Cultivo em vaso de Oliveira (Olea europaea L.) ornamental

Abstract

SILVA, Jacqueline Barcelos Cultivation in olive (Olea europaea L.) ornamental vase 2017. 66p. Dissertation (Master Degree) – Post-Graduation Program in Agronomy. Federal University of Pelotas, Pelotas. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Olive’s potential (Arbequina) in a soilless cultivation system in order to focus its ornamental potential. This research was done in greenhouse, located in a town named Capão do Leão, which belongs to the Federal University of Pelotas. The experimental outlining was totally randomized and the evaluated factors chosen were kind of substrate, Vessel Volume, Cultivation days and the Conduction way. The substrates used were coconut fiber, S10- Beifort® and the coconut fiber mix + S10. For the vessel volumes were tested the volumes of five and nine liters. The cultivation days were 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 e 180. Two ways were embraced: only stem and two stems, which were evaluated in the days 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390 and 420. The evaluated variables were the number and the length of growths in centimeters, length of the aerial part, number of leaves and the dry and fresh mass of aerial part and of the root. The number of growth and its length as well as the length were monthly evaluated. The others were done after the end of the experiment. For the length analysis of aerial part, it was used a graduated ruler (cm), while the leaves counting were made manually. The substrate S10 in the 180 cultivation days was significant in the two volumes of the vessel, while the other substrates were developing themselves day-by-day, without overcoming the S10. For the conduction system, a single stem constituted the treatment and it showed a better result in the length as well as the number of the leaves. The substrate S10 in the nine liters vale and the conduction in single stem are more indicated for the olive growing with ornamental potential in the 180 days of cultivation.
