This study evaluated the effect of bovine manure in the agronomic performance of salad rocket cv. Cultivada. The completely randomized design was used, with six treatments and four repetitions, with each recipient constituting a parcel. The treatments had consisted of differents amounts of bovine manure incorporated to the soil (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 t.ha¯¹), and the witness. The evaluated characteristics had been: height of plant (cm), leaf number for parcel, mass of the green substance (g) and mass of the dry substance (g) for parcel. The amount of 60 t.ha¯¹ promoted greater height of plants, greater leaf number, greater mass of the green substance and greater of mass of the dry substance.
