Resumo
Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar o desenvolvimento de mudas de quatro cultivares de cafeeiro arábico, originadas de sementes de plantas submetidas aos níveis de adubação baixo, adequado e alto, em sistema hidropônico com argila expandida. Utilizou-se, para este experimento, sementes de quatro cultivares de cafeeiro arábico (Catuaí, Rubi, Icatu e Acaiá), submetidos a três níveis de adubação. Os níveis baixo e alto de adubação receberam, respectivamente, 0,4 e 1,4 vezes a recomendação feita para o nível adequado. Após a coleta e preparo, as sementes foram germinadas em papel "germitest" e depois de 30 dias foram transplantadas para tubetes de 120 ml preenchidos com substrato comercial. O sistema hidropônico empregado foi de subirrigação com argila expandida (cinasita) onde foram fixados os tubetes. Utilizou-se ainda o delineamento de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 4 X 3 com 4 repetições e 7 plantas úteis por parcela. Assim que as plantas atingiram 5 a 6 pares de folhas foi medida a altura de plantas, o peso de matéria seca das folhas, caule e sistema radicular. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Duncan. Observou-se que o nível de adubação das plantas matrizes pouco influenciou no crescimento e desenvolvimento das mudas de cafeeiro, no sistema hidropônico. O sistema hidropônico proposto promoveu bom desenvolvimento das respectivas mudas de cafeeiro.
The objective of this work was to evaluate the development of seedlings of four varieties of arabic coffee plant in hydroponic system with expanded clay. The seeds of the cultivars Catuaí, Rubi, Icatu e Acaiá were colected from plants submitted to three levels of fertilization. The low and high levels of fertilization received 0.4 and 1.4 times the recommendation done for the appropriate level, respectively. After the collection and preparation, the seeds were germinated in paper rolls and after 30 days they were transplanted to 120 ml containers filled out with commercial substratum. The nutritive solution was supplied to the channels with expanded clay by sub-irrigation. The experimental design was in randomized blocks in a 4 x 3 factorial scheme with 4 replications and 7 useful plants per plot. As soon as the plants reached 5 to 6 pairs of leaves the height of plants and dry matter weight of leaves, stems and root system were measured. The obtained results were submitted to the variance analysis and the averages were compared by the Duncan test. It was observed that the level of fertilization of the matrix plants had little influence upon growth and development of the coffee plant seedlings. The proposed hydroponic system promoted adequate development of the coffee plant seedlings.
