Dry matter storage and absorption route of nutrients in guava seedlings "Pedro Sato"

This work aimed to determine the dry matter storage curve of seedlings and the absorptions of macro and micro nutrients of guava tree cultivar 'Pedro Sato'. It was used randomized design with three repetitions. Seven samples of guava plants cultivar 'Pedro Sato' were used in hydroponic growth in the greenhouse located at UNESP- Jaboticabal Campus, São Paulo State, Brazil. It was evaluated the samples of plants growing and the nutrients storage every 15 days, during 120 days after the transplanting. The seedlings of guava priorized the dry matter storage of leaves in relation of the stem and leaves. The guava seedlings presented high absorption of nutrients in the period of 60 and 90 days after the transplanting. The nutrients storage of the guava seedlings (whole plant) were of : 340; 44; 380; 173; 33; and 40 mg plant-1), respectively, for N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S and 743; 118; 5114; 2151; 566µg plant-1), respectively for B, Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn.
