The Federal District (DF) of Brazil stands out on the national scene as the seventh unit of the federation in the production of strawberries, with productivity above the national average. Most producers in DF grow in a traditional system, in the soil. In the last few years, the activity has suffered from rising production costs, mainly from the ess...
Técnicas modernas e equipamentos de fertirrigação de hortaliças utilizadas no Brasil e no mundo.
Biofertilizers stimulate natural processes to increase and benefit nutrient absorption, abiotic stress tolerance and increased yield when applied to plants. The production of biofertilizers from organic residues is a sustainable way to reduce these materials through recycling. The aim of this work was to define the biofertilization management based...
Irrigation management in the production of melons in the Brazilian savannah region
Several agro-industrial, livestock, and food wastes can be recycled to create biofertilizers. This diversity of raw materials can result in nutritional imbalance and an increase in heavy metal content, which could make the final product unfeasible. Thus, the chemical characterization of the raw materials and their influence on the sustainable and s...
Tomato blossom-end rot is generally interpreted as a symptom of Ca2+ deficiency. There are assumptions and experimental evidence implicating ammonium (NH4+) in the occurrence of blossom-end rot. Some studies report a decline in the uptake of Ca2+ and NO3- as the NH4+ / NO3- ratio increases. The aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of nutr...
This study aimed to adapt a low-cost and easy methodology to determine and estimate soil moisture in irrigated cultivation of vegetables. For this purpose, soil samples were collected in the cultivation areas at Embrapa Hortaliças-DF and at Instituto Federal Goiano (IFGO) Morrinhos-GO campus in 2013. The samples were taken to the irrigation laborat...
Vegetable production systems are done normally with intense soil tillage causing a strong decline of soil quality. Use of conservation systems can be an alternative to recover this quality. In order to evaluate the effects of such systems on soil organic matter, an experiment has been conducted in randomized blocks design and factorial scheme 3 × 2...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de duas fontes de
fertilizantes potássicos, aplicadas em diferentes proporções no
desempenho agronômico do morangueiro. O ensaio foi realizado em
casa de vegetação, na área experimental da Embrapa Hortaliças, no
período de outono-inverno de 2011. Foi utilizada a cultivar Oso Grande
e os tratamentos con...
A temperatura do solo é variável importante para o desenvolvimento
de cultivos agrícolas. Com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da adoção de
sistemas conservacionistas de produção de brócolis (B. oleracea var.
italica) sobre a temperatura do solo, foi realizado um monitoramento
desta variável, durante 12 dias, em seis parcelas experimentais
submetidas...
The intensive nature of soil use in vegetable production areas has led to a
marked decrease in soil quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects
of adoption of soil management systems on vegetable production with regards to the
chemical properties of a Rhodic Ferralsol after five years and to evaluate the use of
the Principal Co...
A importância da sustentabilidade ambiental tem sido frequentemente
discutida e mostrada pelos mais diversos setores da sociedade. A
necessidade de buscar sistemas produtivos sustentáveis tem sido
reconhecida também na agricultura. Aspectos como a redução do
uso de insumos químicos, a adoção de sistemas que mantenham ou
aumentem a qualidade do solo...
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os teores de carbono orgânico total (COT) e das frações
granulométricas da matéria orgânica de um Latossolo Vermelho cultivado com hortaliças, sob diferentes
sistemas de manejo e de cultivo de plantas de cobertura. O experimento foi realizado por seis anos, em
delineamento de blocos ao caso, em arranjo fatorial...
Brazil is the largest tropical country in the world and, as such, there is a wide climatic and soil variability along its territory. Protected horticultural production is practiced from subtropical southern Brazil to the tropical northernmost regions, and although the reasons why protected agriculture is adopted may differ, sheltering vegetable cro...
The influence of individual (sprinkler – AS, drip – GO and furrow – SU) and conjugated (AS+GO and AS+SU) irrigation systems on the organic production of tomato cultivars (Couto, Nagai, Portinari and Dominador) was evaluated. The experiment was carried out during the winter-dry season conditions of the Cerrado region of Central Brazil. It was used a...
This study aimed to determine the effect of different irrigation in the production of pepper plants in a greenhouse, in the Central Plateau of Brazil. The experiment was conducted at the experimental station of Embrapa Vegetables, Distrito Federal, with planting carried out in February 2012. Were evaluated four irrigation levels depths determined b...

The effect of N:K relationship was evaluated when applied through fertigation, on two-spotted-spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, infestation and on the yield of two strawberry cultivars. Strawberry plants received weekly doses of N and K (g/plant) by drip irrigation: 0.27 and 0.13; 0.27 and 0.50; 0.27 and 0.76 and control (water+micronutrients). Fru...
O cultivo do morangueiro (Fragaria x ananassa) já pode ser conside-rado como tradicional e consolidado na região de Brasília-DF (Henz, 2010). Para essa cultura, o ácaro rajado, Tetranychus urticae (Koch, 1836) (Acari: Tetranychidae) é a principal pra-ga (Lopes et al., 2005). Em decorrência da alimentação de ninfas e adultos nas células do mesófilo...
Soils of tropical environments are exposed to the process of degradation when the natural ecosystems are converted to unsustainable agro-ecosystems. Soil compaction, which is part of that degradation process, is widely found in Brazilian cultivated areas, especially in the potato fields in which the intensive soil revolving operations promote the d...
The goal of present study was to evaluate the yield and quality of two cultivars of strawberry grown on soil mulches, in a greenhouse, with five different fertigation. The experiments were carried out in Embrapa, Brasilia, DF, and were set as a 5×2 factorial split block design with 4 replicates. The whole-plot treatments consisted of four different...
‘BRS Araguaia’ is a melon hybrid cultivar (Cucumis melo L.) of yellow group developed in the scope of the Melon Breeding Program of Embrapa in association with Emater-GO. The plants are large and have a vigorous growing and excellent foliage canopy. The fruits are elliptical, have length/width ratio about 1.25, the skin colour is dark yellow and th...

The objective of the project is to develop vegetable and fruit production systems in closed hydroponic systems under artificial lighting in a controlled environment.
Para se aprimorar o sistema semi-hidropônico de produção de pimentão para as condições do Distrito Federal, uma série de ensaios está sendo proposta que permita a avaliação de tipo de recipiente, tipo de substrato e composição de solução nutritiva sobre variáveis fisiológicas, fenológicas, de produção e de qualidade da produção da cultura do pimentão (Capsicum annuum). Concomitantemente será feita uma análise de custos e viabilidade econômica das práticas e tecnologias avaliadas. O conjunto destes resultados permitirá, por fim, a recomendação de um sistema de produção semi-hidropônico de pimentão adaptado às condições climáticas e ao perfil sócio-econômico do produtor desta região, o qual seja eficiente na utilização de nutrientes e água, produtivo e rentável.
