Camu camu (Myrciaria dubia HBK Mc Vaugh) is a native crop of increasing importance for farmers in the Ucayali region (Lower Amazonia of Peru). Despite this fact, camu camu phenology and nutritional requirements during each growth stage have been scarcely investigated. The present research work was conducted in a non-grafted camu camu plantation, located in an alluvial soil in the district of Yarinacocha (province of Coronel Portillo, Ucayali region). The objective was to determine the seasonal uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by the camu camu biomass during one crop season. Total nutrients uptake was evaluated under two fertilization doses: a medium dose (T2 = 90-60-90) and a high dose (T3 = 120-90-120). A control without fertilization (T1), was included for comparison. The dry matter production by camu camu leaves and fruits, total uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by the seasonal biomass (leaves and fruits), and crop yield, were evaluated at five times during the crop season: (44, 88, 133, 181 and 210 days after defoliation). A completely randomized blocks design with three treatments and four replicates was used in the experiment.Dry matter accumulation in leaves was the highest during the fruiting stage and decreased slowly afterwards. Dry matter accumulation in fruits increased during the stages of fruit set and fruit maturity at all the treatments. The application of both the high and medium fertilization doses increased dry matter production compared with the control by 60,3 and 29,05%, respectively. Nitrogen uptake by leaves was maximum during the fruiting stage Maximum uptake for phosphorus and potassium occurred during the stage named Sprouting I, and decreased afterwards. N, P and K uptake in fruits was higher during teh last two growth stages (fruit set and fruit maturity) at all the treatments. The high and medium fertilization doses increased total nitrogen uptake (compared with the control) by 65,75 and 28,25%, respectively. Phosphorus uptake was increased in 56,77 and 36,59% by high and medium fertilization doses, respectively. For potassium, the increases were of 56,39 and 31,18 % (compared with the control), by high and medium fertilization doses, respectively.. The treatments including high and medium fertilization doses obtained higher yields compared with the control, resulting in 13807,41, 11888,04 and 8422,01 kg/ha of fresh fruits
