ADUBAÇÃO POTÁSSICA DE CULTIVARES DE Megathyrsus maximus

Nativa
O potássio é o segundo macronutriente mais absorvido pelas plantas, podendo limitar a resposta da produção de forrageiras, principalmente as de maior exigência nutricional. O objetivo foi identificar a dose de potássio mais adequada para o desenvolvimento de cultivares de Megathyrsus maximus (Zuri, Tamani, Massai e Mombaça). O trabalho foi realizado na
