Annona crassiflora Mart. presents medicinal and food potential, and is also used in the recovery of degraded areas, however, little is known about its nutritional requirements. The aim of this work was to analyze the initial growth of A. crassiflora submitted to nitrogen and potassium fertilization. The experiment was conducted with a complete randomized block design with four replicates, each consisting of five nitrogen and potassium doses (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg dm-3). Results were submitted to regression analysis. The species showed significant response for nitrogen fertilization regarding biometric variables, biomass, DQI and nutritional contents at doses of 100 to 200 mg dm-3. On the other hand, potassium only influenced DQI, nutritional content and accumulation of A. crassiflora seedlings.

This study aimed to evaluate the residual effect of phosphorus sources and application techniques in the intercropping of forages during off-season crops. The experimental design was randomized blocks in a 4 × 2 + 1 factorial, being four sources of phosphorus [Bayóvar Reactive Phosphate (BRP), Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), Simple Superphosphate (SS) and Triple Superphosphate (TS)], two application techniques (broadcasting and on rows) and an additional without phosphorus. The experiment was conducted during the off-season crop. The residual effect of phosphorus fertilization increased the growth and the production of biomass of forage sorghum regarding broadcast SS and TS sources. The lowest P contents in the tissue of plants fertilized with SS and TS may be attributed to the diluting effect, as it achieved the highest production of biomass. The application of TS favored a greater dry matter production in Brachiaria brizantha cv. Piatã. At the depth 0.00-0.05 m, there was a higher P content with the application of BRP. However, the production of biomass was low, a factor that may be related to an overestimation of P bound to Ca by the Mehlich-1 extractor. Under cultivation conditions, broadcast SS and TS had a higher residual effect.

A vinhaça é subproduto da produção de etanol que possui uma composição rica em nutrientes como o potássio. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as características agronômicas e produtivas de cultivares de tomate cereja sob aplicação de níveis de potássio fornecidos via vinhaça e adubação mineral. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados em esquema fatorial 5x2, sendo 5 níveis de vinhaça: N1 – 100% vinhaça; N2 - 80% vinhaça + 20% da adubação potássica via mineral; N3 - 60% vinhaça + 40% da adubação potássica via mineral; N4 - 40% vinhaça + 60% da adubação potássica via mineral; N5 - 20% vinhaça + 80% da adubação potássica via mineral, e os demais nutrientes foram fornecidos pela vinhaça + adubação mineral e 2 de cultivares de tomate cereja (Carolina e Isla-Pró) com 4 blocos totalizando 40 parcelas. Para análise estatística empregou-se regressão e teste de Tukey a 1 e 5% de significância. A variedade Isla Pró apresentou altura de plantas e diâmetro transversal de frutos de tomate cereja superiores. Já a variedade Carolina foi a que apresentou maior número de flores, cachos e frutos bem como, maior teor de sólidos solúveis totais, independentemente do nível de potássio fornecido via vinhaça. Níveis mais elevados de potássio fornecidos pela vinhaça promoveram maior valor no diâmetro transversal dos frutos e teor de sólidos solúveis totais.
