Análise do crescimento, desenvolvimento e produção de pimenta biquinho Capsicum Chinense Jacq em sistema de produção orgânico.

Abstract

The planting of biquinho pepper can be considered an important alternative for family farming, especially in organic and environmentally sustainable production systems. However, despite the enormous potential, studies on fertilization with the use of organic inputs for production are scarce, especially in the Brejo Paraibano micro-region. In this way, the present work sought to investigate the effect of organic fertilization on the production of biquinho pepper. Plants were grown in the field, using the following experimental design: randomized blocks in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme, where the first factor corresponded to two forms of organic fertilization (goat manure and bovine manure) and the second corresponded to five doses of cow urine in the following concentration percentages: 0%; 1.5%; 3.0%; 4.5%; and 6%, with four replications, totaling forty plots. The results showed that high concentrations of cow urine reduced fruit/plant production and consequently had a negative effect on productivity/plant, compared to increasing doses of cow and goat manure, with a lower concentration of this organic input being recommended in pepper fertilization. pout under field conditions.
