The use of biomass is an attractive option. In this work, thecombustion thermal behaviour and kinetic of custard apple (Annona cherimola) crop remains derived from different plotfertilisation conditions (organic and inorganic) were studied. Thermogravimetry procedures were applied to seeds andwood under four heating rates (5, 10, 20 and 40 °C/min). Iso-conversional methods (Friedman, Flynn–Wall–Ozawa andKissinger–Akahira–Sunose) were used to determine the activation energy and the frequency factor. Fuel results showed ahigher high heating value for seeds (~ 24.78 MJ/mol) when compared with wood (~ 19.33 MJ/mol). Thermogravimetricprofiles denoted that, while seed samples were only affected by heating ramps, pruning remains were also influenced by thetype of fertiliser. Organic fertiliser was responsible for higher maximum values on the second decomposition peak for woodsamples, at 20 and 40 °C/min (56.78%/min and 23.03%/min). Kinetic indexes were also notably influenced by the fertilisernature. Organic manure reduced the average activation energy results, being more perceptible in seeds (135.51–172.32 kJ/mol) than wood (140.32–144.43 kJ/mol). Hence, it is proven that the type of fertilisation affects the thermal behaviour ofcustard apple residues PB Springer SN 2190-6815 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10612/17603 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10612/17603 NO Prado-Guerra, A.; Calvo, L.
