Production of yellow melon seedlings in different substrates under protected cultivationWeak and malformed seedlings compromise the development of the crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production of yellow melon seedlings in different substrates under protected cultivation. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse during November and December, at the Federal University of Pelotas (RS). The following substrates were tested: T1: bovine manure vermicompost; T2: Plantmax® substrate; T3: Húmus Fértil ® commercial substrate; T4: bovine vermicompost 75%+ carbonized rice bark 25%; and T5: soil 75%+bovine vermicompost 25%. The evaluated variables were: the rate of speed and percentage of emergence from days 6th to 9 th ; height; main
