          Abstract

          Devido às poucas informações sobre as práticas de cultivo do capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus, DC.) objetivou-se avaliar o efeito de lâminas de irrigação sobre: a produção de biomassa, o rendimento e composição do óleo essencial. O experimento foi instalado em ambiente protegido para possibilitar o controle das lâminas de irrigação e avaliar a viabilidade para situações em que as condições climáticas normais sejam inadequadas. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos inteiramente casualizados com cinco tratamentos e três repetições. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância pelo tese F e as médias comparadas pelo teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Na etapa um, os tratamentos consistiram da aplicação de lâminas referentes a 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% da evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc), irrigando duas vezes por semana e de 100% da evapotranspiração da cultura (ETc), irrigando uma vez por semana, sendo denominados de T1, T2, T3, T4 e T5, respectivamente. Na etapa dois, os tratamentos consistiram da aplicação de lâminas referentes a 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% da ETc irrigando uma vez por semana e de 100% da ETc, irrigando a cada 14 dias, sendo denominados de T6, T7, T8, T9 e T10 respectivamente. O corte do capim-limão foi realizado após 60 dias do início dos tratamentos. Avaliou-se a altura de plantas, o número de perfilhos por touceira, a massa seca da parte aérea, o rendimento e a composição do óleo essencial. O T5, caracterizado por estresse hídrico e intervalo de irrigação moderado, foi o que apresentou a maior produção de matéria seca, maior produtividade do capim-limão e maior estimativa da produtividade de óleo essencial e maior concentração de citral, na primeira etapa. Na etapa dois, o T6, correspondente ao estresse hídrico crescente e acentuado, foi o que apresentou maior estimativa da produtividade de óleo essencial. De acordo com os resultados observados, não foi possível definir a melhor lâmina, porém, concluiu-se que uma única irrigação semanal, para as condições estudadas neste experimento promoveu o melhor resultado.

          The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of different irrigation depths on biomass production, yield and composition of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)essential oil, because of poor information on cultivation practices. The experiment was set up in a protected environment to control irrigation and also to evaluate situations in which the normal climatic conditions are inadequate. A complete randomized block design was incorporated with five treatments and three replications, and averages were compared using the Tukey's test at 5% probability. In phase one, the treatments consisted of irrigation depths relating to 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% of crop evapotranspiration (ETc), irrigating twice a week, and irrigating only once a week for a sample supplied with 100% of the crop evapotranspiration (ETc); these were labeled T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5, respectively. In phase two, the treatments consisted of depths of 50%, 75%, 100%, 125% of the ETc, irrigating once a week, and another with 100% of the ETc, irrigating every 14 days, which were denominated T6, T7, T8, T9 and T10, respectively. Harvest of the lemon grass was done after 60 days of treatment. Plant height, number of tillers per plant, dry mass of the shoots, yield and composition of essential oil were evaluated. Treatment T5, characterized by water stress and a moderate irrigation interval, presented the highest dry matter production, lemongrass productivity, estimate of essential oil productivity and concentration of citral in the first phase. In phase two of this work, T6,characterized by a sharp increaseof water stress, presented the greatest estimate of essential oil productivity. According to the results observed, we could not define an optimal irrigation depth; however, we concluded that a single irrigation per week for the conditions of this experiment provided the best result.

              Natural variation in the essential oil content of Melaleuca alternifolia Cheel (Myrtaceae).

              The composition and yield of oil in 615 trees representing the natural populations of Melaleuca alternifolia, or tea tree, was investigated. A sixth distinct oil chemotype was identified. Of the six chemotypes, one chemotype is dominated by terpinen-4-ol, one by 1,8-cineole, one by terpinolene and the remaining three chemotypes are all dominated by 1,8-cineole and differ in either terpinen-4-ol or terpinolene content. Whilst most chemotypes are present throughout the distribution range, a definite correspondence of oil types with geographic location was found. Terpinen-4-ol types predominate in and around the Bungawalbin basin in the Casino area of northern New South Wales (NSW), high 1,8-cineole types predominate toward the southern end of the distribution around Grafton and terpinolene types predominate in southern Queensland. Preliminary formulae have been developed to allow comparisons of oil data obtained by steam distillation with a static headspace gas chromatography method.
