Doses of controlled-release fertilizer for production of rubber tree rootstocks

Doses de adubo de liberação lenta para produção de porta-enxertos de seringueira

Abstracts

This experimental study aimed to evaluate the effects of doses of controlled-release fertilizer (ALL) on the development of rubber tree rootstocks. The fertilizer used was Osmocote®, scheduled to be released for 8-9 months and with the following composition: N (15%), P2O5 (9%), K2O (12%), Mg (1%), S (2.3%), B (0.02%), Cu (0.05%), Fe (1%), Mn (0.06%), Mo (0.02%) and Zn (0.05%). A randomized block design was used, with four treatments and eight replicates of 20 plants per plot. The controlled-release fertilizer was added to Rendimax Floreira® substrate at doses of 0, 3, 6 and 9 g per liter, and rootstocks were produced in plastic containers with a capacity of two liters of substrate. Three seeds of clone GT 1 were scattered in each container and thinning was performed on day 60, leaving the most vigorous plant only. After the fourth leaf shot from each rootstock, the containers of each treatment were topped, due to compaction, with 300 mL of the relevant fertilizer and substrate mixture. The rootstocks were evaluated at eight months of age as to height, stem diameter (DC) 5 cm above root collar, total dry matter, shoot and root dry matter, leaf nutrient levels and percentage of plants suitable for grafting (DC>1.0 cm). Results revealed that adequate development and nutrition of rootstocks was achieved by using 6 g of controlled-release fertilizer per liter of substrate.

1 INTRODUCTION

Hevea brasiliensis (Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.) Müell. Arg., commonly known as rubber tree, is of major economic importance to Brazil and the world alike because its sap-like extract is the primary source of natural rubber. Rubber is used in the manufacture of tires and hundreds of artifacts used in various industry sectors, including health and electronic devices, domestic appliances and footwear, mining and steel industry, entertainment business and other activities (Sampaio Filho et al., 2006).

The demand for natural rubber has been increasing every year, and Brazil is the world's 5th largest consumer market (341,580 t) against a total output of 109,800 t (Gameiro, 2009). According to Cortez (2005) and Sampaio Filho et al. (2006), consumption of natural rubber in Brazil could reach 1 million tons by the year 2030. In order to become self-sufficient, Brazil will have to expand the existing area of rubber tree crops by about 50 thousand hectares a year (Sampaio Filho et al., 2006), requiring 25 million seedlings per year, which represents a bottleneck limiting crop expansion.

Typically, seedlings are produced in ground conditions using the soil as a substrate and plastic bags as containers, which are then furrow buried in delimited plots, requiring intensive use of labor in barely comfortable or productive working positions. As in this system containers are perforated, seedlings develop mainly on the outer part and thus become poorly rooted and susceptible to loss once grafted and pulled out of the container for field planting. In addition, this system involves a higher risk that weeds and nematodes present in the soil will be disseminated, potentially affecting the overall performance of the rubber tree crop (Pereira et al., 2007). To avoid such constraints, these authors proposed an alternative nursery system for production of rubber tree seedlings which is suspended 1 m above ground and consists of seedling tubes and light, porous commercial substrates composed of tree or coconut bark.

In the traditional method, rubber tree seedlings are fertilized with readily available sources that favor rapid uptake and leaching of nutrients, and which are thus less suitable for hanging seedlings produced in light, porous substrates and subject to daily irrigation.

A promising and increasingly popular alternative among nursery workers is use of controlled-release fertilizers consisting of fertilizer granules coated with an organic resin layer that regulates nutrient release. Water vapor penetrates the granules and dissolves nutrients, which are gradually released into the substrate as a function of current moisture and temperature, with higher temperatures favoring faster release for shorter periods (Scotts UK PGB, 2002). These fertilizers purport to meet the nutritional needs of plants while minimizing not only the use of soluble sources but also labor costs, nutrient waste and potential environmental pollution from nutrient leaching (Perin et al., 1999).

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different doses of a commercial formulation of controlled-release fertilizer on the development of rubber tree rootstocks.

2 MATERIAL AND METHODS

The experiment was conducted under field conditions in the municipality of Goiania/GO, at the unit Embrapa Technology Transfer - Goiania Business Office. According to Köppen classification, the local climate is Aw type and thus suitable for rubber tree crops according to agroclimatic zoning maps proposed by Camargo et al. (2003).

The experiment used a randomized block design with eight replicates of twenty plants per plot, and treatments consisted of 0, 3, 6 and 9 g doses of controlled-release fertilizer (ALL) per each liter of substrate prior to filling out containers. The fertilizer used was Osmocote®, scheduled to be released for 8 to 9 months and composed of: N (15%), P2O5 (9%), K2O (12%), Mg (1%), S (2.3%), B (0.02%), Cu (0.05%), Fe (1%), Mn (0.06%), Mo (0.02%) and Zn (0.05%). Once the fourth leaf of rootstocks matured, the containers of each treatment were topped, due to compaction, with 300 cm3 of the relevant initial fertilizer and substrate mixture.

The substrate used was Rendimax Floreira®, a compost of pine bark, peat and vermiculite having the following characteristics: moisture (47.8%), wet density (750.3 Kg/m3), dry density (392.2 Kg/m3), water holding capacity (144.9% w/w), pH (5.1), electrical conductivity (1.2 S/m), total porosity (80.2% v/v), nutrient content: N (9 g/Kg), P (0.9 g/Kg), K (2.6 g/Kg), Ca (7.4 g/Kg), Mg (11.1 g/Kg), S (1.7 g/Kg), Fe (8.2 g/Kg), B (15.2 mg/Kg), Cu (19.4 mg/Kg), Mn (127.0 mg/Kg), Zn (30.2 mg/Kg), organic carbon (295.7 g/Kg) and C/N ratio: 32.9.

For simulation of seedling production in hanging seedling tubes, 15 x 30 cm black plastic bags were used, with the bottom perforated and placed in plastic soft drink bottles with a capacity of 2 liters. The bottom part of each bottle was removed and bottles were then hung with the top side down 1 m high, on the supporting structure made from eucalyptus poles and fence wire, leaving 1.2 m spacing between double rows, according to Pereira et al. (2007).

Seed scattering consisted of three newly collected seeds of clone GT 1 per container, topped with around 200 mL of fine vermiculite. On day 60, thinning was performed to leave the most vigorous seedling in each container. Spray irrigation was used to start with, followed by drip irrigation so as to minimize nutrient leaching from the substrate.

Weed control was done manually and confined to the inside of the plastic bags due to use of the substrate. Eggs and larvae of hornworm mandarová (Erinnyis ello L.) were removed manually, and beetle vaquinha (Diabrotica speciosa) was controlled by spraying deltamethrin-based insecticide. No disease occurrence was detected in plants throughout the experimental period.

Effects of each treatment on the development of rubber tree rootstocks were evaluated after eight months, based on the following variables: plant height, stem diameter (DC) 5 cm above root collar, percentage of plants suitable for green grafting (DC > 1 cm) according to set standards for rubber seed and seedling production and commercialization (Brasil, 2009), total dry matter, shoot dry matter and root dry matter (an average of three specimens per each plot), and nutrient levels. Development-related data were submitted to analysis of variance and polynomial regression whenever significant effects were found.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Analysis of variance procedures (Table 1) revealed that varying doses of controlled-release fertilizer (ALL) had highly significant effects on rootstock development as to height, stem diameter, total dry matter, shoot dry matter and root dry matter.

The low coefficient values indicate effective experimental control that helps minimize errors. Significant growth responses from rootstocks to traditional chemical fertilization were observed by Coelho (1991), Marques (1990), Pereira et al. (1988) and Viégas (1985).

The assessed variables revealed a quadratic response to varying doses of controlled-release fertilizer (ALL), as is illustrated in Figures 1, 2 and 3. Maximum values of total dry matter, shoot dry matter and root dry matter were obtained using 6.4 g, 6.6 g, and 5.9 g doses respectively (Figure 3), while maximum values of plant height and stem diameter were obtained with 6.3 g and 6.2 g doses respectively (Figures 1 and 2).




The optimal doses found in this study are close to the 6g/L dose found for seedlings of other species, including seedlings of Cerrado fruits mangaba (Pereira et al., 2003a,b, 2006)), araticum and cagaita (Pereira; Pereira, 2007). Using the same Osmocote® formulation as in this study, yet with coffee seedlings, Barbizan et al. (2002) obtained maximum shoot development using 7.7 g/L to 9.1 g/L doses, and maximum root development using a 6.8 g/L dose. In a study with seedlings of mimosa-like angico-branco cultivated for 95 days, Brondani et al. (2008) found higher values of number of leaves, stem diameter and seedling dry matter using a 2 g/L dose, and a higher value of plant height using a 2.74 g/L dose of Osmocote® (14-14-14 of N-P2O5-K2O). This difference, however, may be due to differing species requirements and fertilizer sources.

The maximum values obtained in this work for different variables are compatible and, overall, higher than values found by other authors for ground-produced rubber tree seedlings (Pereira et al., 1988; ViÉgas, 1985) and container-produced seedlings (Coelho, 1991; Marques, 1990; Pereira, 1983; Reis, 1989, 1991; ViÉgas et al., 1992) using other fertilizer sources (traditional). The superior plant development found in this study, in comparison with results found by Reis (1989, 1991), is due to the larger volume of containers and, as a result, the increased availability of substrate, water and fertilizer, as well as the longer trial period.

Absence of fertilizer affected the development of rootstocks as plants failed to reach the minimum stem diameter at age eight months (1 cm) stipulated by Normative Standard no. 29 from the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Brasil, 2009), the department that sets standards for production and commercialization of rubber tree seedlings (Table 2).

The doses 3 g, 6 g and 9 g of controlled-release fertilizer per liter of substrate differed from each other as to the resulting plant development, yet they enabled producing rootstocks with larger stem diameter than the minimum standard as well as a high percentage of plants suitable for green grafting, close to 100% (Table 2).

Regardless of the fertilizer dose used, all plants sampled in the plot had a normal root system, with no twisted primary and secondary roots yet rich in tertiary and quaternary roots which helped obtain an aggregate, consolidated root block, with good prospects of successful planting.

With increasing doses of controlled-release fertilizer in the substrate, increased levels of N, P, K, Mg, S, Zn, Mn and Fe were found in leaves (Table 3).

The 3 g/L dose was found to limit plant development as it failed to suffice nutritionally, affecting plant quality and providing below-standard levels of N, P and K in comparison to reference values cited by Pereira and Pereira (1986), Raij and Cantarella (1997) and Shorrocks (1979). As a result, grafting procedures on deficient plants will also affect their development since growth is directly related to nutrient reserve in rootstocks.

The 6 g/L dose was found to promote fuller rootstock development and more suitable nutrition, providing adequate leaf nutrient levels according to the above authors. The 9 g/L dose, on the other hand, was found to be excessive, providing higher leaf nutrient levels (N, P, K, Mg, Zn, Mn and Fe) and yet poorer plant development.

The results of rootstock development obtained in this study indicate the feasibility of producing rubber tree seedlings in hanging containers with a capacity of two liters of substrate composed of pine bark, peat and vermiculite and using controlled-release fertilizer over 8 to 9 months, at a dose of 6 g/L, as suggested by Pereira et al. (2007).

4 CONCLUSIONS

Under the conditions of this work, it was concluded that nutrition procedures of rubber tree rootstocks can be done over 8 to 9 months using controlled-release fertilizer composed of N (15%), P2O5 (9%), K2O (12%), Mg (1%), S (2.3%), B (0.02%), Cu (0.05%), Fe (1%), Mn (0.06%), Mo (0.02%) and Zn (0.05%).

The 6 g/L dose was found to promote fuller plant development as to height, stem diameter, total dry matter, shoot dry matter and root dry matter, as well as better nutrition.

The 0 g/L, 3 g/L and 9 g/L doses were found to be unsuitable for rootstock nutrition.
