چکیده

Utilização de bioestimulante para incremento da produção e do teor de flavonoides em calêndula (Calendula officinalis L.) A produção de plantas medicinais como matéria-prima para a indústria deve associar aqualidade à formação de massa e, para tanto, o emprego de reguladores vegetais tem sido estudado nestas culturas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de bioestimulante no crescimento, produção de inflorescências e teor de flavonoides em calêndula. O experimento foi conduzido em casa-de-vegetação e os tratamentos consistiram em doses crescentes do bioestimulante (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 e 15 mL L), aplicadas por pulverização foliar, com dez aplicações consecutivas do produto. O delineamento experimental foi o inteiramente casualizado, com seis tratamentos e dez repetições. O número de folhas e de capítulos florais e a massa da matéria seca de raízes aumentaram, linearmente, em função do acréscimo da dose do bioestimulante, apresentando incrementos de 20%; 36,97% e 97,28% respectivamente, em relação aos do controle. As massas da matéria seca da parte aérea e total apresentaram valores máximos na maior dose testada de 15 mL L (com acréscimos de 40,09 e 46,30%, respectivamente).

[email protected] Effect of biostimulant application on production and flavonoid content of marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) The production of medicinal plants as raw material for industry must associate quality with biomass formation and, with this purpose, the application of plant growth regulators has been studied in these crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a biostimulant on growth, inflorescence production and flavonoid content in marigold. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse and the treatments consisted of increasing doses of the biostimulant (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 mL L) applied by foliar spraying in ten consecutive applications. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design, with six treatments and ten repetitions. The number of leaves and flowerheads and dry matter of roots increased linearly with increasing doses of the growth promoter, with 20%, 36.97% and 97.28% increases, respectively, compared with the control. The total dry mass and shoot dry mass showed maximum values at the highest dose tested of 15 mL L (with increases of 40.09% and 46.30%, respectively). Plant height and flavonoid content reached the highest values at a dose of 6 mL L. The biostimulant promoted the development of marigold and positively influenced the synthesis of the secondary compound of medicinal interest. Among the tested doses, the application of rates between 6 and 9 mL L of the biostimulant is recommended for more efficient large-scale production of marigold.
