Seeds of the species Inga edulis are recalcitrant and lose viability quickly, which restricts seedling production at only a certain time of the year. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the potential of mini-cutting and the influence of different indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) concentrations on the vegetative propagation of Inga edulis. The vegetative material was collected from juvenile plants from a clonal mini-garden. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design, with five replications and each experimental unit with eight cuttings. Treatments consisted of different IBA concentrations (0, 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 mg kg−1). The percentage of live and rooted mini-cuttings, number of roots emitted from the base, longest root length, total number of roots, fine root length, total root length, root surface area, weighted average root diameter, root volume, shoot dry matter, root dry matter, total dry matter, specific root length, specific root surface area, and root density were analyzed after 45 days in a greenhouse. All Inga edulis mini-cuttings survived, and rooting was over 85%. IBA concentrations had no significant effect on most of the analyzed variables. However, exogenous auxin concentration between 2000 and 4636.96 mg kg−1 provided mini-cuttings with a higher number of roots, surface area, and root volume. Rooting of juvenile Inga edulis mini-cuttings may occur without the use of IBA.
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a miniestaquia como técnica de propagação vegetativa e o efeito da aplicação de diferentes doses de ácido indolbutírico (AIB) no enraizamento de miniestacas de Lecythis lanceolata. Os tratamentos constituíram-se em duas coletas de brotações, nas doses de 0, 2.000, 4.000 e 8.000 mg L-1 de AIB, (fatorial 2 x 4), com quatro repetições, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado. O minijardim seminal de Lecythis lanceolata apresenta potencial para fornecimento de miniestacas. Não houve influência da aplicação de auxina no enraizamento das miniestacas, sugerindo que a espécie apresenta baixa capacidade de emitir raízes.
