Abstract
In order to evaluate application effect of doses of controlled release fertilizers on the efficiency of the use of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by coffee seedlings variety Isla 6-14 produced in tubes, the experiment was developed in the nursery of the Institute for Agro-Forestry Research UCTB Tercer Frente, from November 2018 to May 2019. In a completely randomized design, seven doses of the controlled release fertilizer Multicote (0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 and 6 g tube-1) were studied. The fertilizer was applied at the time of preparing the Brown soil substrate-bovine manure in a 1:1 ratio. The absorption of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, the efficiency of use of these macronutrients and their relationship with the seedling's quality index were evaluated. The data were subjected to a simple classification analysis of variance and Duncan's test was applied at 5 % probability to compare the means. The nutrient utilization efficiency was higher for phosphorus followed by nitrogen and finally potassium, regardless of the applied fertilizer dose. When applying the dose of 2 g tube-1 of the fertilizer, the highest efficiency values were found. The seedling's quality index increased with the efficiency of nutrient utilization.
