Organic and mineral fertilization determining the agronomic performance of sunflower cultivars and soil chemical attributes1 1 Research developed at Universidade Estadual de Goiás, Santa Helena de Goiás, GO, Brasil

Adubação orgânica e mineral determina o desempenho agronômico de cultivares de girassol e atributos químicos do solo

HIGHLIGHTS:

Oil concentration increased in the achenes of the Sany 66 cultivar when filter cake was applied.

The short-term filter cake application enhances phosphorus availability in the 0-0.20 m soil layer.

In the nutritional management of sunflower cultivation, the application of 42 t ha-1 of filter cake can be recommended.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to verify the effect of the application of filter cake, via soil and in association with mineral fertilization, on sunflower cultivars (Helianthus annuus L.) and the chemical properties of the soil. The experimental design used was randomized blocks in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme with six replicates, totaling 36 experimental units. Three sunflower cultivars (Sany 66, Nusol 4140, and Nusol 4170) and two fertilization strategies (mineral fertilization with and without filter cake) were used. Resorting to the filter cake increased the oil concentration in Sany 66. Mineral fertilization did not significantly affect achene production, with mean values being 2561.58 kg ha-1. However, including filter cake resulted in a 21% increase in phosphorus (P) content in the 0-0.20 m soil layer in sunflower crops of the Nusol 4140 variety. Therefore, fertilization with filter cake, in combination with chemical fertilizers or alone, can be an effective strategy to increase soil P content and oil concentration in sunflower cultivation.
