Abstract:To support rural extension activities for family farming in the western Amazon, we evaluated the production of Mombasa grass (Panicum maximum Jacq) as a function of phosphorus sources (single superphosphate and calcined bone meal) and rates (100, 200, and 400 kg ha -1 P2O5). The experimental design was a randomized complete block, in a 2x3+1 factorial scheme. The use of calcined bone meal yielded a dry matter (1.73 t ha -1 cutting -1 ) and a plant height (55 cm) higher than the control (1.03 t ha -1 cutting -1… Show more
