RESUMO

The aim of this work were to evaluate the ionic equilibrium of the culture media, biochemical and nutritional aspects of Eucalyptus grandis shoot growth in liquid media suplemented with nitrogen (17,3; 26,0; 39,0 and 58,5 mmol L-1), phosphate (2,0; 3,0; 4,5 and 6,75 mmol L-1), potassium (7,5; 11,0; 16,5 and 24,75 mmol L-1), calcium (3,3; 5,0; 7,5 and 11,25 mmol L-1); magnesium (2,0; 3,0; 4,5 e 6,75 mmol L-1) and sulphate (2,29; 3,29; 4,79 and 7,04 mmol L-1). The experiment was carried out on a completely randomized statistical design with 19 treatments. The fresh weight, the oven dry weight, the dry weight percentage, the relative growth rate and the pH value were weekly evaluated for 21 days culture period. Mineral nutrients contents, total soluble non-structural carbohydrate, total soluble protein and proline were determined at the 21rst day of culture. The ionic equilibrium of the culture media showed alterations in functions of the macronutrient and concentration utilized. Concentration from nitrogen 39 mmol L-1, phosphate 4,5 mmol L-1, potassium 16,5 mmol L-1, calcium 7,5 mmol L-1, magnesium 6,75 mmol L-1 and sulphate 4,79 mmol L-1 showed to be excessives. The culture medium JADS (CORREIA et al., 1995) composition (N 26,0; P 3,0; K 11,0; Ca 5,0; Mg 3,0, and S 3,0 mmol L-1) showed the optimum shoot growth, but not the maximum growth rate. The fresh and oven dry weight production showed increament along the culture period and the relative growth rates were higher at the first week of culture. Variations on the macronutrient concentrations in the culture media showed diferentiated response to the mineral nutrient content in the shoot dry mass. Fresh mass content of total soluble non-structural carbohydrate, total soluble protein and proline showed variations in function of the macronutrients and of the concentration utilized at the 21rst day of culture.
