This study aimed to determine the effect of plant density on avocado fruit and leaf nutritional composition in commercial orchard cv. Hass in the department of Antioquia, Colombia. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with three replicates. The treatments consisted of six plant densities (204, 278, 333, 400, 625, and 816 tree ha-1), and each experimental unit consisted of six 9-year-old trees. The 333 and 400 trees ha-1 plant densities presented the highest leaf concentrations of N, P, Ca, Mg, S, Zn, and B and fruits’ lowest saturated fatty acid contents. The nutritional balance index for N, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, and B was significantly affected by plant densities. The plant density significantly does not affect K, Ca, S, and Fe concentration in fruits, and the percentage of avocado fruits by size showed no significant differences due to plant distances.
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar el efecto de la densidad de plantío sobre la composición nutricional de frutos y hojas de aguacate en un huerto comercial del cv. Hass en el departamento de Antioquia, Colombia. Se utilizó un diseño experimental bloques completos al azar con tres repeticiones. Los tratamientos consistieron en seis densidades de plantío (204, 278, 333, 400, 625 y 816 árboles ha-1) y la unidad experimental estuvo compuesta por seis árboles de 9 años de edad. Las densidades de plantas de 333 y 400 árboles ha-1 presentaron las mayores concentraciones foliares de N, P, Ca, Mg, S, Zn y B y los menores contenidos de ácidos grasos saturados en frutos. El índice de balance nutricional para N, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn y B se vio afectado significativamente por las densidades de las plantas. La densidad de plantas no afectó significativamente la concentración de K, Ca, S y Fe en los frutos, y el porcentaje de frutos de aguacate por calibre no mostró diferencias significativas debido a las distancias de las plantas.
