          Abstract

          El melón con fertiriego y acolchado plástico es sometido a uso intensivo de insumos, agua y nutrientes para generar altos rendimientos y calidad de fruto. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el manejo nutricional y su relación con el rendimiento y calidad de fruta y con el contenido nutricional en hoja y extracto celular de peciolo (ECP) de melón con fertiriego. Se evaluaron dos experimentos en marzo 2006 y 2007. Los tratamientos evaluados fueron siete dosis de fertilización, con cinco niveles de nitrógeno, dos de fósforo y dos de potasio, desempeñándose como testigo la dosis 180-100-200, además, con esta misma dosis, se agregaron tres tratamientos adicionales con el uso de fertilizantes foliares inorgánicos, orgánicos y promotores del crecimiento. Se evaluó la concentración de NNO3 y K+ (mg·litro-1) en el extracto celular del peciolo (ECP), la concentración de N y K total (%) en hoja y el rendimiento Bruce y nacional y contenido de azúcares. Los resultados indicaron relevancia del N, significativo en rendimiento y calidad de fruto y en concentración de N-NO3 en ECP y N total foliar (%). Hubo relación significativa en rendimiento y condición nutricional (r>0.70* P<0.05), con valores máximos de N-NO3 entre 230 y 418 mg·litro-1 y de 2.41 % para N total foliar. Es factible reducir la intensidad nutricional de N hasta 120 kg·ha-1, se pueden suprimir las aplicaciones de P2O5 y K2O y de foliares, sin afectar la calidad y rendimiento de fruto y el estado nutrimental de la hoja y de ECP de melón Cantaloupe.

          Fertigated cantaloupe grown on plastic mulch is subjected to intense use of water and fertilizer for the aim of obtaining high fruit yields and quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nutritional management on fruit yield, fruit quality and leaf nutrient content in leaves and petiole cellular extract (PCE) of cantaloupe grown with fertigation and plastic mulch. Two experiments were carried out, one in 2006 and one in 2007; both experiments were started in March. Evaluated soil-applied treatments were seven fertilizer combinations consisting in five dosages of nitrogen (N) (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg·ha-1), two of phosphorus (P) (0 and 100 kg·ha-1), and two of potassium (K) (0 and 200 kg·ha-1); a treatment of 180-100-200 was used as the control. Furthermore, three treatments of leaf applications of inorganic and organic fertilizer and plant growth promoters were also evaluated. N-NO3 and K+ content in PCE, N and K content in leaves plus fruit yield, fruit quality and sugar content were determined. The results indicated that N was the main factor affecting fruit quality, fruit yield, PCE N-NO3 content, and total N concentration in leaves. A significant relationship (r>0.70, P<0.05) between fruit yield and nutritional condition was found. Maximum N-NO3 values were between 230 and 418 mg·L-1 while total foliar N was 2.41 %. We concluded that it is feasible to reduce N fertilizer up to rates of 120 kg·ha-1 while P2O5, K2O, and foliar fertilizer applications can be suppressed without affecting fruit yield, fruit quality, PCE and leaf nutritional status in cantaloupe.

            Long-term effects of nitrogen fertilizer use on ground water nitrate in two small watersheds.

            Changes in agricultural management can minimize NO3-N leaching, but then the time needed to improve ground water quality is uncertain. A study was conducted in two first-order watersheds (30 and 34 ha) in Iowa's Loess Hills. Both were managed in continuous corn (Zea mays L.) from 1964 through 1995 with similar N fertilizer applications (average 178 kg ha(-1) yr(-1)), except one received applications averaging 446 kg N ha(-1) yr(-1) between 1969 and 1974. This study determined if NO3-N from these large applications could persist in ground water and baseflow, and affect comparison between new crop rotations implemented in 1996. Piezometer nests were installed and deep cores collected in 1996, then ground water levels and NO3-N concentrations were monitored. Tritium and stable isotopes (2H, 18O) were determined on 33 water samples in 2001. Baseflow from the heavily N-fertilized watershed had larger average NO3-N concentrations, by 8 mg L(-1). Time-of-travel calculations and tritium data showed ground water resides in these watersheds for decades. "Bomb-peak" precipitation (1963-1980) most influenced tritium concentrations near lower slope positions, while deep ground water was dominantly pre-1953 precipitation. Near the stream, greater recharge and mixed-age ground water was suggested by stable isotope and tritium data, respectively. Using sediment-core data collected from the deep unsaturated zone between 1972 and 1996, the increasing depth of a NO3-N pulse was related to cumulative baseflow (r2 = 0.98), suggesting slow downward movement of NO3-N since the first experiment. Management changes implemented in 1996 will take years to fully influence ground water NO3-N. Determining ground water quality responses to new agricultural practices may take decades in some watersheds.
