Resumen
Introducción: la salvia morada es un subarbusto aromático, que crece de modo
espontáneo en América Central y del Sur. Frecuentemente es cultivada en jardines
como ornamental, por su intenso aroma y sus propiedades medicinales y culinarias.
No se encontraron estudios sobre parámetros nutricionales en esta especie.
Objetivos: determinar las bioconcentraciones foliares de elementos minerales en
Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Br. ex Britton & P. Wilson que crece naturalmente en el
bioambiente del norte de la provincia de Corrientes.
Métodos: se evaluaron muestras foliares de plantas de Lippia alba de más de 2 años
de implantación. Las variables analizadas fueron las concentraciones foliares de
nitrógeno, fósforo, potasio, azufre, cinc, cobre, hierro y manganeso. La determinación
de nitrógeno se realizó mediante el método de Kjeldhal; el fósforo y azufre por
espectrometría de absorción molecular, y el resto de los elementos por
espectrometría de absorción atómica. Para el análisis de los resultados se aplicaron
herramientas de estadística descriptiva, mediante el programa Infostat.
Resultados: las bioconcentraciones foliares de esta especie variaron entre 2,39 y
2,33 % de N; 0,2-0,4 % de P; 1,0-3,0 % de K; 0,12-0,49 % de S; 150-300 ppm de
Fe, 150-300 ppm de Mn, hasta 50 ppm de Zn; y hasta 70 ppm de Cu. Las
concentraciones foliares medias de nitrógeno, manganeso y cobre resultaron mayores
en los meses de primavera y verano decreciendo en los meses de otoño e invierno.
Las concentraciones foliares medias de fósforo y potasio se presentaron constantes
durante los 3 años. El azufre, el hierro y el cinc, se acumularon en las hojas,
especialmente en los meses de invierno.
Conclusiones: se observaron variaciones estacionales de las concentraciones foliares
medias estudiadas.
Introduction: purple salvia is an aromatic shrub that grows wild in Central and South America. It is often found in gardens for ornamental purposes, due to its strong fragrance and medicinal and culinary properties. No studies were found about nutritional parameters for this species. Objectives: determine the foliar bioconcentrations of mineral elements in Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Br. ex Britton & P. Wilson, naturally growing in the bio-environment of the north of Corrientes province. Methods: an evaluation was conducted of foliar samples of Lippia alba of more than 2 years after planting. The variables analyzed were foliar concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, zinc, copper, iron and manganese. Nitrogen was determined by the Kjeldahl method, phosphorus and sulfur by molecular absorption spectrometry, and the rest of the elements by atomic absorption spectrometry. Descriptive statistics tools were used for the analysis of results, which was based on the InfoStat program. Results: foliar bioconcentrations ranged between 2.39 and 2.33 % N, 0.2-0.4 % P, 1.0-3.0 % K, 0.12-0.49 % S, 150-300 ppm Fe, 150-300 ppm Mn, up to 50 ppm Zn, and up to 70 ppm Cu. Mean foliar concentrations of nitrogen, manganese and copper were higher in spring and summer months, and lower in autumn and winter months. Mean foliar concentrations of phosphorus and potassium remained stable throughout the 3 years. Concentration of sulfur, iron and zinc in leaves was higher in winter months. Conclusions: seasonal variations were found in the mean foliar concentrations studied.
