          Abstract

          O índice SPAD para o diagnóstico do estado de nitrogênio das culturas tem sido muito estudado nos últimos anos. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o emprego do índice SPAD para o diagnóstico do estado de nitrogênio na cultura do pepino japonês (híbrido Taisho) em ambiente protegido. O experimento foi conduzido no delineamento em blocos casualizados, em esquema fatorial 2x5, constituído de duas fontes (sulfato de amônio e nitrato de amônio) e cinco doses (0; 75; 150; 300 e 600 kg ha-1) de nitrogênio, com quatro repetições. No início do florescimento, o teor de clorofila total, índice SPAD e teor de nitrogênio foram determinados na quarta folha completamente expandida, a partir do ápice das plantas. Não foram verificados efeitos significativos de fontes e da interação entre fontes e doses de nitrogênio sobre as características avaliadas. Entretanto, o teor de clorofila total, índice SPAD e teor de nitrogênio aumentaram de forma quadrática em função das doses de nitrogênio. Os níveis críticos foliares estimados de teor de clorofila total, índice SPAD e teor de nitrogênio responsáveis pela máxima produtividade da cultura do pepino japonês foram de 6,01 mg g-1 de matéria fresca, 52,33 unidades SPAD e 4,78 dag kg-1 de matéria seca, respectivamente. Houve correlação linear e positiva das características avaliadas entre si. O índice SPAD, determinado no início da fase reprodutiva, pode ser usado no diagnóstico do estado de nitrogênio da cultura do pepino japonês.

          The employment of SPAD index for N status diagnosis of crops has been largely studied in recent years. Our objective was to evaluate the employment of SPAD index for nitrogen status diagnosis of Japanese cucumber plants (Taisho hybrid) under protected cultivation. The randomized block design was used, arranged in a 2x5 factorial design, with two nitrogen sources (ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate) and five nitrogen doses (0; 75; 150; 300 and 600 kg ha-1), with four replications. At the early flowering stage, total chlorophyll concentration, SPAD index and total nitrogen concentration in the fourth fully expanded leaf from the apex of Japanese cucumber plants were evaluated. No significant effects of nitrogen sources and of the interaction between nitrogen sources and nitrogen doses were found under the evaluated characteristics. However, total chlorophyll concentration, SPAD index and total nitrogen concentration in Japanese cucumber leaves increased following a quadratic model depending on the nitrogen doses. The estimated critical levels of total chlorophyll concentration, SPAD index and total nitrogen concentration on Japanese cucumber (Taisho hybrid) leaves responsible for the highest fruit yield were 6.01 mg g-1 of fresh matter, 52.33 units and 4.78 dag kg-1 of dry matter, respectively. Significant linear and positive correlation between the evaluated characteristics were observed. The SPAD index can be used for nitrogen status diagnosis of Japanese cucumber plants.
