The adzuki bean is appreciated specie in Asia, mainly in China and Japan. In Brazil it is most used by descendant of immigrants of these countries and by natural foods consumers. It has high cultivation potential by family growers, as an option to crops diversification. To study of the response of adzuki bean to chemical fertilization, afield trial was carried out as a preliminary study to recommend chemical fertilization on Cerrado (Brazilian savanna) condition. It was done at Goiás State University, in Ipameri County, State of Goiás, Brazil, where was obtained data of plant growth in height and production of grains of adzuki beans in function of six doses of the formula NPK 5-25-15 (100, 200, 300, 400, 500 e 600 kg ha-1). The plants produced an average of 5.7 seeds per pod, with no significant difference between doses. To 100 mass average grain 9.03 g, also without significant differences. positive linear effects with increasing doses were obtained for plant height, number of pods per plant and grain yield.
