Production of Beauregard Sweet Potato in vertical farming under different fertilization technologies

Ipomoea batatas, popularly known as sweet potato, is a species of the Convolvulaceae family, with probable origin between Mexico and northern South America. Among genotypes economic potential, biofortified cultivar Beauregard (Ipomoea batatas) stands out due to its rusticity easy handling. Controlled-release fertilizers were mostly used in studies developed other countries, their study being necessary Brazilian soil climatic conditions. This aimed evaluate development cultivar, submitted different fertilization technologies vertical farming system. The plantlets received doses controlled-release fertilizer: 0.0 (control); 30; 60; 90; 120g dose 40g per pit NPK 13-13-28 ready solubility. At 180 days, biometric production parameter data collected regression analysis variance followed by Scott-Knott test for mean separation. application fertilizer showed positive effect on studied favoring performance plants promoting increase especially height, length branches number leaves. base at 30g plant traditional promote higher yields dry mass shoots root when compared unfertilized cultivation potatoes farming.
