VELOCIDADE E TEMPO DE DECOMPOSIÇÃO DA JITIRANA INCORPORADA NA CULTURA DO RABANETE

Abstract

The experiment was carried out at a greenhouse of Plant Science Department of the Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA), Mossoró-RN, with the objective of determing the effect green manuring with scarlet starglory incorporated to with soil on radish production. A completely randomized desing with six treatments and four replications. The treatments consist of: T1 (scarlet starglory incorporated 0 days ; T2 (scarlet starglory incorporated 7 days); T3 (scarlet starglory incorporated 14 days); T4 (scarlet starglory incorporated 21 days); T5 (scarlet starglory incorporated 28 days); T6 - Control (no fertilized soil). The evaluated traits were: plant height, Horizontal and vertical diameter of the root (mm), shoot fresh and dry mass (g); roots fresh and dry mass (g). The decomposition times of seven days was what provided the best height, and the other characteristics oscillated among 21 to 28 days.
