Abstract:The rational use of correctives and fertilizers in banana orchards depends on reliable standards for interpreting soil fertility. The study aimed to establish critical levels (CL) for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in the soil of banana plantations in Santa Catarina, using the Boundary Line (BL) method. A database with information of soil chemical analysis and fruit yield obtained from orchards in producing regions was used. Scatter plots were obtained relating P and K concentration in the soil extracted by … Show more
