The pink cedar (
Acrocarpus fraxinifolius
Wight) is a tropical tree appreciated by its dense wood, resistance and maneuverable. The goal of this project was to evaluate the tree growth seeded between basic cultivars and organic matter added to the soil, giving an extra outcome to the agriculturist. A randomized complete blocks experimental design was used with three replications, using four treatments: T1: pink cedar, T2: pink cedar + corn, T3: pink cedar + beans, and T4: pink cedar + chili. The response variables analyzed were: trunk diameter, content of organic matter and maximum yield of the alternate crop. The results show that T2, T3 and T4 were different to the response variable maximum yield of the alternate crop, show a bigger mean value than previous records in Veracruz. None of the treatments show statistically significant differences for trunk diameter. For content of organic matter, it increased the percentage recorded at the beginning of the experiment, showing that treatments T2, T3 and T4 did not give significant differences between them.
