Abstract: The (Parkia pendula (Willd.) Benth. ex Walp.) species most know as visgueiro is a native specie from the Amazon region, belongs to the family Fabaceae-mimosoideae and has been scientifically studied because it is used in landscape projects and the restoration of degraded areas. Intrinsic responses of this species due to water stress is still very superficial, lacking a larger scientific approach in nitrogen and oxidative parameters. For this, a greenhouse experiment was set up in the Federal Rural University of Amazon with seedlings, where they were submitted to water restriction. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2 × 3 factorial design (control and water deficit, and three evaluation times), with 5 replications, totaling 30 experimental units. The results showed that the RWC reduced during the experiment from 73.5% to 52.99%, evidencing a lower amount of water in these plants. This condition caused the plants to respond positively to the increase of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, APX and SOD), making the plant defense system efficient. As well as for some variables of nitrogen metabolism. The results showed that the RWC reduced during the experiment from 73.5% to 52.99%, evidencing a lower amount of water in these plants. This condition caused the plants to respond positively to the increase of antioxidant enzymes (catalase, APX and SOD), making the plant defense system efficient. As well as for some variables of nitrogen metabolism. The species in this experimental condition was considered as sensitive to the water stress condition.
