“…Evaluating the influence of various substrates and two fertilizer formulations on the development of yellow passion fruit seedlings, Silva et al (2001) claim that Osmocote ® promoted the greatest development of the seedlings, followed by 4-14-8 NPK. The use of slow-release fertilizer proved to be efficient in the production of seedlings of citrus (Almeida et al, 2012), avocado (Costa et al, 2011), pineapple (Freitas et al, 2011), banana (Rodrigues et al, 2019), papaya (Serrano et al, 2010) and tamarind (Santos et al, 2018). For sugar apple, there is a lack of studies using slow-release fertilizers in different organic substrates.…”
