Adubação de plantas nativas do Cerrado

Abstract

The Cerrado has several species of native plants which are extremely important for the economy. They are recognized by traditional populations and researchers. In this context, actions are needed that can recover and conserve native Cerrado species. The objective of this work was to gather a wide base of information to create a suggestion of fertilization for the main native plants of the cerrado. It consisted of a bibliographic research to survey works in the literature. Most of the soils incorporated into the productive process of native forests are very poor in nutrients and due to this lack, it is necessary to carry out soil correction, aiming to neutralize excess aluminum and making the necessary nutrients available. To be successful, it requires investment in correction and fertilization practices. It is necessary to carry out chemical analyzes in depth of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm, for possible liming and plastering. Nutrient doses may vary depending on the soil characteristics. The main sources of fertilization for these plants were formulations of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium (NPK) associated with micronutrients. Thus, with soil amendments and an adequate supply of nutrients, fruit and seed production can be improved for better conservation of the Cerrado biome.
