Can nutritional aspects of Crambe abyssinica be modulated by phosphorus supply and water availability?

ABSTRACT Phosphorus is a major limiting nutrient for crops in tropical regions. In addition, another major challenge for the future agriculture will be to maintain water levels in the soil to ensure satisfactory crop development. This study inserted in this context aimed to evaluate the conditioning caused by phosphorus fertilization and water availability in the soil over the biomass production and nutritional efficiency of plants of crambe (Crambe abyssinica Hochst). To this end, the experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, with four levels of phosphorus fertilization and three levels of water availability, along of 45 days, in order to obtain information about the production of biomass, nutritional contents, and the patterns of the nutritional efficiency of crambe plants. The results show that increasing the phosphorus supply in the soil promotes greater biomass production in crambe plants. In addition, the increase in water availability and levels of phosphorus fertilization near the recommended level promotes greater nutritional efficiencies in absorb, translocate and use the phosphorus available in the soil.
