Integrated management of the fertilization for Tithonia diversifolia forage production
Main Article Content
Abstract
The effect of the integrated management of the fertilization with biofertilizer, organic manure and nitrogen fertilizer on Tithonia diversifolia forage production was evaluated. A total of nine treatments (application of 0, 70 and 100 kg N ha-1; 0, 70 and 100 kg N ha-1 plus the coinoculation with Azospirillum brasilense and Rhizoglomus irregulare, and 0, 70 and 100 kg N ha-1 combine with the coinoculation with both biofertilizer plus the application of 25 t ha-1 cattle manure) were studied in a random block design with four repetitions. The inoculum with R. irregulare was applied using the Canavalia ensiformis as precedent crop and way for the reproduction of mycorrhizal propagules in the soil for Tithonia inoculation, and the inoculum with A. brasilense, at 15 d after Tithonia planting, at a rate of 20 L ha-1.The manure increased (p<0.01) the contents of OM, assimilable P and k interchangeable of the soil. Their application, combine with the coinoculation with both biofertilizer, caused the higher levels of mycorrhizal colonization, concentrations and extractions of N, P and K in the aerial biomass and yields higher (p<0.01) to those reached with the nitrogen fertilization, alone or with the biofertilizer (24 t DM ha-1). It is concluded that the integrated management of the fertilization by the application of cattle manure and the coinoculation with A. brasilense and R. irregulare is effective to increase the yield of Tithonia forage, reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizer and improve the soil fertility.
