Effects of two biofertilizers on sunflower development

Abstract

In this work, the influence of two biofertilizers (FitoMas-E and Bayfolan Forte) on the development of sunflower, Cubasol 113 variety, in a leached yellowish Ferralitic soil was evaluated. An experimental design was used in random blocks and an absolute control, with three fertilization treatments and five replications, in one plantation per plot. Bottom fertilization was applied with solid cow manure and NPK Complete Fertilizer before sowing to the whole experimental area. Indicators that characterize the morphological development of the crop were evaluated, resulting in significant increases in all the treatments (p < 0,01) with respect to the control, highlighting the treatment based on FitoMas-E + Bayfolan Forte.
