<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Abstract<br/><br/>Annona crassiflora is a medicinal species and source of food with little information about its nutritional requirements<br/>during the initial phase. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate liming, phosphate fertilization and<br/>its interaction in A. crassiflora seedlings. The experiment was in a 4 × 4 factorial scheme with four replications<br/>in a randomized block design. The base saturations were: 8.3%, 25%, 50% and 75% and phosphorus: 0 mg dm-3,<br/>100 mg dm-3, 200 mg dm-3 and 400 mg dm-3. The variables evaluated were biometrics, biomass and nutritional<br/>analysis. The species responded to the factors in isolation, and the increase in base saturation levels and phosphorus<br/>doses promoted significant effects for biometric variables, biomass, calcium, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus<br/>and potassium content. The saturation level promoted the best results, being 75% base saturation, while the highest<br/>phosphorus dosage was 400 mg dm-3.<br/><br/>Keywords: marolo, forest nutrition, seedling formation, nutritional requirement.
