CULTIVARES DE CEVADA SEMEADAS EM ESPAÇAMENTOS SIMPLES E PAREADO COMBINADOS COM DOSES DE ADUBO E DENSIDADES DE SEMEADURA

Abstract

The arrangement of plants in paired spacing has been used in some cultivars of barley with good yield results. However, this still presents divergent results spacing between the work already carried out. In addition, it is necessary to adjust the rate of fertilizer and plant population to be used in paired spacing, as compared to simple spacing. The objective of this work was to evaluate rates of fertilizer at seeding and populations of plants in paired spacing in comparison with the simple in crop of barley. In this sense, two experiments were installed, differing them by cultivating, in farm school of the Universidade Estadual de Ponta Grossa, in the municipality of Ponta Grossa, PR, in the year 2013, with repetition in the year 2014. The experimental design adopted in two years was randomized in main plots plots scheme, with four replicates. The treatments consisted of plots with two spatial arrangements of plants (simple and paired spacing), subplots with two doses of fertilizer applied at seeding (100 and 150 kg ha-1) and subsubparcelas with four plant populations (270, 360, 540 and 450 seeds m-2). The treatments were applied in two barley cultivars, BRS-Cauê and BRS-Elis. With the results obtained shows that the paired spacing does not present positive results consolidated in crop of barley, once the simple spacing produced more than the paired. The largest rate of fertilizer applied at seeding should be adopted regardless of the spatial arrangement is used, because it resulted in higher yield in one of the cultivars in the two years of research. The recommended seeding density for the crop of barley (250 to 300 plants m-2) should be kept regardless of the spatial arrangement adopted, since the elevation of density not provided positive results that justify their adoption.
