Abstract:

The search for oilseed sources to be used in the production of biodiesel has led to agronomic studies due to the different edaphoclimatic conditions of the Brazilian geographical space. This work aimed to assess the development of crambe cultures with variations in spacing, fertilization and density of sowing. The study was carried out in the municipality of Cascavel/PR in the year of 2011 from April to July. The experimental design used was trifactorial (2x3x3) in random blocks distributed in 18 treatments with 4 replications. The treatments were spacing of 0.48 m and 0.32 m,  NPK 02- 20-18 fertilization of 0, 200, 300 kg ha^-1 and sowing density of  8, 12 and 16 kg ha^-1. Data were subjected to variance analysis and means were compared by Tukey’s t test. There was interaction among spacing, fertilization and sowing density. Higher crambe productivity (828.00 kg ha^-1) was proportionate with the application of 300 kg ha-1 of NPK 02-20-18, with planting density of 12 kg ha^-1 and row spacing of 0.32 m.
