Adubação verde com feijão mungo na viabilidade agroeconômica da hortelã.

Abstract

The use of green fertilize constituted in a viable alternative to be utilized by farmers that produce on organic system, due to the great benefits which the practice offers. Two experiments were conducted at experimental Rafael Fernandes Farm, in Alagoinha district, Mossoró-RN countryside, in the period from August 2016 to March 2017, with the aim to study green fertilizer with bean mung in agroeconomical of mint. The experimental delineatment utilized was complete blocks causalized on factorial scheme 4 x 2, with three repetitions. The first factor was constituted by differents sowing densities of bean mung (50; 100; 150 and 200 plants m-2) and the second factor by forms of management of biomass bean mung (incorporated and on covering). The cultivar of mint utilized was the Mentha piperita. The characteristics evaluated for the mint in the first cultivation and in the regrowth were as follow: biomass hight, fresh mass, number of sauces, dry mass, substance and income oil. We also utilized economic indicators, such as: cost production, gross income, net income, return rate and profitability index. In the first cultivation, the sowing density of 150 plants m-2 contributed for the major increase in the fresh mass and number of sauces, with values of 2,508.3 g m-2 and 30.8 units m-2 respectively, about the yield of oil, the density of 200 plants m-2, it got a best result with value of 1.24 g m-2. In concern the management forms (incorporated and in covering), there wasn’t statistical difference to fresh mass, number of sauces and income oil. For the regrowth of mint, the sowing density of 50 plants m-2 of bean mung caused the major increase in the characteristics dry mass and number sauces with values of 922.6 g m-2 and 9.2 units m-2 respectively. For oil income (0.78 g m-2), the best sowing density was 100 plants m-2 of bean mung. In concern management forms (incorporated and on covering) we observed superiority of management form on covering for fresh mass, number of sauces and oil income. The best economical efficiency was observed on sowing density 200 plants m-2 with gross income (R$ 4,519.80), net income (R$ 2,543.58) and profitability index (54.9 %). For rate return (R$ 2.70) on density of 150 plants m-2. In the management forms of biomass (incorporated and in covering), observed only statistical difference to a rate return on density of 150 plants m-2, with values of R$ 2.7 and 2.2, respectively. The utilization of bean mung showed economical efficiency like green fertilizer in the cultivation of mint.
