Sheep manure fertilization in Mimosa caesalpiniifolia in an Albaquult

ABSTRACT The use of organic fertilizers can increase the production forest species for extraction wood from monoculture stands or integrated systems. This study aimed to evaluate effect applying doses sheep manure on biometric traits Mimosa caesalpiniifolia (‘sabiá’) in a silviculture system an area previously occupied by native degraded pasture Albaquult. experimental design was randomized blocks with four repetitions, treatments corresponding five per plant: 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12 kg first year, while second year double (0, 16 32 plant) were applied as topdressing under canopy. following variables evaluated: height (H); root collar diameter (RCD); at breast (DBH); above-ground dry weight (AGDW); accumulation nutrients (aerial part); soil fertility. plants responsive fertilization regarding H, DBH, AGDW. increased mean values pH, P, K, Ca, Mg, SB, CEC, BS, S-SO4 2- Zn, reduced potential acidity 0-0.20 m layer. matter variable up dose 13.70 plant. rates macro micronutrients ‘sabiá’ N > Ca K Mg P S Fe Mn B Zn Cu, respectively.
