Water relations and growth of irrigated and fertilised pequi trees - Raiane Ferreira de Miranda - Bog

The pequi tree, native to the Cerrado biome, is adapted to the dry season and poor soils. However, it is believed that under conditions of absence of water deficit and good soil fertility, the plant can develop better than in natural conditions, making its commercial cultivation viable. The aim of this study was therefore to assess the water relations and growth of the pequi tree as a function of irrigation and organic fertiliser.
