          Abstract

          ABSTRACT An adequate N supply is essential for plant growth, and changing plant density increases nitrogen demand. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of top-dressing nitrogen fertilization on quality and yield of onions grown under three plant densities. The experiment was conducted from June to October, in Oratórios, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, using the hybrid Superex. A randomized block experimental design was used, with a split-plot arrangement and four replications. N rates (0, 60, 120, and 240 kg ha-1) were evaluated in the plots and plant densities (40 plants m-2 - one seedling per cell; 80 plants m-2 - two seedlings per cell; and 120 plants m-2 - three seedlings per cell) were evaluated in the subplots. The yield found for the treatment with 80 plants m-2 and 171 kg ha-1 of N was 51.28 Mg ha-1 of marketable bulbs, with approximately 75% class 3 and 17% class 4 bulbs. Bulb weight decreased with increasing plant density. Top-dressing nitrogen fertilization increases the quality and yield of onions, regardless of the plant density. The highest yield was found when using 80 plants m-2 and 240 kg ha-1 of N. A density of 80 plants m-2 (two seedlings per cell) and 171 kg ha-1 of N is recommended when intending to obtain class 3 and 4 bulbs.

          RESUMO O suprimento adequado de N é essencial ao crescimento das plantas e a alteração na densidade de plantio pode aumentar a demanda por nitrogênio. Objetivou-se nesse trabalho avaliar a influência de doses de nitrogênio na qualidade e na produtividade de cebola em três densidades de plantio a partir de uma, duas e três mudas por célula de bandeja. O experimento foi conduzido no período de junho a outubro de 2012 em Oratórios-MG, com o híbrido Superex. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos casualizados e m parcelas subdivididas, com quatro repetições. Nas parcelas avaliou-se doses de N (0, 60, 120 e 240 kg de N ha-1) e nas subparcelas a densidade de plantio: 40 plantas m-2 (uma muda por célula), 80 plantas m-2 (duas mudas por célula) e 120 plantas m-2 (três mudas por célula). Com 80 plantas m-2 e 171 kg ha-1 de N, a produtividade foi 51,28 Mg ha-1 de bulbos comercializáveis com cerca de 75% de bulbos na classe 3 e 17% de bulbos na classe 4. A massa de bulbos reduziu com o aumento da densidade de plantio. A a d u b ação com nitrogénio, em cobertura, aumenta a qualidade e o rendimento da cebola, independentemente da densidade das plantas. A maior produtividade foi observada com 80 plantas m-2 e 240 kg ha-1 de N. Recomenda-se a densidade de 80 plantas m-2 (duas mudas por célula) e 171 kg ha-1 de N para atender a preferência por bulbos das classes 3 e 4.

          GENES: a software package for analysis in experimental statistics and quantitative genetics

          GENES is a software package used for data analysis and processing with different biometric models and is essential in genetic studies applied to plant and animal breeding. It allows parameter estimation to analyze biological phenomena and is fundamental for the decision-making process and predictions of success and viability of selection strategies. The program can be downloaded from the Internet (http://www.ufv.br/dbg/genes/genes.htm or http://www.ufv.br/dbg/biodata.htm) and is available in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Specific literature (http://www.livraria.ufv.br/) and a set of sample files are also provided, making GENES easy to use. The software is integrated into the programs MS Word, MS Excel and Paint, ensuring simplicity and effectiveness in data import and export of results, figures and data. It is also compatible with the free software R and Matlab, through the supply of useful scripts available for complementary analyses in different areas, including genome wide selection, prediction of breeding values and use of neural networks in genetic improvement.
