| Summary: | Tithonia diversifolia is a robust shrub that has high ecological plasticity
and adaptability, high capacity of nutrient absorption and high nutrient
contents. These characteristics make Tithonia diversifolia be considered as a
multi-purpose plant, such as for animal feed, soil decontamination and soil
restorer. Likewise, it is a plant with high ecological plasticity and adaptability.
The study of the nutrient absorption and the fertilization represent an
important advance in the development of productive systems focused on
maximizing forage productivity, which guarantees the soil sustainability. Based
on this, a split plot design was conducted to study the effects of different levels
of fertilization. The results showed an impact of the elements and levels of
fertilization on the nutrient absorption capacity, finding that the elements
that were incorporated in the fertilization increase the foliar contents and the
nutrient absorption in the plant. |
