Abstract

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of different doses of biochar (BC) obtained from cocoa pod husk (BCC) and banana stalk (BCB) in association with several organic manures on growth of succession plants. To determine the effects, it was established a completely randomized design, composed of treatments T1 (15 g of BCC), T2 (30 g of BCC), T3 (30 g of BCB), T4 (30 g of BCB) in mixture with 100 g of SiO2 and 500 ml of biol. Treatments T5 and T6 consisted of 60 g BCC and 60 g BCB + 50 ml of Trichoderma spp. and 50 ml of biol (T5) and treatment T7 consisted of 100 g of SiO2. In all treatments with BC the increase of soil pH was achieved but only in T1 a value >pH 6 was reached. Plant height and pseudostem thickness at the end of the experiment were very homogeneous in the biochar treatments and higher than those obtained in the control treatment. The effect of biochar on the number of leaves at the end of the experiment ranged from 9 to 11 leaves, a favorable result for obtaining an optimal bunch for export.
