Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentration and accumulation by black beans under several irrigation levels

摘要

This study was carried out with the objective to determine NPK concentration and accumulation of black beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L., BR Ipagro 1 "macanudo" varie ty) cultivated under different sprinkling irrigation levels. The three irrigation levels were: without irrigation (Wl), irrigation when matric potential reached 80kPa (I-80kPa) and 40kPa (I-40kPa). The results of the flowering sampling indicated that the N concentration (3.72%) was not affected by irrigation levels. Leaf concentration of P in the leaves were different between WI (0.23%) and the irrigated treatments (0.30%). In the maturity stage the N grains concentration changed with irrigation and presented average values of 3.47%. However. P (0.54%) and K (0.89%) grains concentrations were similar. The whole amount of NPK accumulated was different for WI and irrigated treatments. The average values of 62.4 and 123.8kg of N/ha, 8 and 18.8kg of P/ha and 23.7 and 50.7kg of K/ha, were observed for WI and irrigated treatments, respectively.
