The supply of pineapple rejects is a constraint for pineapple producers. However, pineapple has several techniques for the production of sprouts. The in vivo production technique is accessible to farmers and allows to produce homogeneous plants. However, the time required to grow the vivo plants is long and does not allow farmers to have the plants within a short period of time. The present study was initiated to improve the growth of MD2 pineapple live plants in the nursery. Thus, the effect of fertilizers on the growth of pineapple live plants in the nursery was evaluated with four types of fertilizers, F0: the neutral control; F1: biofeed base (solid biological fertilizer); F2: solid urea; F3: liquefied urea and F4: nutrigofol (foliar fertilizer). The trials were set up in a Fisher block design with three replications. The results obtained showed that the growth of vivo plants is influenced by the type of fertilizer tested. The F1 fertilizer gave the best results for all the parameters studied. Thus with F1, an average height of 40 cm was obtained at the 12th month of the experiment. The number of living leaves was 45. The leaf emission was 6 leaves. The mass of the plants and their roots was respectively 428 and 60 g. The survival rate was 100%. The lowest values were obtained in the untreated plants (F0). There was a strong correlation between the mass and the number of leaves possessed by the reject with R = 0.79. At the end of this study, organic fertilizers in solid form should be recommended and the approximate determination of the mass of the shoot ready to be transplanted in the field will be done by simple counting of the number of living leaves, that is between 40 and 50 leaves.
