Agroforestry systems appear to be a good alternative to occupy these areas. In this work, mixed cropping systems involving fertilizer input (30% and 100% of the recommended fertilization) and inoculation with VA-mycorrhizal fungi (absence and presence) were tested on a former experimental rubber plantation. The experimental area was divided into five blocks with eighteen plots each to test four mixed cropping systems (S1. rubber, cupuacu, peach palm and papaya; S2. cupuacu, peach palm, Brazil nut, urucum and cassava; S3. rubber, cupuacu, coconut, orange, parica, cassava, beans and maize; S4. rubber, parica, mahogany and andiroba) and four conventional monocultures (rubber, cupuacu, peach palm, and orange). The plants inoculated with VA-mycorrhizal fungi showed higher growth rates in the nursery, and higher survival rates after planting out. However, the possible beneficial effects of mycorrhiza were not detected in the field. Except cupuacu and peach palm, all species presented a higher initial plant development and production in the treatment with more fertilizer compared to those with lower fertilization.  aagroforestry  aCitrus  avesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae  aAdubação  aBactris Gasipaes  aBertholletia Excelsa  aBixa Orellana  aCarica Papaya  aCoco  aCocos Nucifera  aCultivo Multiplo  aCupuaçu  aEspécie  aFertilizante  aFloresta Tropical Úmida  aHevea  aLaranja  aMamão  aMandioca  aManihot Esculenta  aMicorriza Vesicular Arbuscular  aMilho  aParicá  aPupunha  aSchizolobium Amazonicum  aSeringueira  aTheobroma Grandiflorum  aZea Mays  aAgrofloresta  aAmazonas  aBrasil  aCastanha do Brasil  aCultiple cropping  aFertilizers application  aManaus  aTropicala rain forests  aUrucu1 aMORAES, C.
