Solanáceas em sistema orgânico no Brasil: tomate, batata e physalis

Abstract

The brazilian scientific research geared towards organic systems still have been permeated by a logic based on the mere substitution of inputs. Lack a deepening in relation to recognition of components of production systems (ecophysiology; management and fertility of the soil; soil and water conservation; health management) and how these can be investigated holistically. Based on such gaps is discussed in this review article the main particularities related to organic production of tomatoes and potatoes, main oleráceas of the nightshade family, Solanaceae, and an exotic fruit potential for organic systems, the physalis (Physalis peruviana L.).
