          Abstract

          Dois ensaios foram conduzidos no Centro Experimental de Campinas, no período agosto-outubro de 1983, em condições de casa de vegetação, para avaliar e selecionar linhagens de milho (Zea mays L.) quanto à eficiência na absorção e utilização de potássio em solução nutritiva. No primeiro ensaio, seis linhagens foram cultivadas com 20, 40, 60, 80 e 100 mg/litro de K até aos 34 dias de idade, com o objetivo de determinar o nível adequado para diferenciação das plantas. No segundo, 37 linhagens de milho foram selecionadas com 20 mg/litro de K até aos 25 dias de idade. As soluções nutritivas foram continuamente arejadas e não renovadas e as plantas, deixadas crescer até aparecerem sintomas de deficiência de potássio nas folhas inferiores. As variações observadas nos pesos de matéria seca das raízes (CV das médias = 38,9%) foram maiores que aquelas da parte aérea (CV das médias = 28,5%). As linhagens foram classificadas de acordo com a produção de matéria seca total, em grupos eficientes, ineficientes e medianamente eficientes, utilizando-se de um intervalo de confiança para a média geral. A absorção de K pelas linhagens, avaliada pelo seu conteúdo total, variou (CV das médias = 9%) acompanhando a variação observada nos pesos de matéria seca total (r = 0,92). Entretanto, a relação de eficiência das linhagens apresentou variação maior (CV das médias = 23%) e também acompanhou a variação no crescimento das plantas (r = 0,99). Isso é uma indicação de que o mecanismo de utilização de K pelas plantas foi o fator que mais contribuiu para a diferenciação entre os genótipos.

          Two experiments were conducted in the Experimental Station of Campinas, Instituto Agronômico, State of São Paulo, Brazil, in 1983, under greenhouse conditions, in order to evaluate and select efficient corn (Zea mays L.) inbred lines in the uptake and use of potassium in nutrient solution. In a first trial, six lines were grow n with 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg K/liter, up to thirty four days of age, with the objective of determining the adequate K level for plant growth differentiation. In a second trial, thirty seven inbred lines were grown with 20 mg K/liter up to twenty five days of age. Both experiments were arranged in randomized complete blocks with four replications, in 2.8 liter pots with two plants per pot. The nutrient solutions were continuously aerated, without renewing, and plants were allowed to grow till K deficiency symptoms appeared in the lower leaves. Variations among lines were observed for shoot and root dry weights, for total K contents and dry matter produced per unit K absorbed (efficiency ratios). Larger variations among root systems (CV of means = 38.9%) than shoots (CV of means = 28.5%) were observed. Genotypes were ranked and classified, according to the total dry matter yields, in efficient, intermediate and inefficient plants. Variations in total K contents (CV of means = 9.0%) and in efficiency ratios (CV of means = 23.0%) showed high correlation with the total dry weights (r = 0.92 and 0.99, respectively). Both K uptake and K use mechanisms seemed to be involved, but the larger variations among efficiency ratios indicated that the K utilization process was the main factor limiting plant growth.
