Custos de implantação e caracterização agronômica de alface em sistema de plantio direto de hortaliças orgânico em Laranjeiras do sul, PR

Abstract

The production of vegetables in the state of Paraná comes predominantly from the conventional planting system. One of the technological strategies to assist the rural producer in the process of converting to sustainable production is the implementation of the vegetable no-tillage system (SPDH). Vegetable production has high investment costs, mainly for inputs, one of the biggest obstacles in the production system. The objective of this research was to determine the main costs and technical coefficients in the implantation and management of a hectare of lettuce produced in organic SPDH in Laranjeiras do Sul/PR. The study was carried out in the 2021 agricultural season, through the installation of an experiment in order to validate the study carried out. The implementation and conduction of a production cycle of 1 ha of lettuce in organic SPDH in Laranjeiras do Sul, indicated a total cost of R$38,265.00. The inputs proved to be the most significant elements within the total cost. Another significant cost component was manual operations.
