The present study was carried out aiming to evaluate the effects of potassium, copper and zinc on the growth and seed yield of castor (Ricinus communis L.), cultivar BRS Nordestina and BRS Paraguaçu. Two experiments were conducted in a greenhouse, in Campina Grande, Paraiba State, Brazil. The experimental was conducted 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design completely randomized amounting in each experiment, a total of 24 experimental units, subjected to the following levels of fertilization: potassium (150 and 250 kg ha-1), copper (16 and 32 mg dm-3) and zinc (32 and 64 mg dm-3). Plant height, stem diameter, number and length of leaves were measured at 21, 42, 62, 82, 102 e 123 days after planting (DAP). Number and weight of seeds were measured. Potassium, copper and zinc did influence BRS Paraguaçu and BRS Nordestina growth and BRS Paraguaçu production. The highest yield of seed weight of BRS Paraguaçu corresponded to 250 kg ha-1 K2O, 16 and 32 mg dm-3 Cu and Zn, respectively.
