Atividade das enzimas invertases e acúmulo de sacarose em cana-de-açúcar sob efeito do nitrato de potássio, etefon e etil-trinexapac

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the acid and neutral invertases enzymes activity and its influence in process of regulation sucrose accumulation in stems of RB855453 variety sugarcane under effect the potassium nitrate in compared with ripeners, of class of retainers growth, ethephon and ethyl-trinexapac, for to contribute the understanding of act this chemical compost. The treatments consisted of four ripeners of class of growth retainers, which active ingredient are ethefon, ethyl-trinexapac, potassium nitrate and potassium nitrate + boron and natural ripener as control, in a randomized block design with five replicates. The acid and neutral invertases enzymes levels were affected of form and intensity differents due active ingredient used as ripening and weather conditions; however, in general, the acid invertase levels were greatest the neutral invertase whitout to compromise the sucrose accumulation in stems of RB855453 cultivar sugarcane. The Potassium nitrate had effect ripener in sugarcane allowing sucrose accumulation in stems, however the weather conditions affected its agronomical efficiency, therefore act as inducers of the ripening process.
