Resumo
The pineapple cultivation (Ananas comosus (L.) Merril) has increased in the state of
Espírito Santo and has great potential to continue increasing, as it is well suited to
the soil and weather conditions. Therefore, producers should adopt agricultural
practices, including fertigation, which enhance the aspects of fruit quality, to
maximize marketing. Due to the above, this study aimed to evaluate the productivity
and fruit quality associated with the use of fertigation in São Mateus, northern
Espírito Santo. The experiment was conducted at the Experimental Farm of the
Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES), located in São Mateus - Espírito Santo
(ES). The experiment was designed in a randomized block design (DBC), with four
replicates per treatment. Accordingly, we developed two studies: the first study, was
concerning fertigation management alternatives: the control treatment was nonirrigated and non-fertirrigated parcels; irrigated treatment and non-fertirrigated;
weekly fertigation with increasing doses, at a rate of 10% nitrogen (N) and potassium
(K); fertigations held twice a week for nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) and treatment
which was carried out 33% of nitrogen fertilization (N) and potassium (K) at the
planting and the rest (67%) in weekly coverage fertigation. The second study,
evaluated different nitrogen subdivisions (N) and potassium (K) by fertigation,
comprised by: a control treatment (non-irrigated and non-fertigated); four subdivisions
of topdressing nitrogen fertigation in a total of (4, 7, 27 and 54 applications); four
subdivisions of topdressing potassium fertigation in a total of (4, 9, 35 and 70
applications) and an additional treatment (irrigated and non-fertirrigated). The
variables were: fruit mass with crown (kg), productivity (kg ha-1), crown mass (g),
crown length (cm), fruit length with crown (cm), uncrowned fruit length (cm), average
fruit diameter (mm), firmness (N), pulp percentage (%), soluble solids (SS), pH,
titratable acidity (AT) and relative (soluble solids/titratable acidity). Considering the
variables evaluated, the use of fertigation, the treatment which applied 67% of N
fertilizer and K weekly coverage, promoted the greatest length on uncrowned fruit.
The treatments (non-irrigated and non-fertirrigated) and (irrigated and nonfertirrigated) resulted in higher values of soluble solids. The subdivisions of nitrogen
fertilizers had no effect on fruit mass with crown and productivity, but the crown
length and the fruit median diameter were significantly affected. The subdivisions of
potassic fertilizers had significantly influence in the fruits mass with crown,
productivity, average fruit diameter and pH.
