Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of a compost of bovine ruminal residues to improve soil fertility and initial growth of eucalyptus cultivated in acid soil. Eucalyptus was cultivated in pots with a Hapludalf amended with 0 (Control 1), 5, 10, and 15 m3compost ha−1, and with only liming and mineral fertilization (Control 2). The compost enhanced all evaluated parameters of plant growth and soil and plant chemical analysis; overcoming, or at least equalizing to results from the Control 2. The compost can be used as alternative to liming and mineral fertilization in Eucalyptus urograndis plantations in acid soils of the Brazilian Pampa.
