Effect of organic matter and vermiculite on garlic yields

Effect of organic matter and vermiculite on garlic yields

The possible effects of vermiculite and different sources of organic matter on garlic (Allium sativum L.) yield and shell life were studied. GarIic cultivar Amarante was grown in 1980 and 1981 on a Dark-Red Latosol under Cerrado vegetation. Five treatments were utilized: check (no vermiculite and no organic matter), green manure with plowing-under of Crotalaria spectabilis, vermiculite, cattle manure and processed garbage. Shelf life during storage was evaluate by periodic weighing. In the first year weighing was done 60 days after harvest only, whereas in the second year weighing was performed 30, 60, 120 and 150 days after harvest. The profitability estimation used was the average return rate to capital employed in the treatment. As far as bulb yields and profitability were concerned, the best treatments on a two-year basis were processed garbage and cattle manure. The best period for garlic sales were the months of January and February (3rd and 4th weighings).

Foram avaliados os efeitos de diferentes fontes de matéria orgânica e vermiculita, sobre a produção e conservação do alho (Allium sativum L.) no armazenamento. A cultivar de alho Amarante foi produzida em Latossolo Vermelho-Escuro (LE), sob vegetação de cerrado, nos anos de 1980 e 1981. Foram utilizados cinco tratamentos: testemunha (sem incorporação de vermiculita ou de matéria orgânica), adubação verde com incorporação de Crotalaria spectabilis, vermiculita, esterco de curral e lixo industrializado. A conservação durante o armazenamento foi avaliada por meio de pesagens periódicas. No primeiro ano, efetuou-se apenas uma pesagem, aos 60 dias após a colheita; e no segundo, quatro pesagens: aos 30, 60, 120 e 150 dias. O indicador de rentabilidade usado foi a taxa média de retorno do capital empregado no tratamento. Em termos de produção de bulbos e rentabilidade, os melhores tratamentos foram o lixo industrializado e o esterco de curral, nos dois anos. A melhor época de venda do alho foi nos meses de janeiro e fevereiro (terceira e quarta pesagem).
