Resumen:
The jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is an oilseed that is presented as a new alternative for the
supply of oil, yet they are still necessary scientific technical information regarding
disability of organic and phosphate fertilizer recommendations. The objective of the
research was to evaluate the feasibility of different suggestions of organic and phosphate
fertilization on vegetative growth and jatropha plants produce components. In this sense an
experimental unit with factorial combination of treatments 4 x 4 will be conducted, and the
factors consisting of 4 recommendations of organic fertilizer: without fertilization (0 t ha-
1), recommended dose (4 t ha-1), since and half the recommended dose (6 t ha-1) and
twice the recommended dose (8 t ha-1), and 4 phosphate fertilizer recommendations
(absence of phosphate fertilizer (0), recommended dose (90 kg ha-1) , one and a half times
the recommended dose (135 kg ha-1) and twice the recommended dose (180 kg ha-1). We
evaluated the growth at 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 210 days after transplanting (DAT) for
containers, by measuring the plant-1 height, stem diameter, number of leaves plant-1, leaf
area plant-1 and the number of plant-1 total branches and one hundred and eighty DAT
seedlings to pots were measured growth variables and yield components, including: plant
height, number of branches, stem diameter, leaf area, number of inflorescences, number of
fruits, number of clusters, number of fruits per cluster, fruit weight, number of seed per
fruit, number of seeds per plant and total weight of seeds per plant were affected by
fertilizer recommendations. The recommendation of organic and phosphate fertilizer
suggested by soil analysis laboratory (4 t ha-1 of organic matter and 90 kg phosphorus ha-
1) was insufficient to obtain productive plants. The isolated use of organic matter in
jatropha crop fertilization promotes positive effects on growth variables and yield
components. Applying a fertilizer and a half of the dose recommended by laboratory soil
organic matter analysis, corresponding to 6 t ha-1 cattle manure, isolated or associated to
135 kg ha-1 P, it is sufficient to provide nutrient demand as N and P in the first year of
cultivation. The phosphorus fertilization associated to organic fertilization significantly
influenced plant height, number of branches, the stem diameter, leaf area, seed production
per plant and the total mass of seeds of Jatropha plants.
