Abstract
Noni fruit has been used since antiquity for treatment of many diseases such as allergy, arthritis, asthma, cancer, depression, diabetes, digestion, hypertension, and insomnia and is used as food supplement. Although these properties and its intercontinental adaptability, information about nutrient exigency and crop management is still little frequent in international and national literature. In this direction an experiment was carried out, during the period of July/2009 to July/2010, in Sao Luis, Maranhao state, Brazil, in order to evaluate effects of manure and potassium fertilization of the soil on mineral composition in leaves dry matter of noni plants. The treatments were arranged in randomized blocks 2 x 4 referring to absence and presence potassium fertilization (130 kg ha-1 K2O) in soil with bovine manure levels (0, 1.7, 6.6 e 11.6 kg plant -1) 1 Engenheiro Agronomo, Dr., Professor da Unidade de Estudos de Agronomia, Universidade Estadual do Maranhao, Cidade Universitaria Paulo VI, Bairro Sao Cristovao, Caixa-postal 09, CEP 65000-000, Sao Luis (MA), Brasil. jjj_mendes@hotmail.com 2 Engenheiro Agronomo, Dr., Professor do Programade PosGraduacao em Agronomia, Centro de Ciencias Agrarias, Univiersidade Federal da Paraiba, Campus II, Cidade Univiersitaria, Rodovia BR 079, Km 12, CEP 58397-000, Areia (PB), Brasil. lofeca@cca.ufpb.br 3 Engenheiro Agronomo, Professor do Instituto Federal de Educacao, Ciencia e Tecnologia do Ceara, Campus Tiangua, Rodovia CE 187, CEP 62320-000, Tiangua (CE), Brasil. adeilson.nascimento@ifce.edu.br 4 Engenheira Agronoma, Dra., Professora do Centro de Ciencias Humanas Sociais e Agrarias, Universidade Federal da Paraiba, Campus III, Cidade universitaria, CEP 58220-000, Bananeiras (PB), Brasil. belisia.diniz@gmail.com 5 Engenheiro Agronomo, Doutorando do Programa de Pos-Graduacao em Fitotecnia, Departamento de Fitotecnia, Universidade Federal de Vicosa, Cidade Universitaria, CEP 36570-000, Vicosa (MG), Brasil. gusluso@hotmail.com Recebido para publicacao em 22/05/2012 e aceito em 23/05/2013
