Initial growth of physic nut as a function of sources and doses of organic fertilizers

Abstract: Organic fertilization provides low cost, supplemental nutrition for plant production. This study aimed to determine the best source and dose of organic fertilizer on the growth of physic nut (Jatropha curcas L.), a potential biodiesel producer. Physic nut seedlings were transplanted to 18 dm 3 black plastic pots filled with soil mixed with four sources of organic fertilizer (chicken, fish, cattle manure or urban waste compost) at four dose levels (50, 100, 200 or 400 L m -3). Fertilized and control (no fertili… Show more

“…In a general manner, these results are similar to the ones obtained by HIGASHIKAWA et al (2010) and SCHULZ et al (2012). In our study, CM showed higher contents of total C and N, K and C/N ratio when compared with CMV and CMS.…”

“…At 112 days, these forms of N represented as far as 98% (116mg N kg -1 of soil), 99% (134mg N kg -1 of soil) and 99% (118mg N kg -1 of soil) of the total mineral N (N-NH 4 + e N-NO 2 -+ N-NO 3 -) on treatments CMV, CMS and CM, respectively. According to SCHULZ et al (2012), the higher mineralization of N-NO 2 -and N-NO 3 -in the beginning of the development cycle of a crop, when the nutrient absorption capability of the plant is low, possibly leading to losses of this element in the soil.…”

“…In general, it is recommended to apply doses of fertilizers recommended for other crops, and it is necessary to test recommendations based on results of soil analysis, which can widely vary according to the studied environment. One of the promising alternatives for jatropha fertilization is the use of organic material, like cattle manure (Sop et al, 2011;Schulz et al, 2012) and oilseed cakes , or through the application of mineral nitrogen (Prates et al, 2011), phosphate (Carvalho et al, 2013) and potassium (Freiberg et al, 2014) fertilizers, which can be used individually or associated with organic fertilizers (Hussein et al, 2012). The limitations for the availability of nutrients, such as N and P, in the beginning of the vegetative growth can result in restrictions for the formation of the root system and shoots (Silva et al, 2009), as well as for the crop reproductive stage (Pereira et al, 2011).…”

“…, the use of 12 kg hole -1 of cattle manure guarantees good production. In experiments conducted in pots, Schulz et al (2012) recommended the dose of 200 L m -3 of cattle manure for the full growth of jatropha plants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different recommendations of organic and phosphate fertilization suggested according to the soil analysis on the vegetative growth and production components of jatropha plants cultivated in pots and irrigated.…”

“…Alocação de nutrientes entre caule, folha e inflorescência de pinhão-manso Introduction Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is a plant species in Euphorbiaceae family, native to Central or South America (Suriharn et al, 2011;Schulz et al, 2012;Fernandes et al, 2013;Lima et al, 2014a). The capacity to adapt to different environments allows the presence of jatropha plants in a wide range of tropical and subtropical areas worldwide (Joshi et al, 2011).…”
