A B S T R A C TAs a strategy to minimize N losses in the soil, mineral N sources, such as polymer-coated urea, have been studied as possibility to increase the synchronization of N release by the fertilizer and its absorption by plants. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the contents of macronutrients and the production of Formosa papaya as a function of sources and doses of N fertilizer applied as top-dressing in the region of Bom Jesus-PI, Brazil. The treatments were arranged in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme corresponding to N sources (coated urea and conventional urea) and N doses (350, 440, 530 and 620 g plant -1 of N), with four replicates and four plants per plot. The contents of macronutrients in the leaf dry matter and fruit production were evaluated. The sources and doses of top-dressing N fertilization incremented the leaf contents of macronutrients and the production of Formosa papaya hybrid Caliman 01. Under the experimental conditions and based on the macronutrient contents considered as adequate for crop nutrition, associated with maximum fruit production (8.08 kg plant -1 ), the supply of 525 g of N plant -1 is recommended in the form of coated urea.Estado nutricional e produção do mamoeiro Formosa em função da aplicação de ureia protegida e convencional R E S U M O Como estratégia para minimizar as perdas de N no solo tem-se estudado fontes minerais de N-fertilizantes protegidas com polímeros a partir das quais é possível aumentar o sincronismo entre a liberação do nutriente pelo fertilizante e sua absorção pela planta. Neste sentido teve-se, como objetivo, avaliar os teores dos macronutrientes e a produção do mamoeiro Formosa em função de fontes e doses de N-fertilizante aplicadas em cobertura na região de Bom Jesus, PI. Os tratamentos foram dispostos em esquema fatorial 2 x 4 correspondentes a fontes de nitrogênio (ureia protegida e ureia convencional) e doses de nitrogênio (350, 440, 530 e 620 g planta -1 de N) com quatro repetições e quatro plantas por parcela. Avaliaram-se os teores de macronutrientes na massa seca foliar e a produção de frutos. As fontes e doses de adubação nitrogenada em cobertura incrementam as concentrações foliares de macronutrientes e a produção do mamoeiro Formosa híbrido Caliman 01. Nas condições em que o experimento foi desenvolvido e considerando os teores de macronutrientes admitidos como adequados para a nutrição da cultura associada à produção máxima de frutos (8,08 kg planta -1 ) recomenda-se o fornecimento de 525 g planta -1 de N na forma de ureia protegida.
