planting area. The water depth was defined in percentage terms in relation to crop evapotranspiration (ETc) obtained by equation 2: T1 - no irrigation (0% ETc - control), T2 - 50% ETc, T3 - 100% ETc -150% ETc and T4. The height of stem and tillering were affected by irrigation. The leaves had the highest negative natural increase with higher irrigation. ATR per hectare was higher with 50% ETc.
