Analise econômica e produtividade de sisal em manejo sustentável no curimataú paraibano ocidental

Abstract

Sisal is a semi-siliceous plant, which requires high temperature and great luminosity for its development, thus adapting to semi-arid regions. Sisal is an important product of the agricultural economy of Paraíba, which has already been one of the main products of exports. Sisal's culture also stands out for the generation of jobs, which includes a service chain that goes from maintenance of crops (based on family labor), extraction and processing of fiber for processing , to the activities of industrialization of various products. The study area is located in the Funda Grotto Site, coordinates 180404.76m E, 9236980.58m S, zone 25S, in the municipality of Remígio, State of Paraíba, which is located in the semi-arid region with an average temperature of approximately 25ºC and average rainfall of approximately 500 mm. The experimental area was composed of four replications, using a randomized complete block design (DBC), with five treatments - being: T1 control; T2 corresponds to (MMCR) mucilage management with replanting; T3 corresponds to (MMSR) handling without mucilage without replanting; T4 treatment corresponding to (MSMSR) handling without mucilage and without replanting; T5 (MSMCR) without mucilage and replanting. In general, it was observed that for all variables studied there was no significant effect among the treatments. Another important point to note is that where replanting did not change productivity after 1 year, since the seedlings of these plants only produce after 3 years. The application of mucilage and replanting under the conditions of the experiment did not increase productivity characters.
