| Abstract:
Aiming to study the effect of some leguminous plants as green manure to the papaya planting, it was set up an assay in a yellow-red podzolic soil in a region with climate classified as As (Köppen) average annual rainfall 1200mm and 25°C as mean year temperature. It were used five treatments: 1. Papaya intercropped with Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata); 2. Papaya intercropped with feijão-de-porco (Canavalia ensiformis); 3. Papaya intercropped with mucuna-preta (Stizolobium aterrinum); 4. Papaya with lab-lab (Dolichos lablab); 5. Single papaya (control). The cultivar was Sunrise solo which seedlings were previously produced in polybags. All intercopped papaya trees received periodically fertilizers with N and P. It was observed that S. aterrinum and C. ensiformis give striking results related to soil covering and wet matter. At the production of papaya trees there was no significant diference among the treatments, although, the best one were the S. aterrinum and C. ensiformis. | |
