Biometric variable of sugar cane fertilized with organic and industrial residues irrigated with potable and wastewater

The agricultural use of organic and industrial residues is an alternative of exploitation with fertilization and source of organic matter to the soil. In this direction, the objective of this research was to evaluate the use of the urban solid waste and biofertilizer as nutrient source, and residue of the bauxite processing as agricultural liming materials of the soil for sugar cane (cane plant) and culture yields, irrigated with potable water and wastewater. For in such an experiment in vase was lead, under Alfisol soil, cultivated with the variety RB855536. It had been evaluated biometric variable of the plant such as: plant height, diameter of stem, tillering, leaf number, dry matter of the root and dry matter of the aerial part. The data showed that the quality of the irrigation water, potable and wastewater, did not influence the evaluated parameters. The application of urban solid waste and biofertilizer had consisted in an efficient source of nutrients for sugar cane plants, but is necessary to apply additional fertilizer for the attainment of stem production similar to the treatment with conventional mineral fertilization. Now the residue of the bauxite processing revealed efficient in the correction of the acidity presenting similar physical parameters to the treatment with mineral fertilization and lime, with exception of the dry matter of the root.
