Jeferson Antonio dos Santos Silva; Carla Medianeira Girolleta dos Santos; Tiago Ledesma Taira; et al. Ornamental Horticulture 2026. doi:10.1590/2447-536x.v32.e322954

- Intervention effect Full sun cultivation gave the lowest values for the evaluated variables compared with 30% or 60% shading.
- Intervention effect Fertilization with P plus Osmocote significantly enhanced the analyzed variables of Curcuma alismatifolia.
- Intervention effect Fertilization with P plus Osmocote demonstrated greater efficiency than mineral fertilization with P alone.
- Recommendation Propagation of C. alismatifolia without reserve roots combined with 0.3 g P plus 12 g Osmocote per pot at 30% shading can be carried out.
