Performance evaluation of phonolite through mineral form and enrichment of filter cake in sugarcane ratoon

In order to evaluate the performance of phonolite as a source of potassium in fertilization management of sugarcane ratoon through mineral and organo-mineral forms, an experiment was installed in November of 2011 in Casa Branca, SP, Brazil, in soil type red-yellow Latosol Dystrophic medium texture, with variety SP 801816, in third yield, harvested mechanically with no fire. The experiment was designed using random blocks with four replications. The treatments were: T1-Control; T2- Mineral Phonolite 8.5% dose 70 kg ha-1 of K2O; T3- Mineral Phonolite 8.5% dose 100 kg ha-1 of K2O; T4- Mineral Phonolite 8.5% dose 130 kg ha-1 of K2O; T5- Mineral Phonolite ...
