Study of water potential of plants under different production environments.

Study of water potential of plants under different production environments.

The present project studied the water potential of plants under different production environments using a Scholander Pressure Chamber to measure the water potential in leaves and Time-Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to take and determine volumetric water content (VWC %) as a methodology system. The main objective of this project was to analyze the water potential in crops such as citrus (Citrus), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), chili pepper (Capsicum annuum), and tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum) in order to obtain knowledge about water management in the context of the humid tropics. To conduct the process, plants from tropical crops were selected and marked to study the water potential from March 13th to May 5th in 2021. In addition, the water potential in “Centibar” was measured in citrus, cucumber, chili pepper, and tomato plants for different volumetric water content in soils. Finally, the water potential in the studied crops and their correlation with the soil humidity were analyzed. During the experiment, climatic limitations were sometimes encountered that affected the water potential field capacity time of taking data and also the germination of some plants as well as the academic year start of the project. The results showed that water potential in different plants responded differently and their correlations (R2), determined by using a linear equation, varied: citrus (0,005), cucumber (0, 670), chili pepper (0,737), and tomato (0,507).

El presente proyecto estudia el potencial hídrico de las plantas en diferentes entornos de producción utilizando la cámara de Scholander y el instrumento TDR para determinar el contenido volumétrico de agua (VWC%). El objetivo principal de este proyecto es analizar el potencial hídrico en cultivos como cítricos (Citrus), pepino (Cucumis sativus), chile (Capsicum annuum) y tomate (Solanum Lycopersicum) con el fin de adquirir conocimientos en el manejo del agua en el contexto de los trópicos húmedos. Para llevar a cabo el proceso, se seleccionaron y marcaron plantas de cultivos tropicales para estudiar el potencial hídrico entre los días 13 de marzo al 5 de mayo de 2021. El potencial hídrico fue medido en “Centibar” y a diferentes contenidos de agua volumétricos en suelos. Finalmente, se analizó el potencial hídrico en los cultivos estudiados y su correlación con la humedad del suelo. Durante el experimento, se encontraron en ocasiones limitaciones climáticas que afectaron la obtención de resultados de potencial hídrico: la capacidad de campo, el tiempo de toma de datos y también la germinación de algunas plantas, así como el inicio del año académico del proyecto. Los resultados finales muestran que el potencial hídrico en diferentes plantas respondió de manera diferente y sus correlaciones s en R2 usando ecuación lineal como modelo de ajuste fue de: Cítricos (0,005), pepino (0, 65), chile (0,737), y tomate (0,507).
