Resumo: | This study evaluates the agronomic and environmental performance of yellow melons produced in an experimental area in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, using conventional methods and alternative systems of cultivation based on the rotation of melons with green manure crops. Two types of alternative management systems were evaluated, spanning twelve treatments: i) tillage, with the incorporation of the green manure biomass into the soil via the subsequent planting of melons into that residue, and ii) no tillage, with the maintenance of the biomass on the soil surface with subsequent planting of melons. Agronomic performance was evaluated by statistical analysis of productivity, while environmental performance was evaluated by analyzing the carbon footprint, according to ISO 14067. Agronomic analysis showed that rotation of melons with maize and Brachiaria resulted in a higher yield of melons for export. Assessment of the carbon footprint of this system in relation to the conventional system showed that the rotation system presented a lower carbon footprint. A scenario analysis showed that the carbon footprint can be further reduced by 42.54%, if: i) production takes place in areas already cultivated for more than 20 years, ii) the amount of inorganic nitrogen applied is reduced by 50%, and iii) commercialization of melons begins in the United States. This study shows the importance of rotating melons with green manure crops to increase production in the semiarid region and reduce the carbon footprint of this fruit. |

Dois tipos de manejo no sistema alternativo foram avaliados, considerando doze tratamentos com adubos verdes: i) incorporação ao solo da biomassa vegetal do adubo verde, e ii) manutenção dessa biomassa sobre o solo com posterior plantio do melão sobre a palhada. A avaliação agronômica baseou-se em análise estatística da produtividade, enquanto a ambiental, na análise da pegada de carbono, de acordo com a ISO 14067. A análise agronômica mostrou que a rotação de melão com milho e braquiária, obteve maior produtividade de melões tipo exportação. A avaliação da pegada de carbono dos sistemas mostrou que o sistema com rotação i) obteve a menor pegada de carbono quando comparado ao tratamento de referência. O estudo de cenários mostrou que a pegada pode ser reduzida em 42,54%, se: i) a produção ocorra em áreas já cultivadas a mais de 20 anos, ii) a quantidade de nitrogênio inorgânico aplicado seja reduzida em 50%, iii) e o melão passe a ser comercializado nos Estados Unidos. Esse trabalho mostra a importância de rotação do melão com adubos verdes para aumento da produção em região semiárida e redução da pegada de carbono.Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido2019-11-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/caatinga/article/view/832510.1590/1983-21252019v32n403rcREVISTA CAATINGA; Vol. 32 No. 4 (2019); 877-888Revista Caatinga; v. 32 n. 4 (2019); 877-8881983-21250100-316Xreponame:Revista Caatingainstname:Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA)instacron:UFERSAenghttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/caatinga/article/view/8325/10097Copyright (c) 2019 Revista Caatingainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarros, Viviane da SilvaSantos, Tayane de LimaSilva, Ebenézer de OliveiraSousa, João Alencar deFigueirêdo, Maria Cléa Brito de2023-07-20T17:51:27Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufersa.edu.br:article/8325Revistahttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/index.php/caatinga/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/index.php/caatinga/oaipatricio@ufersa.edu.br|| caatinga@ufersa.edu.br1983-21250100-316Xopendoar:2024-04-29T09:46:38.834414Revista Caatinga - Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA)true |
