Abstract
The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of doses of organic matter and single superphosphate on the production of yellow passion fruit ( Passiflora edulis Sims f. flavicarpa Deg) seedlings. An experiment was carried out in a screen nursery at 50% shading, at the Agricultural Production Sector , Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso do Sul, Cassilândia (UUC), Brazil. Four doses of single superphosphate (0.0 kg.m-3; 2.5 kg.m-3; 5.0 kg.m-3; and 10.0 kg.m-3 of substratum), and three doses of organic matter (0%; 20%, and 40%) of the total volume of the substratum were tested. The organic matter was applied as poultry litter. A randomized block design with a 4 x 3 factorial scheme was used, with four replications and seven plants per plot. It was observed that the single superphosphate application at 7.7 kg.m-3 and 40% of organic matter per 1.0 m3 of substratum, provided more vigorous yellow passion fruit seedlings. KEY-WORDS: Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa ; nutrition; propagation.
