Estado nutricional e teor de glicosídeos cianogênicos em plantas de seringueira

Abstract

The presence of high cyanogenic glycosides concentrations may predispose plant to the tapping panel dryness (TPD). The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of nutritional status in formation of cyanogenic glycosides in rubber tree. Two experiments were carried out: a) clonal nursery with crow clones hybrids of Hevea pauciflora x H. guianensis var. Marginata (CPAA C 01) and H. rigidifolia (CPAA C 81); and b) nursery with H. brasiliensis. In clonal nursery, twenty three foliar samples were collected, while in nursery, the experiment was carried out using a completely randomized design in factorial scheme 2 x 4 with five replicates. Two nitrogen doses (0.8 and 1.6%, urea as source) and four manganese doses (0, 10, 50 and 100 mg kg -1, MnSO 4 as source) were used. Regardless of age and species of Hevea, only the N, chlorophyll and Mn concentrations showed relationship with the HCNp in young leaves. These variables should be used in future selection processes. At low N (0.8%) concentration, the Mn doses influenced the N, P, K, Ca, S, Fe and Mn uptake by rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) in the nursery condition.
