The effect of density and fertilization on heart-of-palm yield of peach palm under field conditions was determined at Yuricam farm, in Rio Preto da Eva counnty, state of Amazonia, Brazil. The experiment was installed in a randomized complete block design. Treatments were arranged in a 3 x 5 factorial scheme with three replicates. Treatments were comprised of the planting density (10,000; 5,000 and 3,333 plants ha-1) and N, P2O5 and K2O doses (0-0-0; 112.5-12.5-90; 337.5-38-270; 225-90-180 and 225-25-180 kg ha-1). The results of the first year […]

This experiment was carried out in Santa Barbara county, Minas Gerais State, Brazil to evaluate the effect of plant population (PP) on nutrient accumulation and distribution in Eucalyptus grandis. Plant population varied from 500 to 5,000 trees ha-1, laid out in a randomized block design with three replicates. The assessments were performed when the trees were 31 month-old, by sampling tissues from the above ground components of an average tree per plot, forest floor, and soil to the depth of […]
