Leaf tissues proportion and chemical composition of Axonopus jesuiticus x A. scoparius as a function of pig slurry application

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical and anatomical attributes of leaves of giant missionary grass to application of 0, 62, 124, 186, 248 and 310m³ ha-1 of pig slurry. At 83 days after the last application of fertilizer, the leaf blades were collected, fixed in FAA 70%, sectioned, stained, phot...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to evaluate the chemical and anatomical attributes of leaves of giant missionary grass to application of 0, 62, 124, 186, 248 and 310m³ ha-1 of pig slurry. At 83 days after the last application of fertilizer, the leaf blades were collected, fixed in FAA 70%, sectioned, stained, photographed and digitalized. The transversal section of leaf blades were evaluated for proportion of epidermis, lignified vascular tissue + sclerenchyma, non-lignified vascular tissue and parenchyma with an image-processing system calibrated to 1mm pixel-1. Leaf samples were analyzed for crude protein, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber and hemicellulose content by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The pig slurry application up to 310m³ ha-1 significantly increased the percentage of crude protein, parenchyma, epidermis, non-lignified vascular tissue and hemicellulose, while decreasing the percentage of acid detergent fiber and lignified vascular tissue + sclerenchyma. The Pearson's correlation was positive between crude protein and non-lignified vascular tissue, and between acid detergent fiber and lignified vascular tissue + sclerenchyma. The percentage of hemicellulose was positively correlated with epidermis, parenchyma and non-lignified vascular tissue. A negative correlation between acid detergent fiber and epidermis, parenchyma and non-lignified vascular tissue was observed. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os atributos anatômicos e químicos da grama-missioneira-gigante à aplicação de 0, 62, 124, 186, 248 and 310m³ ha-1. Decorridos 83 dias do último corte e da aplicação do dejeto, as lâminas foliares foram coletadas, fixadas em FAA 70%, seccionadas, coradas, fotografadas e digitalizadas. Secções transversais das lâminas foliares foram avaliadas quanto à proporção das áreas de epiderme, tecido vascular lignificado + esclerênquima, tecido vascular não lignificado e parênquima, na região entre a quilha e o segundo maior feixe vascular, com sistema de processamento de imagem calibrado para 1mm pixel-1. Amostras de folhas foram coletadas e analisadas quanto ao teor de proteína bruta, fibra insolúvel em detergente ácido e fibra insolúvel em detergente neutro, pelo método de espectrometria de reflectância no infravermelho proximal. A aplicação de até 310m³ ha-1 do dejeto líquido de suíno aumentou os percentuais de proteína bruta, hemicelulose, parênquima e tecido vascular não lignificado, reduzindo os percentuais de fibra insolúvel em deterg
