“…Most studies on carnauba have evaluated the carnauba bagana waste generated from the agro-industrial process of extracting wax from carnauba leaves (Albano et al, 2017). Oliveira et al (2021b) tested the inclusion of decomposed biomass of buriti palm (20, 40, 60, 80, and 100%) with soil on the biometric parameters of cassava seedlings and observed better conditions for shoot development and survival, and higher levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, K, Ca, and Mg in seedlings. The authors concluded that decomposed biomass of buriti palm is a viable and sustainable input for cassava seedling production.…”

In the Amazon-Cerrado ecotone, increased costs from non-organic inputs and transportation render substrates more expensive, prompting the use of decomposed biomass from native palm stem for seedlig production. The study was carried out with the objective of evaluate the physicochemical characteristics of the decomposed biomass of babassu palms (BDB), carnauba (BDC), and buriti (BBU) compared to the commercial substrate (SC) via multivariate analysis. This study employed a database comprising 90 substrates, obtained from Maranhão, Brazil farms. These samples underwent physicochemical characterization following the Brazilian protocol for seedling substrates. The substrates based on BDB and BDC have pH and nutrient contents at acceptable values, in addition to lower potential acidity and high base saturation compared to BBU and SC substrates. Principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering revealed similarities between BDB, BDC and SC. Biomass decomposed from the stems of babassu and carnauba palms is recommended as an alternative substrate for seedling producers in the in the Amazon-Cerrado ecotone.
