Avaliação Fenológica do coentro (Coriandrum sativum L.) em diferentes condições de luminosidade

Abstract

Coriander Coriandrum sativum L. is a glabrous plant, from the Apiaceae family, with small or aromatic pink or white flowers, whose fruit is diakene and whose leaf, used as a seasoning or condiment, exudes a characteristic odor. It is a vegetable used in several regions of Brazil as a condiment, of great socioeconomic importance. The performance of this vegetable is very important for producers due to its commercialization. Only by raising the level of quality, which can guarantee excellent productions. In order to seek improvements in the yield and quality of this vegetable, four different lighting conditions were investigated. The experiment was completely randomized (DIC), conducted during the period from August to November 2019 at Campus I of the State University of Alagoas-UNEAL in Arapiraca-AL. The seeds were sown in trays and, thirty days after emergence, transplantation took place in 3.5 liter containers, containing a mixture of soil and tanned bovine manure in a 2: 1 ratio. Irrigation occurred equally in all pots, twice a day. Therefore, among the analyzed variables, there was a higher yield of vegetables with the variable MS - half shade (with a 50% surplus of interception of direct solar radiation), obtaining plants with more developed stems and leaves, in addition to more vivid colors in relation to those grown in different environments. It is concluded, therefore, that vegetables are in an environment with a 50% interception of solar radiation promotes greater yield for the production of coriander, making it the best option for growing this vegetable.
