1 RESUMO
O presente trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar os teores de foliares de N, P, K, Ca e Mg em laranjeiras em função da aplicação de diferentes proporções de lodo de esgoto compostado em substituição à adubação nitrogenada mineral. Para o cálculo das doses aplicadas, considerou-se 2,77% de N presente no resíduo e taxa de mineralização de 30%, perfazendo as doses de 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 e 30 kg planta-1 de lodo de esgoto, complementado com fontes minerais a fim de satisfazer 100% da demanda nutricional. As plantas foram crescidas em vasos com 500 L de solo e irrigadas por gotejamento para reposição da água evapotranspirada no dia anterior. A aplicação de lodo de esgoto compostado ao solo na fertilização de laranjeiras ‘Pêra’ exerceram efeitos significativos nos teores foliares de N, P e Ca. Os tratamentos que utilizaram doses maiores que 18 kg lodo planta-1 causaram desbalanço nutricional entre Ca e Mg, com prejuízos à absorção de Mg, apresentando teores foliares inferiores aos considerados adequados.
Palavras-chave: Citrus sinensis, nitrogênio, lodo de esgoto compostado.

UPTAKE OF N, P, K, Ca AND Mg BY 'PEAR' ORANGE TREES FERTILIZED WITH COMPOSTED SEWAGE SLUDGE TO REPLACE MINERAL NITROGEN FERTILIZATION
2 ABSTRACT
The objective of the study was to evaluate leaf levels of N, P, K, Ca and Mg in orange trees as a function of different levels of composted sewage sludge to replace mineral N fertilization. For dose calculation, 2.77% N in the residue and 30% mineralization rate were considered. Doses consisted of 0, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 kg plant-1 of sewage sludge which were supplemented with mineral sources to meet 100% nutritional demand. Plants were grown in 500 L soil pots and drip irrigated to replace evapotranspirated water from the day before. The use of composted sewage sludge in soil for fertilization of “Pear” orange trees had significant effects on leaf levels of N, P and Ca. Doses higher than 18 kg sludge plant-1 in the treatments caused a nutritional imbalance between Ca and Mg, and adversely affected Mg uptake, which showed leaf levels with lower levels of Mg when compared with those considered as appropriate.
Keywords: Citrus sinensis, nitrogen, composted sewage sludge.
