Abstract
The soil acidity limits availability, absorption and concentration of nutrients and yield of the cocoa crop. The objective was to evaluate the effect of soil pH on the concentration of macro and micronutrients in leaf, husk and grain for four cocoa clones, self-compatible (ICS-1, CCN-51) and self-incompatible (ICS-39, TSH-565) in the department of Caquetá. The experimental design consisted in a factorial arrangement with four clones (factor A), four pH and fertility levels (factor B) and four repetitions. The results indicate differences in the concentration of nutrients due to the effect of the clone and the treatment, being the accumulation of N, P and Mg in grain>leaf>husk, K in husk>leaf>grain, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn y B in leaf>husk>grain, S in husk>leaf>grain and Cu in grain>husk>leaf. The concentration of P, Mg and S was higher, and in turn Mn lower, when the pH increased. The order of nutrient extraction in grain was N>K>P>Mg>S>Ca>Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu>B. Regarding clones, CCN-51 showed ability to take nutrients and reach higher productions, even in soils with pH ≥ 5.5, suggesting effect of edaphoclimatic conditions, and therefore, the need to evaluate the clones for each growing area.
