Produção agroecológica do consórcio de rúcula com rabanete sob diferentes fontes de adubos orgânicos.

Abstract

Given the need to look for alternatives that enable the adoption of organic fertilization in the intercropped vegetable cultivation, the objective was to study the agroecological production of the arugula and radish intercropping under different sources of organic fertilizers. The experiment had a completely randomized block design in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme with three replications. The first factor was the single and intercropped cultivation of arugula and radish. The second factor is the different types of organic fertilizers (without fertilizer; cattle manure (3.0 kg m-2); carnauba straw (3.0 kg m-2); and the mix (3.0 kg m-2), consisting of a mixture of cattle manure and carnauba straw in a 1: 1 ratio), thus consisting of twelve treatments per block. The characteristics evaluated for arugula culture were plant height, number of leaves, yield, number of sauces and dry mass. For radish cultivation were Plant Height, Root Length, Root Diameter, Commercial Root Productivity, Number of Sauces, Dry Root Mass. The results show that the organic fertilizers used presented good productive performance in both crops when used in the intercrop of arugula with radish and the intercropping of arugula with the radish distributed between them was inferior to the single system.
