Résumé:
Raphanus sativus L. is a vegetable belonging to the Brassicaceae family, which has a short cycle
of approximately 30 days. The plant has a good economic and nutritional importance, as they
contain a high nutritional value. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity of
Raphanus sativus, grown in pots using goat and bovine organic substrate with different
percentages, as well as to observe the best source of fertilization for greater productive
performance. The experiment was conducted at the Olho D'água Novo site, Picuí, Paraíba, from
June 7 to July 12, 2022. The experimental design was completely randomized, containing five
treatments, with T1 = Soil only; T2 = Soil + 10% cattle manure; T3 = Soil + 20% cattle manure;
T4 = Soil + 10% goat manure and T5 = Soil + 20% goat manure with four replications, totaling
20 experimental plots. The productivity of Raphanus sativus L. had a better performance in
treatments T3 = Soil + 20% bovine manure and T5 = Soil + 20% goat manure, due to the higher
percentage of organic matter contained in the substrate. It is concluded that the recommended
source of organic matter is that contained in the T5 treatment with goat manure in its composition.
The percentage of the most suitable organic fertilizer for growing Raphanus sativus in pots is
20%. The occurrence of insect pests in the crop did not reach 10%, which would be the level of
economic damage to the crop.
