Item Comparison between climatological and field water balances for a coffee crop(Escola Superior de Agricultura "Luiz de Queiroz", 2007-05) Bruno, Isabeli Pereira; Silva, Adriana Lúcia da; Reichardt, Klaus; Dourado-Neto, Durval; Bacchi, Osny Oliveira Santos; Volpe, Clóvis AlbertoThe use of climatological water balances in substitution to complete water balances directly measured in the field allows a more practical crop management, since the climatological water balances are based on data monitored as a routine. This study makes a comparison between these methods in terms of estimatives of evapotranspiration, soil water storage, soil available water, runoff losses, and drainage below root zone, during a two year period, taking as an example a coffee crop of the variety Catuaí, three to five years old. Climatological water balances based on the estimation of the evapotranspiration through the methods of Thornthwaite and Penman-Monteith, can reasonably substitute field measured balances, however underestimating the above mentioned variables.Item Gas exchange and carbohydrate partitioning in cooffee seedlings under waterlogging(Editora UFLA, 2015-03) Silveira, Helbert Rezende de Oliveira; Souza, Kamila Rezende Dázio de; Alves, Jose Donizeti; Santos, Meline de Oliveira; Andrade, Cínthia Aparecida; Bomfim, Sandro CostaIrrigation has enhanced coffee production in several regions of Brazil. However, with the increase in irrigated crop areas, problems related to the frequent and poorly planned usage of irrigation may arise. Since there are few studies related to the physiological alterations in coffee plants exposed to water excess, we evaluated the effects of waterlogging on metabolism and partitioning of carbohydrates, levels of photosynthetic pigments and gas exchange in seedlings of two commercial coffee cultivars (Mundo Novo and Catuaí). After acclimation, seedlings with eight pairs of fully expanded leaves were cultivated under three water availability conditions: field capacity, intermittent waterlogging and continuous waterlogging. Gas exchange and the levels of chlorophyll, carotenoids and carbohydrates were evaluated during the five months after the beginning of the treatments. Waterlogging reduced the rates of photosynthesis and transpiration, leading to lower activity of the carboxylative step of photosynthesis and culminating in the reduction of carbohydrate partitioning in coffee seedlings. Although many physiological parameters were affected by waterlogging, the cultivars in our study survived for five months under stressful conditions.
