Abstract in Portuguese
O presente trabalho teve por finalidade verificar o comportamento do cacaueiro (Theobroma spp) em relação à absorção de umidade do solo pelas raízes. Para testar este comportamento foi saturado um bloco de terra de 180 m3 (6 x 9 x 2 m) abrangendo 6 cacaueiros híbridos, resultantes de cruzamentos controlados de clones do Complexo Amazônico (LOCAIS) x Trinitários (UF - 613) e Crioulos (DR - 2), num solo pertencente ao subgrupo Tipic Tropudalf, pela 7ª aproximação. Os teores de umidade, correspondentes às distâncias e profundidades que funcionaram como tratamentos foram determinados semanalmente durante 9 épocas consecutivas, sendo a primeira 2 dias após a saturação. Da apreciação geral dos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que na camada superficial de 0 a 30 cm, existe maior absorção de água na distância de 100 cm afastada do tronco do que de 30 a 50 cm. Como era de se esperar, a camada onde ocorre maior absorção de água, em relação às outras profundidades, é a de 0 a 30 cm. Verificou-se, após a interpretação dos resultados, que a influência da radiação solar, combinada à orientação da área e às faces expostas da trincheira aberta, poderiam explicar, em parte, as variações de umidade observadas.
Abstract in English
The main objective of this work was to study water uptake by the root system of adult cocoa trees (Thebroma spp). Six contiguous trees were isolated from the others in a plantation of a hybrid variety resulting from the crossing of the following clones: Amazonic (LOCAL) x Trinitario (UF - 613) and Native (DR - 2), by means of a trench 0,70 m wide and 2,0 m deep dug around the block containing the selected trees. This block (180 m3) was part of a Typic Tropudalf soil. It was saturated with water and covered with a sheet of black plastic to prevent loss of water by evaporation. Soil moisture was determined at 3 distances (30 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm) from each tree trunk and three depths (0-30 cm, 30 - 60 cm and 60 - 90 cm). The combination of these points resulted in the nine treatments. Soil samples were drawn at weekly intervals except the first which was taken 2 days after saturation was achieved. Sampling dates totaled nine at the conclusion of the experiment. The interpretation of the results led to the conclusions that the most active region of water uptake by cocoa roots was in the layer 0-30 cm deep and 100 cm away from the three trunk. As expected the layer from which most of the water was absorbed was the surface 0-30 cm layer. It was also observed that the incidence of solar radiation combined with the plot orientation and the sides of the trench had some effect in the results obtained.
