Efeitos da reutilização da água da piscicultura no desenvolvimento da Celosia plumosa

Abstract

Ornamental plants have a strong characteristic of adding beauty to the places, and they have a great importance in the world market and economy, as in all areas of agriculture, water is a limiting factor and for that reason it’s necessary to provide technologies and use water in agriculture, in a more rational way, for this reason, the study aimed to observe the reaction of Celosia plumosa with different doses of reuse of aquaculture efluentes in its irrigation. The variables analyzed were plant height, leaf area, number of inflorescences, chlorophyll content and dry and fresh shoot masses. As non-effective doses were significant in the experiment for none of the variables, but a relationship of better development with lower water reuse doses than the full reuse dose can be observed.
