Abstract (es)

In Colombia, there is little information on tobacco crops and the effect of fertilization on the nutrient content of leaves. The aim of this study was to determine the contents of mineral nutrients in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. flue-cured) plants subjected to different fertilizer rates and sources in two municipalities in the Huila Province (Colombia). Six foliar analyses, with three measurements from vegetative growth to flowering and three measurements during harvest, were carried out. Seven treatments, including six fertilization alternatives (three doses and two alternative sources of application) and a commercial control, were evaluated. The contents of the macronutrients N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, and chlorine in the leaves were evaluated. The leaf analyses performed from vegetative growth to flowering showed differences in the foliar contents of nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and chlorine between the two municipalities and over time, with contents that increased. During this stage, the elements with higher accumulations in the plants included N, K, and Ca. At harvest, the contents of potassium, magnesium, and calcium decreased over time. For nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine, differences were found in the time-municipality interaction.

En Colombia existe poca información del cultivo de tabaco y del efecto de la fertilización en el contenido de nutrientes minerales en hoja. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el contenido de nutrientes del tabaco cv. Virginia (Nicotiana tabacum L.) durante el ciclo de cultivo bajo diferentes dosis y fuentes de fertilización, en dos municipios del departamento Huila (Colombia). Se evaluaron siete tratamientos correspondientes a seis alternativas de fertilización (tres dosis y dos alternativas de fuentes de aplicación) y un testigo comercial, para conocer el contenido de nutrientes en hojas, se realizaron seis análisis foliares, tres durante crecimiento vegetativo hasta floración y tres durante la cosecha. Los macronutrientes evaluados en hojas fueron N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S y cloro. De acuerdo a los resultados de los análisis foliares realizados en durante crecimiento vegetativo hasta floración, se encuentran diferencias en el contenido de nitrógeno, calcio, magnesio y cloro en los dos municipios y a través del tiempo, presentándose aumento en los contenidos. Durante esta etapa los elementos que presentan mayor acumulación en las plantas fueron N, K y Ca. Durante la cosecha el contenido de potasio, magnesio y calcio disminuyó a través del tiempo. Para nitrógeno, azufre y cloro se presentaron diferencias en la interacción tiempo-municipio.
