Summary

The utilization of organic fertilizers to enhance plant growth has witnessed a surge in recent years. This is attributed to the beneficial effects of organic matter on intensely cultivated soils, coupled with the high costs of mineral fertilizers for farmers. Here, we conducted an experiment to assess the impact of organic compound doses on the growth and nutritional status of passion fruit. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia, in Belém, Pará State, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments and four replications. Each experimental plot comprised a vase with a volume of 3.6 dm3 of soil and a yellow passion fruit seedling (Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa Deg.). Five rates of organic fertilizer (0%, 15
