Produtividade de figueiras (Ficus carica L.) conduzidas com diferentes números de ramos, em Chapecó-SC

Abstract

The fig tree (fícus carica) produces their fruitful yolks in the knots of the branch of the year due to that is annually necessary to do the pruning to obtain a good production. The amount of branch that the fig plant influence is driven in the production of fruits, ripe and unripe, of the plant and in the quality of the same ones. In this context the objetico of this work is to evaluate the productivity of ripe and unripe fig of two cultivate of fig driven with different numbers of branches, in the conditions of soil and climate of Chapecó-SC. The work was executed at the orchard of the section of horticulture of the Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul, campus Chapecó. SC. The used experimental delineation was a delineation entirely casualy with three repetitions, where it has four plants for repetition, in an outline bifatorial 2x3, being the two cultivate of fig: Pingo de Mel and Roxo de Valinhos, and three handlings of prunings, being 16, 24 and 32 branches. The spacing among the plants was of 5m between lines and 2m among the plants (5,0x2,0m 1.000 plants / ha). The experiment was driven without irrigation. The variables that were analyzed are variable vegetative and productive variables. Being the vegetative ones is: the medium length of the branches, fruit number for meter of branch, productivity of fruits, productivity of unripe fruits, accumulated productivity in the year, medium weight of fruit, fruit diameter, soluble solids, mass dries of the fruits the data went to the variance analysis for the test F and compared amongst themselves by the test of Tukey at the level of 5% of significância. The systems of prunings exercise inflência about the productivity of fruits of the two cultivate but it didn't influence in the quality of the fruits as soluble solids, mass dries, fruit size and branch length. The transport system with 24 productive branches can be a good alternative for fig produtors of the area that want to produce for the consumption in natura or industrial.
