Desenvolvimento inicial de jurubeba (Solanum paniculatum L.) em substratos contendo resíduos orgânicos e calcário

Abstract

Solanum paniculatum is a perennial shrub, present throughout tropical America. The Solanum paniculatum has a therapeutic potential, being popularly used in the treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. The objective of this study was to verify the development of Solanum paniculatum on substrates containing organic waste and limestone. The factors studied were four substrates: soil (5.7 kg), soil + bed semidecomposed chicken (4.16 g kg-1), soil + castor cake (0.83 g kg-1) and soil + organosuper ® (4.16 g kg-1), all with and without limestone addition. Treatments were arranged in a 4x2, in a randomized block experimental design with four replications. The largest leaf area (714.06 cm2 / plant) was observed with the use of lime and poultry litter, and higher fresh mass of leaves (26.66 g / plant), with use of poultry litter. The increase in weight (20.62 g / plant) and dry sheets (4.14 g / plant) was observed with the use of lime. The addition of organic waste and limestone positively contributed to the initial development of Solanum paniculatum.
