Comportamento do algodoeiro cv. Delta opal sob estresse hídrico com e sem aplicação de bioestimulante

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evalue the effect of bio-stimulant Stimulate® applicated or not in differents development stages of cotton plant cv Delta Opal, cultivated in a vegetation house and submitted or not to hydric stress. There were applicated 25, 60 and 100% of total volume of pores (VTP) filled out with water and Stimulate® applicated on the seed and on the flower botton stage and without biostimulant application 69 days after sowing. The hydric stress period of time was 15, 30 and 45 days after hydric stress application. The experimental delineation was wholly randomized in a 3x3x3 factorial scheme, with four repetitions of five plants each one. The cotton plant cv Delta Opal did not support hydric eack of 25% VTP on the flower botton beginning, being observed the minor heights, lap diameters, number of flowers, and endangering the formation of reproductive frames. The bio-stimulant dose and application form did not offer improvement on plants development when submitted to eack of water, but on plants submitted to water excess, a lap diameter increase occurred.
