The objective of this study was to evaluate growth regulators with purpose of reducing the size of heliconia ‘Red Opal’ potted plants. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design with five treatments (trinexapac-ethyl and paclobutrazol at rates of 37.5 and 75.0 mg of active ingredient per pot and control without growth regulator) and five replicates. The treatments were applied 40 days after planting the rhizomes in pots filled with soil. Thirty and 150 days after the growth regulator application, plant height, number of leaves and shoots, petioles length and leaf area were evaluated. One year after planting the rhizomes in pots the number of inflorescence and leaves (leaves, sheathing leaf bases and inflorescences) and rhizomes (rhizomes and roots) dry mass were determined. Trinexapac-ethyl had no differences compared to the control in any of the variables evaluated. Paclobutrazol proved effective in reducing plant height, leaf area and petiole length and increase in number of leaves and shoots but the effect was temporary. Also, it did not affect the inflorescences production and leaves and rhizomes dry mass. Paclobutrazol is efficient to promote height reduction and to increase the number of shoots in heliconia ‘Red Opal’ potted plants without affect the inflorescence formation but its effects is temporary.

Shallots (Allium ascalonicum L.) is one of the leading vegetable commodities used as food seasoning and traditional medicine. This study aims to see the effect of providing various doses of NPK fertilizer and types of biological fertilizers on the growth and production of shallot plants. This study used a randomized block design (RAK) arranged in a factorial (4 x 2). The first factor is the NPK fertilizer dosage which consists of four levels, namely: N0= 0% (without NPK fertilizer), N1= 50% (25 g/m2), N2= 100% (50 g/m2), and N3= 150% (75 g/m2). The second factor is the type of biological fertilizer which consists of two levels, namely: H1= Grikulan plus fertilizer and H2= EM4. The results showed that the NPK fertilizer dosage treatment up to a dose of 75g/m2 gave the best results on plant growth and development, including the number of leaves, plant height, fresh tuber weight per plant, wind dry tuber weight per plant, and wind dry tuber weight per m2. The growth and development of shallot plants with the application of Grikulan biological fertilizers were better than those of EM4 biological fertilizers. Treatment of NPK fertilizer dosage of 150% or equivalent to 75 g / m2 supplemented with the application of Grikulan plus fertilizer results in higher production, namely the weight of dry tubers per m2 reaching 1674.33 g or equivalent to 11.72 tonnes/ha. Keywords : EM4, Grikulan plus, shallots,NPK, yield

ABSTRACT The adequate ratio in the supply of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) for each phenological growth stage of melon is fundamental for its growth and development with the maximization of the dry mass partition between the vegetative and reproductive parts. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of N and K concentrations in two phenological growth stages (vegetative and reproductive stage) of melon and obtain the best N:K ratio for each one. In the first stage, four concentrations of N (8, 11, 14 and 17 mmol L-1) and two concentrations of K (4 and 5 mmol L-1) were evaluated in a randomized block design in a 4 × 2 factorial scheme with five replicates. In the second stage, in a 2 × 2 factorial scheme, the combinations of the two concentrations of N that generated the best characteristics in the previous stage and two concentrations of K (4.5 and 9.0 mmol L-1) were evaluated. The increase of the N concentration in the vegetative stage promoted the increase of the N, P and S content of leaves and the reduction of K, Ca and Mg. Moreover, it increased the number of leaves, the height of the plant (vertically tutored) and the leaf area. Therefore, 17:5 mmol L-1 was considered as the best N:K ratio for the vegetative stage. In the second stage, there was no effect of N and K concentrations on leaf area, yield and fruit quality. So, 14:4.5 mmol L-1 was considered as the best N:K ratio for the reproductive stage.
