Phosphorus Fertilization In Culture Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) In The Region Of Brazilian Savanna.

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas L.) is a perennial dicot originated in Central America, being found in almost all tropical areas, occurring on a larger scale in tropical and temperate regions and to a lesser extent in cold regions. The Nutrient participates in the structure and several key molecules in metabolism and membrane component (phospholipid) of RNA, DNA, ATP, esters of carbohydrates among other molecules. In view of the above, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of phosphorus fertilization, in different doses, in the  culture of Jatropha This experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of the Teaching and Research of the Faculty of Engineering of Ilha Solteira - UNESP, located in Selvíria - MS. The experimental design was randomized blocks, 4 treatments and 3 replicates. The treatments were 4 different doses of P and doses: 0, 30, 60 and 120 kg ha^-1 of P. Concluded that plant development was affected with the application of increasing doses of P.
