O Estado do Tocantins vem a cada dia recebendo mais investimentos públicos e privados para desenvolvimento da agricultura irrigada. Esse crescimento não está sendo acompanhado com o desenvolvimento suficiente de pesquisas e difusão de técnicas aplicáveis para irrigação nessa região. Esse trabalho é um experimento no município de Porto Nacional, região central do Estado do Tocantins, com o cultivo de meloeiros irrigados sob diferentes intensidades e freqüências. Foram aplicadas três lâminas diárias: uma calculada cientificamente, outra aplicando métodos usuais praticados na região e outra com métodos usuais menos 10%. Todas as doses foram aplicadas de duas maneiras: aplicação diária única da dose e aplicação dessa mesma dose fracionada em duas aplicações ao dia. O experimento demonstrou que a quantidade de água aplicada tradicionalmente pelos irrigantes da região é aproximadamente 75 % e 95% maior do que a calculada pelo método de Penman-Monteith. Esta aplicação tradicional, em comparação com a dose determinada a partir do cálculo da evapotranspiração, não melhora os resultados obtidos nas lavouras quanto a: produtividade, brix, comprimento dos frutos, perímetro dos frutos, peso dos frutos, espessura da polpa e número de frutos descartados e que o fracionamento da dose diária em duas aplicações, uma pela manhã e outra à tarde, melhora a produtividade e aumenta a espessura da polpa, ambas características de interesse geral de produtores. / The state of Tocantins is every day getting more public and private investments for development of irrigated agriculture. This growth is not accompanied with sufficient development of researching and dissemination of technical requirements for irrigation in this region. This work is an experiment in Porto Nacional, the central region of Tocantins State, with the irrigated cultivation of melon under different intensities and frequencies. We applied three doses daily: a scientifically calculated, another applying the usual methods applied in the region and the other with the usual methods 10%. All doses were applied in two ways: application of a single daily dose and application of the same dose split in two applications a day. The experiment showed that the amount of water applied traditionally by irrigators in the region is approximately 75% and 95% higher than that calculated by the Penman-Monteith. This traditional application, compared with the dose determined from the calculation of evapotranspiration, does not improve the results in crops as the yield, brix, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight, flesh thickness and fruit number discarded and the fractioning of the daily dose into two applications, one in the morning and afternoon, improves productivity and increases the thickness of the pulp, both features of interest of farmers.

Assim, o presente trabalho foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos de diferentes manejos de irrigação na videira de vinho cv. Syrah/1103P, no comportamento ecofisiológico da cultura e em seus aspectos quantitativos e qualitativos da produção de uvas. O experimento foi conduzido na Embrapa Semiárido, em Petrolina – PE, durante o primeiro ciclo de produção da cultura (13 de abril a 6 de agosto de 2010). O espaçamento da cultura foi de 3m entre linhas de plantas e 1 m entre plantas. O sistema de irrigação utilizado foi o de gotejamento, com emissores espaçados a 0,5 m na linha de plantio com vazão de 2,5 Lh-1. O delineamento estatístico foi o de blocos casualizados, com 4 repetições e 3 tratamentos: irrigação plena (IP) – irrigação durante todo o ciclo da cultura; irrigação deficitária (ID) – interrupção da irrigação a partir dos 45 dias após a poda de produção (dapp) até a colheita; e irrigação com déficit controlado (IDC) – interrupção da irrigação aos 45 dapp e irrigações eventuais para o aumento da umidade do solo na profundidade efetiva do sistema radicular (0,6 m). O manejo da irrigação foi baseado na evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc) estimada pela relação entre a evapotranspiração de referência (ETo) e coeficientes da cultura (Kc). A partir de 45 dapp e até a colheita (115 dapp), a umidade do solo até a profundidade de 1,20 m foi menor nos tratamentos IDC e ID em relação ao tratamento IP / Irrigation is important practice in the fruit crop growing in the Brazilian Semiarid region, due to low magnitude raintall, with irregular time distribuition, which is not enough to supply water demand by plants. Hence, a research work was designed to evoluate the effects of different irrigation schedulings on wine grapevine, particularly on plant ecophysiological behavior and yield. The experiment was carried out at Embrapa Tropical Semi-Arid, in Petrolina, State of Pernambuco, Brazil, during the first crop growing season (April 13 to August 6, 2010) of grapevine cv. Syrah grafted on Paulsen 1103 rootstock, planted on grid spacing of 3 m between rows and 1m between plants. Drip irrigation system was used with 2.5 L.h-1 flow emitter spaced in 0.5 m. The experiment was designed in randomized blocks, with 4 replications and 3 irrigation treatments: full irrigation (FI) - irrigation throuhgtout the entire growing season; deficit irrigation (DI) - water application interrupted since 45 days after pruning (dap) until harvest; e regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) - irrigation interrupted since 45 dapp but occasionally performed to increase soil water storage in the effective root zone (0,6 m depth). Irrigation scheduling was performed based on crop evapotranspiration (ETc), which was estinated by the relationship between reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and crop coefficients (Kc). Soil water content at 1.2 m depth from 45 dap to 115 dap (harvest), was lower in DI and RDI treatments, when compared with FI treatment. Higher pre-daw leaf water potential values were found in RDI treatment at 56 dap (-4.2 MPa), and in DI treatment at 99 dap (-5 MPa)

Este trabalho de pesquisa apresenta uma nova abordagem para calibrar uma sonda helicoidal TDR, usada para medir o teor de umidade do solo. Foi empregada uma aproximação tomando em consideração a interpretação física dos valores de constantes dielétricas. As equações de calibração foram determinadas mediante um modelo dielétrico misto, quais relacionam a constante dielétrica da mistura multifase com a constante dielétrica e frações de volumes dessas componentes. Ensaios realizados em laboratório permitirem o desenvolvimento de duas equações de calibração para a avaliação de teor de umidade volumétrico e gravimétrico dos solos. A calibração foi executada com medições de constante dielétrica em diferentes líquidos e solos, usando uma sonda convencional TDR e a sonda helicoidal TDR. As leituras realizadas com as duas sondas foram depois comparadas. O modelo dielétrico das duas fases permitiu descrever a contribuição dos materiais dielétricos do corpo da sonda helicoidal e os materiais investigados. Mostrou-se que o conhecimento das características físicas e geométricas da sonda TDR usada nos ensaios é de crucial para garantir a qualidade das constantes dielétricas lidas, e conseqüentemente a determinação do teor de umidade in situ. / The objective of this work was to calibrate a coiled TDR probe used to measure the water content of soil. It was used an approach that takes into account a physical interpretation of the values of the dielectric constants. The calibration equations were determined by means of a mixed dielectric model, which relates the dielectric constant of a multi-phase mixture with the dielectric constants and volume fractions of its components. Tests carried out in the laboratory allowed development of two calibration equations for the assessment of the volumetric and gravimetric soil water content. Calibration was performed with measurements of dielectric constants in different liquids and soils, using a conventional TDR probe and a coiled TDR. The readings performed with the two probes were then compared. The dielectric model of two phases permitted describing the contribution of the dielectric material of the body of the probe coil and the materials investigated. It has been shown that knowledge of the physical and geometrical characteristics of the TDR probe used in the tests is crucial for the quality of the dielectric constant readings, and consequently the determination of water content in situ.

Para superar essa condição as plantas adaptam a si mesmas para alocarem biomassa adicional a órgãos onde os recursos são limitantes. Alguns desses órgãos são as raízes finas, raízes responsáveis pela absorção de água e nutrientes do solo. Elas representam um elevado custo de produção para as plantas, mas importante fonte de carbono para o solo. Devido as variações na disponibilidade de recursos influenciarem o estoque e a produção de raízes finas, as expectativas foram de que: i) o estoque e a produção anual de raízes finas aumentariam com a elevação da altitude; ii) a produção de raízes finas seria maior nos períodos de menor umidade; iii) haveria maior biomassa de raiz fina na porção superficial do solo (0-10 cm); iv) o uso de menores tempos de coleta em porções de solo pequenas não afetaria a acurácia do método escolhido. Para testar essas suposições, foram selecionados cinco hectares de Floresta Atlântica conservada. As informações sobre estrutura, composição florística e características do solo foram obtidas de estudos prévios. Em cada um desses hectares, foram instalados 16 coletores para o monitoramento da produção trimestral de raízes finas. O menor estoque e produção total de raízes finas foi encontrado na Floresta Ombrófila Densa Submontana e o maior na Floresta Ombrófila Densa Montana. Os períodos das maiores produções coincidiram com os das maiores temperaturas e precipitações acumuladas e a maior biomassa de raízes finas foi observada na camada de 0-10 cm. A adaptação do método não influenciou significativamente na amostragem das raízes finas. A variável que mais explicou a produção anual foi o conteúdo de água no solo. Com base De acordo com tais resultados, a conclusão foi que as variações climáticas ao longo do gradiente altitudinal não determinaram diretamente o estoque de raízes finas, mas as variações sazonais influenciaram na produção. Quaisquer alterações que venham a ocorrer nas taxas de precipitação, poderão assim, desencadear mudanças significativas na maneira como a Floresta Atlântica aloca carbono, investindo mais em raízes finas do que nos demais órgãos / Abstract: Tropical forests are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems on the planet, however they occur in poor soils. To overcome this condition plants adapt themselves allocating additional biomass to organs where resources are limiting. Some of these organs are the fine roots, roots responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. They represent a high cost of production to the plants, but at the same time, they are an important source of carbon to the soil. Variations in the resources available can influence stock and production of fine roots and because of that, the expectation was that: i) fine root stock and annual production would increase with elevation; ii) fine roots production would be higher in periods of lower moisture; iii) a higher fine roots biomass would be found in the superficial soil layer (0-10 cm); iv) the use of a short time of sampling in smaller soil portions should not affect the accuracy of the chosen method. To test these hypotheses five plots located in Atlantic Forest along an elevation gradient were selected. The information about the forest structure, floristic composition and soil traits were known from previous studies. Each individual plot had 16 ingrowth cores were installed to monitor the quarterly production of fine roots. Submontane Forest had the smallest stock and annual production of fine roots, while Montane Forest had the highest ones. Periods of higher production coincide with higher temperatures and accumulated rainfall. The first layer of soil, from zero to 10 cm, had the highest fine roots biomass. The method adaptation did not significantly influence the fine roots sampling. The soil water content was the variable which best explained annual production. According to the research results, the conclusion achieved was that the fine roots stock is not directly influenced by climatic variation over elevation, but the seasonal variation influenced the fine roots production. Any possible changes in precipitation rates, may thus trigger significant changes in the way that Atlantic Forest allocates carbon, investing more in fine roots that in other organs / Mestrado / Biologia Vegetal / Mestra em Biologia Vegetal

Thesis (MScAgric)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of crop rotation and soil tillage on the soil water balance and water use efficiency of wheat, canola, lupin and medics in the Swartland sub region of the Western Cape. This trail was conducted as a component study within a long-term crop rotation/tillage trial during 2012 and 2013 at the Langgewens Research Farm (33016’42.33” S; 18042’11.62” E; 191m) of the Western Cape Department of Agriculture near Moorreesburg. The experiment was laid out as a randomized complete block, with a split-plot treatment design and replicated four times. Three crop rotation systems, continues wheat (WWWW), wheat/medic/wheat/medic (WMcWMc) and wheat/canola/wheat/lupin (WCWL) were allocated to main plots. . Each main plot was subdivided into four sub-plots allocated to four tillage treatments namely: zero-till (soil left undisturbed and planted with zero-till planter), no-till (soil left undisturbed until planting and then planted with a tined no-till planter), minimum-till (soil scarified March/April and then planted with a no-till planter) and conventional tillage (soil scarified late March/early April, then ploughed and planted with a no-till planter). All straw, chaff and stubble remained on the soil surface and no-grazing was allowed on all tillage treatments. Three replicates were included in this current study. Only the no-till (NT) and conventional till (CT) were included in this current study as main tillage treatments. The volumetric soil water content was monitored at weekly intervals during the active growing season (May-October) and once a month during the fallow period (November-April) using a Diviner 2000 soil moisture meter. The Diviner 2000 was used to record the soil water content at every 100 mm depth increment up to the maximum depth of the profile. At the end of the growing season the total biomass, grain yield and quality parameters were determined. The soil water balance data calculated from the 2012 season were found to be inconclusive due to too shallow installation of soil water monitoring tubes and big variations in the depth complicating any attempt in comparing data from treatments and cropping systems. Soil water monitoring tubes was installed to a depth of 900 mm in the 2013 season. Complications during planting in the 2013 season resulted in very poor emergence in the CT sites. Weed counts revealed that only 38 % of CT sites were covered by crop, 31 % with weeds and 31 % were completely bare. The NT sites had 40 % crop coverage, 50.5 % grass weed coverage and only 9.5% bare surface. As a consequences crop rotation had no effect on the soil water balance, while the tillage treatments showed a response. The effect that tillage had on the soil water balance was clearly shown in the 2013 season, in which 79 mm more rainfall occurred than the long-term average. NT retained more soil water in the profile in the drier first half of the season when only 30 % of the total rainfall in the 2013 season occurred. There was no real difference in the soil water retention in the second half of the season where 70 % of the total rainfall in the 2013 season occurred. Crop rotation did have a positive effect on grain yield. Wheat monoculture was out performed by legume based cropping systems. This trend was also observed in the biomass production. No significant difference between tillage treatments were recorded when comparing grain yield data. However wheat mono culture was again out-performed by the McWMcW, CWLW and LWCW systems producing on average significantly higher biomass. The data from both seasons suggest that in seasons where more rainfall than the long term average occurs, there is no difference in the RUE between cropping systems or tillage practices.. This study highlighted the major effect that the prevailing weather conditions have and that the expected advantages associated with NT most likely only come into play in dry conditions when plant water availability is limited. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie was om die invloed van grondbewerking en gewasproduksiestelsels op die grondwaterbalans en doeltreffendheid van watergebruik te ondersoek in die koringproduserende gebied van Malmesbury. Hierdie eksperiment is uitgevoer as 'n komponentstudie binne 'n langtermyn grondbewerking/gewasrotasieproef gedurende 2012 en 2013 op die Langgewens Navorsingsplaas (33016'42 .33 'S; 18042'11 0,62' E, 191m) van die Wes-Kaapse Departement van Landbou naby Moorreesburg. Die eksperiment is uitgelê as 'n volledige ewekansige blok, met 'n gesplete perseel behandelingsontwerp met vier herhalings. Drie gewasproduksiestelsels naamlik, koring monokultuur (WWWW), koring/medic/koring/medic (WMcWMc) en koring/canola/ koring/lupiene (WKWL) is elk toegeken aan persele en vier keer herhaal. Elke hoofperseel is onderverdeel in vier subpersele en bewerkingsbehandelings is soos volg toegeken: Konvensionele bewerking (CT) - grond gebreek in Maart/April, en daarna geploeg en geplant met geen bewerkingsplanter. Minimum bewerking (MT) - grond gebreek in Maart/April en daarna geplant met 'n geen bewerkingsplanter. Geen bewerking (NT) - grond is heeltemal onversteur gelaat tot planttyd en daarna geplant met 'n geen bewerkingsplanter. Zero bewerking (ZT) - grond tot planttyd met rus gelaat en dan geplant met 'n sterwielplanter. Alle strooi, kaf en stoppels het op die grondoppervlak gebly en geen beweiding is toegelaat nie. Slegs drie herhalings is ingesluit in die huidige studie en slegs die geen bewerking (NT) en konvensionele bewerking (CT) is in die huidige studie as hoof bewerkingbehandelings ingesluit. Die volumetriese grondwaterinhoud is weekliks gemonitor tydens die aktiewe groeiseisoen (Mei - Oktober) en een keer 'n maand gedurende die braaktydperk (November - April) met behulp van 'n Diviner 2000 grondvogmeter. Die Diviner 2000 is gebruik om die grondwaterinhoud by elke 100 mm diepte tot die maksimum diepte van die profiel te bepaal. Aan die einde van die seisoen is die totale biomassa, graanopbrengs en kwaliteitparameters bepaal. Die data vir grondwaterbalans van die 2012-seisoen is buite rekening gelaat weens te vlak installering van moniteringsbuise en groot variasie in die dieptelesings wat enige poging om vergelykende data van rotasie en behandelings te verkry, bemoeilik het. Moniteringsbuise vir grondwater is geïnstalleer tot op 'n diepte van 900 mm in die 2013-seisoen. Komplikasies tydens die plantaksie in die 2013-seisoen het gelei tot 'n baie swak opkoms in die CT-persele. Slegs 38 % van die CT-persele was bedek deur die gewas en 31 % met onkruid, terwyl 31 % van die oppervlak onder CT-behandeling heeltemal kaal was. Die NT-persele het 40 % gewasbedekking, 50.5 % grasbedekking en slegs 9.5 % kaal oppervlak gehad. Dit het die poging, om die effek van wisselboustelsels op die grondwaterbalans, in die wiele gery. Alhoewel wisselbou skynbaar geen effek op die grondwaterbalans gehad het nie, het die tipe bewerking egter wel ‘n effek gehad. Die effek van grondbewerking op die grondwaterbalans het duidelik na vore gekom in die 2013-seisoen. In hierdie seisoen het 79 mm meer reën geval as die langtermyngemiddelde. Geen bewerking het meer grondwater in die droër eerste helfte van die seisoen in die profiel behou, toe slegs 30% van die totale reënval in die 2013 geval het. Daar was geen beduidende verskil in die grondwaterretensie in die tweede helfte van die seisoen toe 70% van die totale reënval in die 2013 geval het nie. Wisselbou het egter 'n positiewe uitwerking op die graanopbrengs gehad. Koring monokultuur is in opbrengsyfers geklop deur stelsels met peulplante as komponent. Hierdie tendens is ook waargeneem in die biomassaproduksie. Bewerkingsbehandelings het geen beduidende verskil in graanopbrengste tot gevolg gehad nie, hoewel die biomassaproduksie van koring monokultuur weer geklop is deur die McWMcW-, CWLW- en LWCW-stelsels. Die data van beide seisoene dui daarop dat in seisoene waar meer reën as die langtermyn gemiddelde voorkom, daar geen verskil in die RUE tussen verbouingstelsels of bewerkingspraktykes was nie. Hierdie studie beklemtoon die groot invloed wat die heersende klimaat speel en dat die verwagte voordele wat verband hou met NT waarskynlik slegs ‘n rol speel in droër jare.

En région méditerranéen, les incendies de forêt sont un problème majeur vis-à-vis de la désertification du milieu. L'utilisation de composts est considérée comme une solution pour la régénération du sol et de la végétation.Tout d'abord, en laboratoire, les effets de trois types de compost et de leur mode d'application ont été testés : un compost de déchets verts (DV), un compost de boues de station d'épuration (B) et un compost d'ordures ménagères résiduelles (OMR). Les différents paramètres du sol ont été améliorés de façon plus importante par le compost OMR (le moins mature) alors que le compost DV (le plus mature) n'a que peu d'effet par rapport au contrôle. De plus, lorsque le compost est enfoui dans le sol, la réduction du ruissellement est faible alors qu'appliqué en surface, elle est importante et favorise la percolation et la rétention principalement avec le compost OMR. Lors d'une expérimentation in situ, l'évolution du sol et de la végétation a été étudiée après un apport de compost de boues de station d'épuration. Lors des premiers mois, une hausse de la biomasse des espèces herbacées a été observée. Bien qu'aucun effet n'ait été observé pour les autres espèces, la phytomasse était plus hétérogène sur les parcelles amendées alors que la biodiversité y était plus homogène. Un transfert rapide et durable d'éléments nutritifs du compost vers le sol a été observé ainsi qu'une hausse de la teneur en eau du sol des parcelles amendées. Les teneurs en nutriments des plantes augmentent aussi mais varient selon l'espèce et l'élément considérés. De plus, aucun effet négatif n'a été observé quant aux teneurs en éléments traces métalliques du sol et des végétaux. / In Mediterranean region, forest fires are a major problem leading to the desertification of the environment. Use of composts is considered as a solution for soil and vegetation rehabilitation.First, we observed the effects of three urban composts and their mode of application (laid on the soil surface or mixed into the soil) on soil restoration after fire: a municipal waste compost (MWC), a compost of sewage sludge (SSC) and a green waste compost (GWC) under laboratory conditions. Input of composts increased organic matter and soil nutrient content, and enhanced carbon and nitrogen mineralisation and total microbial biomass throughout the incubations. MWC induced the highest improvement while GWC input had no significant effect compared to the control. Composts mixed with soil weakly limited runoff whereas composts laid at the soil surface significantly reduced runoff and increased percolation and retention, particularly with the MWC.Then, we studied in situ the effects of a SSC on soil and vegetation regeneration after fire. The first months after amendment, this input increased grass species biomass. Although no significant effect was observed on other studied plants, plant biomass was more heterogeneous on amended plots while plant biodiversity was more homogeneous. The use of compost increased rapidly soil nutrient content and soil water content but plant nutrition was improved more or less durably depending species. Compost effects on microbial activities were low and only sporadic. Moreover, no negative effect was observed during the two years of experimentation.

The experiment was let vegetation home, being cultivated the plants in vases of 12 liters during 255 days. The adopted experimental design was randomized entirely, mounted in outline of subdivided portions, with three repetitions for each soil. The growth evaluations were achieved each 60 days and the analyzed data by the surface technique of answering. The tenor of soil humidity in the field capacity varies with the adopted tension in its determination. The growth of the coffee plant conilon in WD 0% was higher to the obtained in the water deficits of 33% and 67% of OR and URY. The largest growth of the culture was observed in FC2 of OR and in FC1 of URY. The smallest growth was obtained in the water deficits of the certain field capacity in the tension of 0,033 MPa (FC3) of OR and URY, what unfeasible its adoption in the estimate of the irrigation sheet, being used the camera of pressure of Richards. The x leaf water potential anti-morning (Ψam) showed to be a good indicator of the degree of hydration of the plants. The largest hydration to foliate was observed in WD 0%, being in CC2 for OR (Ψam = -0,17 MPa), being the water kept by the soil to a potential matric (Ψm) of -0,010 MPa and in CC1 for URY (Ψam = -0,33 MPa), which Ψm was the -0,006 MPa. To smallest hydration happened in WD 67% and in the FC3, also for OR (Ψam = -0,68 MPa) as for URY (Ψam = -1,3 MPa), being the water kept of Ψm of -0,20 MPa, for both soils. In WD 33% and WD 67% in the levels of the capacity of field of OR and URY, they were verified a reduction in the values leaf area, height and diameter of the stem of the plants. The accumulation of total dry matter and leaf water potential anti-morning observed in OR were superior to the of URY, in all of the levels of the field capacity and water deficits, resulting in the larger initial growth of the coffee plant conilon in this soil. / O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da umidade do solo na capacidade de campo determinada nas tensões de 0,006 MPa (CC1), 0,010 MPa (CC2) e 0,033 MPa (CC3) e de diferentes níveis de déficits hídricos (DH 0%, DH 33% e DH 67%), no crescimento inicial do cafeeiro conilon e no potencial hídrico foliar medido na antemanhã, em um Latossolo Vermelho-Amarelo (LV) e Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo (PVA). O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetação, cultivando-se as plantas em vasos de 12 litros durante 255 dias. O delineamento experimental adotado foi inteiramente casualizado, distribuído em esquema de parcelas subdivididas, com três repetições para cada solo. As avaliações de crescimento foram realizadas a cada 60 dias e os dados analisados pela técnica de superfície de resposta. O teor de umidade do solo na capacidade de campo varia com a tensão adotada em sua determinação. O crescimento do cafeeiro conilon em DH 0% foi superior aos obtidos nos déficits hídricos de 33% e 67% do LV e do PVA. O maior crescimento da cultura foi observado na CC2 do LV e na CC1 do PVA. O menor crescimento foi obtido nos déficits hídricos da capacidade de campo determinada na tensão de 0,003 MPa (CC3) do LV e do PVA, o que inviabiliza a sua viii adoção na estimativa da lâmina de irrigação, utilizando-se a câmara de pressão de Richards. O potencial hídrico foliar antemanhã (Ψam) mostrou-se bom indicador do grau de hidratação das plantas. A maior hidratação foliar foi observada em DH 0%, sendo para o LV na CC2 (Ψam= -0,17 MPa), estando a água retida pelo solo a um potencial matricial (Ψm) de -0,010 MPa, e para o PVA na CC1 (Ψam = -0,33 MPa), cujo Ψm foi de -0,006 MPa. A menor hidratação ocorreu em DH 67% na CC3 tanto para o LV (Ψam = -0,68 MPa) como para o PVA (Ψam = -1,30 MPa), estando a água retida a um Ψm de -0,20 MPa, para ambos os solos. Em DH 33% e DH 67% nos níveis de capacidade de campo do LV e do PVA, foram verificadas reduções nos valores da área foliar, altura e diâmetro do caule das plantas. O acúmulo de matéria seca total e potencial hídrico foliar antemanhã observados no LV foram superiores aos do PVA, em todos os níveis de capacidade de campo e déficits hídricos, resultando em maior crescimento inicial do cafeeiro conilon, neste solo.
