Cultivations coriander in different sources of organic fertilization

Abstract

The coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) is one of the vegetables most consumed by Brazilians,
being important studies directed to its cultivation with organic fertilization. The objective of this
study was to evaluate the different organic fertilizations in coriander cultivation. The treatments
were: concentrations of bovine manure (T2 treatment), green manure derived from gliricidia
(T3), organic compound composed of plant residues and bovine manure (T4), and T1 without
fertilization, in beds of 7.0 mx 1.2 M, at the State University of Paraiba - UEPB. Plant height,
stem diameter and number of stems were evaluated at 40 days after sowing. The treatment T3
(4.22 mm) and T4 (3.46 mm) resulted in higher values of stem diameter of coriander. Treatment
T2 provided lower averages in the variables studied, and its study was recommended to apply
the appropriate dose of bovine manure in coriander culture. From the obtained data the compound
treatments with gliricidia provided better means, besides environmental sustainability in
the management.
