ADUBAÇÃO DO PIMENTÃO (Capsicum annuum) COM A MANIPUEIRA E SEUS EFEITOS: UMA REVISÃO

Abstract

Introduction: Manipueira is an extremely harmful waste to the environment when improperly discarded, however, its use as a biofertilizer in agriculture is possible because it has considerable amounts of macro and micronutrients. Objective: The aim of this study was to carry out an integrative literature review in order to understand the fertilization of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) with manipueira and its effects. Materials and Methods: A search of the references was carried out in the CAPES Periodicals, Google Scholar databases in January 2021. The search allowed the identification of three articles that met the established criteria. Results: From the data analysis it was possible to verify that 67% of the articles mentioned that it was proven that the addition of manipueira as fertilizer in the pepper planting had a positive result in the development of the fruit and 33% of the articles mentioned that although the Manipueira presents advantages within the agricultural theme, requires a more cautious approach, since research and legislation are still incipient, both in Brazil and in other parts of the world. Conclusion: The effects of fertilization of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum) with cassava tree promoted the best result for length and diameter of fruit at a dose of 20mL. Doses above 20mL reduced the number, length and diameter of sweet pepper fruits.
