AVILA-ANGULO, María L. et al. Does fertilization hardening improve the morphometric and physiological characteristics of Pinus rudis Endl. seedlings?. Rev. Chapingo ser. cienc. for. ambient [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.1, pp.141-153. Epub 03-Mar-2021. ISSN 2007-4018. https://doi.org/10.5154/r.rchscfa.2019.04.031.
Introduction:
One strategy to improve plant quality is fertilization hardening, which promotes the accumulation of nutrients.
Objective:
To evaluate hardening in Pinus rudis Endl. plants with different levels of phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and soluble fertilizer (SF) in irrigation.
Materials and methods:
A completely randomized design was used to test levels 0, 50 and 100 % higher than the basic dose of P, K and SF (Peters Professional® 4-25-35 of N, P and K, respectively); the effect was measured in plant morphometry and nutrient content. An analysis of variance and mean separation was performed with Tukey’s test (P < 0.05). Changes in nutrient accumulation in plants were detected by graphical vector analysis.
Results and discussion:
Ten months after the hardening process, the seedlings had a root collar diameter of 4.8 to 5.5 mm, aerial dry weight of 4.2 to 4.4 g and root dry weight of 1.1 to 1.2 g. The doses of P, K and FS did not affect the morphometry of the plant, but did affect the concentration of nutrients. Vector analysis detected luxury nutrient consumption in the order P > N > K. The highest nutrient contents were achieved with SF at a level of 100 % above the basic dose (4-25-35).
Conclusion:
Hardening of P. rudis plants is possible through fertilization management. The process led to additional reserves in the foliage.
