Abstract
The yellow passion fruit is one of the most consumed in Brazil, and the cultivation of yellow passion fruit in a greenhouse is not a common activity, making it necessary to research on this condition, especially on irrigation. The work aimed to evaluate the effect of soil water tensions between 15 and 60 kPa on the qualitative behavior of passion fruit in natural and protected environment in the experimental area of Engineering, Federal University of Lavras-UFLA with randomized block design and four replications. The fruit harvest in greenhouse began on 06/28/2005 while harvesting fruit in natural environment began on 12/05/2005. The irrigation treatments were used offered significant effect between greenhouse and natural only to the diameter of the fruit. Based on this experiment it was concluded that in a protected environment was a possible early harvest for the period between harvests, the irrigation in greenhouse didn´t provide benefits in relation to the natural environment in aspects of fruit quality and protected cultivation is an alternative to fruit production with less physical damage than culturing in natural environment.
