Abstract:

Crambe is an oleaginous plant whose oil content in its seeds places it among one of the possible energy crops for biofuel production. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of fertilization with different forms of application and different doses of swine wastewater on crambe germination. The study was conducted in the experimental area of the Postgraduate Program in Energy in Agriculture of Unioeste - Campus Cascavel. The experimental design was randomized blocks, being an experiment with factorial arrangement 3 × 3 + 1, where the treatments had increasing doses of swine wastewater: 30, 60 and 90 m³ ha^-1, applied in the planting line in three different ways: below, along with and on the crambe seeds. The results show that the application of 30 m³ ha^-1 below the seed or in coverage increases the crambe germination rates. However, the application of doses higher than 60 m³ ha^-1 resulted in low germination rates.
