| Abstract | |
Safflower is an oilseed that has attracted national interest in agriculture, as is presented as an option for the second-crop cultivation (fall-winter). However, for expansion of safflower cultivation in Brazil is a need for studies addressing their growth and nutrient uptake in their stages of development in different growth conditions, as the knowledge of these variables will enable precision in fertilizer recommendation for the crop. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the accumulation of dry matter (DM) and macronutrients over the cycle, grain yield, and macronutrient removal by safflower genotypes as affected by sidedressed nitrogen (N) fertilization in no-till system (NTS) with different adoption times. The experiment was conducted in Botucatu-SP, in a Typic Rhodudalf soil. It was adopted a randomized block design in a split-plot scheme with four replications. The plots were composed by eight treatments obtained from the combination of two adoption times of the NTS (NNTS - a newly implemented no-tillage system and ENTS - an established no-till system, with 28 years since the establishment), two safflower genotypes (IMA 2234 and IMA 2237) and two levels of sidedressed N fertilization in topdressing (0 and 100 kg ha-1). The subplots were composed of seven sampling dates (from 22 days after emergence (DAE) by the end of the cycle). Both safflower genotypes had slow accumulation of DM and macronutrients during the rosette stage (0-22 DAE). From this stage until the early grain filling (between 84 and 111 DAE) was the period of greatest growth and accumulation of macronutrients by crop. The genotype IMA 2234 have higher amounts of DM, N, P, K and S accumulated in the shoot. Sidedressed N fertilization influenced mainly N uptake. The yield components, grain yield, and nutrient removal were not influenced by genotype, adoption times of the NTS or sidedressed N fertilization. The uptake of macronutrient was, on average of treatments: K (168 kg ha-1) > N (149 kg ha-1) > Ca (125 kg ha-1) > S (15 kg ha-1) > Mg (14 kg ha-1) > P (13 kg ha-1). The removal of macronutrients by grains followed the sequence, on average of treatments: N (44 kg ha-1) > K (12 kg ha-1) > Ca (6 kg ha-1) > P (4 kg ha -1) > Mg (3 kg ha-1) > S (2 kg ha-1). (AU) | |
