Phenological behavior of feijoa accessions in their main diversity center

Summary:The objective of this work was to identify the minimum base temperature (Tb) and the maximum base temperature (TB) to predict the thermal time for six phenological stages of feijoa (Acca sellowiana) accessions. During ten noncontinuous harvests (2004 to 2017), 247 feijoa accessions, maintained in the Feijoa Active Germplasm Bank, in São Joaquim, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, had their data recorded for: initial sprouting (IS), initial flowering (IF), end of flowering (EF), beginning of harvest (BH), and end of harvest (EH). Tb and TB were estimated by the Arnold’s method of least variability, and the TT requirements were obtained by Ometto’s method. Tb at 7.76°C and TB at 17.0°C were necessary when feijoa plants started growing (IS stage) just after winter; and Tb at 10.6°C and TB at 19.5°C were the calculated values from IS until BH. The budding stage of the accessions began in the mid-September (50.6%); flowering occurred predominantly in November (90%); and harvest began in March and lasted until May. About 176 days, with 1,014.4 growing degree-days, are necessary to complete the productive cycle from IS until BH. The early, intermediary, and late fruit-ripening accessions show different thermal time requirements. Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a temperatura base mínima (Tb) e a temperatura base máxima (TB), para predizer o requerimento térmico de seis estágios fenológicos de acessos de feijoa (Acca sellowiana). Durante dez safras não sequenciais (2004 a 2017), 247 acessos, mantidos no Banco Ativo de Germoplasma, em São Joaquim, no estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, tiveram seus dados registrados quanto a: início de brotação (IB), início de floração (IF), fim de floração (FF), início de colheita (IC) e fim de colheita (FC). A Tb e a TB foram estimadas pelo método de mínima variabilidade de Arnold, e os requerimentos térmicos foram obtidos pelo método de Ometto. Os valores de Tb a 7,76°C e TB a 17,0°C foram necessários quando as plantas de feijoa começaram a crescer (estágio IB), logo após o inverno; e Tb a 10,6°C e TB a 19,5°C foram os valores calculados de IB até IC. A brotação dos acessos iniciou-se em meados de setembro (50,6%); a floração ocorreu predominantemente em novembro (90%); e a colheita iniciou-se em março, tendo-se estendido até maio. São necessários cerca de 176 dias, com 1.014,4 graus-dia, para completar o ciclo produtivo desde IB até IC. Os acessos de feijoa de maturação precoce, intermediária e tardia apresentam diferentes exigências de requerimento térmico.
