Abstract
The Nutripel is a Canadian fertilizer product made from starting from several microorganisms that are used to digest the mire of residual municipal that have dried off and compacted to high temperatures. In the 2008 was registered in the Central Registration of Cuba Fertilizers. In 2009 the effect of growing dose of Nutripel was studied in indicators of seedlings development of coffees (Coffea arabica L.) and cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) in comparison with a witness (soil/organic manure 3/1 + foliate urea). Starting from the doses recommended by the maker 1 g • kg soil-1, the doses 0,5;1; 1,5; 2; 2,5 and 3 g • kg soil-1 were studied. The bio-fertilizer effect was evaluated in the height, couple of leaves, dry mass, and root length’s in seedlings taken place by seeds. There was positive effect of the Nutripel in the growth of the coffees seedlings. The Nutripel applications in dose of 0,5 g • kg soil-1 propitiated similar values statistically to those reached in soil organic manure in mixture 3/1 for the height, diameter of the shaft, couple of leaves, top dry mass and radical and foliar area. The lengthy of the root was superior statistically in 24 % the treatment with Nutripel. Superior dose to the 2 g • kg soil-1 had a depressive effect in the diameter of the shaft, the lengthy of the root, the air dry mass and radical. In the cocoa the effect of the Nutripel in the evaluated indicators was positive but of smaller intensity that in the coffee. Starting from the dose of 2,5 g of Nutripel • kg-1 of soil a depressive effect was observed in the couples of leaves, the dry weight of leaves, shaft and root as well as the foliar area of the seedlings of cocoa.
