Abstract

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate different organic substrates and phosphorus doses on the growth and leaf content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in rootstocks of Tamarindus indica L. The experiment was performed in a greenhouse nursery located on the campus of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), from March to October 2013. The treatments consisted of three organic sources at a concentration of 40% (v/v) (bovine manure, goat manure and a commercial organic compound) and four doses of simple superphosphate (0, 0 kg m-3, 2.5 kg m-3, 5.0 kg m-3 and 7.5 kg m-3). The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD), with 12 treatments (substrates), four replications and 10 plants per plot, totaling 480 plants. The goat manure and the organic compound were the most suitable treatments for the production of rootstocks of the tamarind tree. The maximum dose of 7.5 g kg-1 of simple superphosphate caused the highest levels of phosphorus and potassium in the dry mass of shoots. The nutrients in the dry matter of shoots accumulated in the following order: N > K > P.RESUMO: Com o objetivo de avaliar diferentes substratos orgânicos, doses de fósforo no crescimento e teor foliar de nitrogênio, fósforo e potássio em portaenxertos de Tamarindus indica L., conduziu-se um experimento em um viveiro telado localizado no campus da Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), no período de março a outubro de 2013. Os tratamentos constaram de: três fontes orgânicas na proporção de 40 % v.v1, (esterco bovino, esterco caprino e um composto orgânico comercial) em quatro doses de superfosfato simples (0,0 kg m-3, 2,5 kg m-3, 5,0 kg m-3, 7,5 kg m-3). O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento de blocos casualizados (DBC), com 12 tratamentos (substratos), quatro repetições e 10 plantas por parcela, perfazendo um total de 480 plantas. O esterco caprino e o composto orgânico foram os mais adequados para a produção de portaenxerto de tamarindeiro. A dose máxima de 7,5 g kg-1 de superfosfato simples proporcionou os maiores teores de fósforo e potássio na massa seca da parte aérea. O acúmulo de nutrientes na massa seca da parte aérea obedece a seguinte ordem: N > K > P.
