Organic faming of coriander in no-tillage system fertilized with compost using dead and living mulching

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the agronomic behavior of the cilantro in organic no-tillage system under alive and dead mulching and fertilized with doses of compost. The experimental design was randomized blocks, in a split-plot arrangement with four replications. The plot corresponded to the planting system (no-tillage with live mulching of Arachis pintoi, with live mulching of native weed, with mulching of straw and conventional tillage). In each plot the split-plot were represented by the doses of organic compost 10; 20 e 30 t ha^-1 of dry compost. The no-tillage system with straw and conventional tillage showed the best results in all variables in the plant compared with no-tillage systems with live mulching of peanut crop and native weed. Cilantro answered linearly to fertilization, with yields of 4,554 t ha^-1 to 6,542 t ha^-1 when fertilized with 10 to 30 t ha^-1, respectively.
