Agroindustrial and agricultural waste are raw materials that, reincorporated into the production of plants as substrates, are an economic and sustainable option; therefore, the objective was to evaluate soil mixtures with manure and agroindustrial waste to produce Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don. The materials used were bovine manure (EB), sheep manure (EO), oil palm fiber (FPA), oil palm husk (CPA) and coconut palm sawdust (APC); 40 % of Gleysol soil was used as a base and the rest of organic waste in different proportions. A total of 13 mixtures were evaluated and soil (100 %) as a control. Physical and chemical characteristics were measured: total porosity (Pt), aeration porosity (Pai), retention porosity (Pra), apparent density (Da), pH and electrical conductivity (CE). After 60 days of cultivation, they were measured: plant height (cm), stem diameter (mm), days to flowering, number of flowers, aerial and root biomass (g). The results showed that in the mixtures with organic waste, Da decreased and Pt and Pai increased; The mixtures had pH and CE in the ranges suggested for plant cultivation, except the mixtures with EO (CE: 12 dS m⁻¹). Plants grown in EB (20 %) with FPA, CPA and APC in proportions of 10‑10‑20, 0‑20‑20 and 20‑0‑20, had an increase in height, number of flowers, dry aerial biomass, and root biomass. Therefore, the incorporation of agro-industrial and livestock waste as substrates improved C. roseus production.
