Abstract
This work aimed at evaluating yield capacity and gross income of Folhas amarelas chicory in five periods of cut, and of Brasilia carrot under monocropped system with three (33.3 cm) or four (25.0 cm) rows per plot (100 cm of wide) or intercropped with three rows of chicory (Al3C4) and four rows of carrot (Al4C3) and viceversa. Harvests of chicory were performed 63, 103, 143, 183 and 223 days after sowing and that of carrot in 103 days. Curves of height of chicory plants were quadratic with 23 cm for minimum point, which was reached in 170 days after sowing. The number of leaves of chicory plants was higher in monocropped system being the maximum number of 350 leaves m2 in 164 days, under four rows, and the smallest number was for Al3C4 (195 leaves m2). The highest yields of fresh mass of chicory were under monocropped system, under four rows, in the second period of harvest, while the smallest ones were with Al3C4. For carrots, the use of four rows per plot influenced significantly the total root and commercially big root yields, in monocropped as well as in intercropped system. Land Equivalent Ratios were higher than 1.0 in the second harvest, performed in 103 days. For the chicory producer, the intercropped system was economically viable only in the second harvest with Al4C3 treatment. For the carrot producer, both intercropped systems were viable, although Al4C3 was the best.
Highlights
O consórcio de hortaliças, apesar de muito praticado em pequenas hortas comerciais e em hortas de subsistência, é ainda pouco pesquisado
As Razão de Área Equivalente (RAE), para as produtividades de massa fresca das espécies, cultivadas sob os respectivos números de linhas, foram de 1,93 para C3Al4 (3 linhas de cebolinha e 4 linhas de almeirão) e de 1,59 para C4Al3 (4 linhas de cebolinha e 3 linhas de almeirão)
Às médias dos dados de altura das plantas, do número de folhas e da massa fresca das plantas de almeirão, foram ajustadas equações de regressão em função de épocas de colheita, com emprego de polinômios ortogonais
Summary
Néstor Antonio Heredia Zárate1*, Maria do Carmo Vieira, João Dimas Graciano e José Carlos Pezzoni Filho. As curvas de altura das plantas de almeirão foram quadráticas, com 23 cm no ponto de mínimo alcançado aos 170 dias após a semeadura. O número de folhas das plantas de almeirão foi maior no cultivo solteiro, sendo o máximo de 350 folhas m2 aos 164 dias, sob 4 fileiras, e o menor número no Al3C4 (195 folhas m2). As maiores produções de massa fresca do almeirão ocorreram sob cultivo solteiro, sob 4 fileiras, na segunda época de colheita, enquanto as menores foram no tratamento Al3C4. O uso de 4 fileiras no canteiro influenciou significativamente as produções de total de raízes e de raízes comerciais grandes, tanto no cultivo solteiro como no consorciado. Para o produtor de almeirão, o consórcio foi economicamente viável somente na segunda colheita, com o tratamento Al4C3.
