Viabilidade técnica e econômica da produção de ervilha (Pisum sativum L.) cultivada sob diferentes lâminas de irrigação

Abstract

This work had the aim to verify the technical and economic feasibility of pea (Pisum satiums L.) yield under different irrigation depth levels, cultivated in greenhouse. It was used a completely randomized design (CRD), with five levels of replacement of water irrigation (50%, 75%, 100%, 125% and 150% of field capacity) with four replications. The crop was drip irrigated when the average soil water tension obtained from the tensiometers installed in the treatment of 100% was equivalent to 15 kPa. The results were affected by drought and water excess for total production of the plant and for number of beans for plant. The maximum productivity obtained was equal to 4,197 kg ha-1 for a water depth of 188.4 mm and the economic great irrigation depth was 187.4 mm; the greatest water use efficiency was 27.23 kg ha1 mm-1 for a water depth of 86.25 mm.
