<br/><br/> <br/><br/>ABSTRACT<br/><br/>Annona crassiflora Mart. presents medicinal and food potential, and is also used in the recovery<br/>of degraded areas, however, little is known about its nutritional requirements. The aim of this<br/>work was to analyze the initial growth of A. crassiflora submitted to nitrogen and potassium<br/>fertilization. The experiment was conducted with a complete randomized block design with four<br/>replicates, each consisting of five nitrogen and potassium doses (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg dm-3).<br/>Results were submitted to regression analysis. The species showed significant response for<br/>nitrogen fertilization regarding biometric variables, biomass, DQI and nutritional contents at<br/>doses of 100 to 200 mg dm-3. On the other hand, potassium only influenced DQI, nutritional<br/>content and accumulation of A. crassiflora seedlings.<br/><br/>Keywords: seedlings, nitrogen doses, potassium doses.
