Abstract

O solo é a base de qualquer ecossistema, incluindo agricultura e plantaçoes, pois conserva nutrientes e água para as raízes das plantas. Em lugares secos e semiáridos em todo o mundo, incluindo os Emirados Árabes Unidos, os solos arenosos säo comuns. Sua fertilidade é extremamente baixa e a produçâo é prejudicada por uma série de desafios agronómicos. Fontes de condicionador de solo, como bentonita e esterco de galinha, podem ser usadas para melhorar os atributos do solo arenoso pobre e, portanto, aumentar a produtividade do solo. De novembro de 2019 a março de 2020, foi realizado um experimento para investigar as taxas de crescimento de buganvílias após bentonita e esterco de galinha em solo arenoso retirado de Lehbab, Dubai. A buganvília foi avaliada quanto a altura da planta (cm), comprimento máximo do ramo primário (cm), número de folhas por planta, número de ramos secundários, peso da parte aérea (g), comprimento da raiz (cm), peso da raiz (g), razäo raiz/parte aérea, teores de clorofila e clorofila a' e b'. Neste experimento foi utilizado o delineamento inteiramente casualizado (DIC) com cinco tratamentos (10 repetiçoes por tratamento). De acordo com os resultados, as adiçoes de bentonita e esterco de galinha influenciam consideravelmente as propriedades produtivas do solo arenoso, conforme indicado pelo crescimento de buganvílias. Além disso, a pesquisa sugere que a buganvília pode ser plantada com eficiencia com 10% de bentonita e 15% de esterco de galinha aplicado em solo arenoso, resultando, assim, em plantas mais saudáveis em comparaçâo com outras alteraçoes.

Alternate abstract:

Soil is the base of any ecosystem since it conserves nutrients and water for plant roots including agriculture and plantations. In dry and semi-arid places across the world, including the UAE, sandy soils are common. Their fertility is extremely low, and production is hampered by a number of agronomic challenges. Soil conditioner sources like bentonite and chicken manure might be used to improve the poor sandy soil attributes and hence boost soil productivity. From November 2019 to March 2020, an experiment was conducted to investigate the growth rates of Bougainvillea following bentonite and chicken manure amendments to sandy soil taken from Lehbab, Dubai. Bougainvillea was evaluated for its plant height (cm), max length of primary branch (cm), the number of leaves per plant, number of secondary branches, shoot weight (g), root length (cm), root weight (g), root/shoot ratio, chlorophyll contents, and chlorophyll a' and b'. In this experiment, a complete randomized design (CRD) with five treatments was used (10 replications per treatment). According to the findings, bentonite and chicken manure additions considerably influence the productive properties of sandy soil, as indicated by Bougainvillea growth. Additionally, the research suggests that Bougainvillea may be efficiently planted with 10% bentonite and 15% chicken manure applied to sandy soil, resulting in the healthiest plants compared to other amendments.
