“…Several authors have mentioned the importance of substrate choice and preparation in the production of fruit seedlings. Sirin et al (2010), studied growth substrates and fig plant (Ficus carica L) production and pointed out that pest attack, disease and soil depletion are significant problems Biosci.

We conducted two experiments to evaluate the growth of mango (Mangifera indica L., CV Coquinho) rootstock in different substrates and determine the optimal concentration of poultry litter amendments to the soil in combination with seeds with or without an endocarp endocarp. The following factors were studied in the first experiment: substrate source: soil, soil + poultry litter (at 25%) and a commercial substrate. In the second experiment, we studied poultry litter amendments at 0% (just soil), 20% and 40%. Both experiments evaluated the presence or absence of the seed endocarp on: plant height, stem diameter (tree base) and leaf count at 60, 75, 90, 105 and 120 days after sowing (DAS). After conducting field measurements, we evaluated fresh shoot weight (FW) and then dry shoot weight (DW) after drying at 65°C. No significant differences among the substrate sources or concentrations of poultry litter amendments relative to rootstock development. However, rootstock produced from seeds with no endocarps outperformed all other treatments.

“…This shows the importance of the requirements for substrate physical characteristics for vegetative propagation, especially with respect to porosity, in order to ensure the adequate availability of oxygen for root emission and development in high humidity environments, such as greenhouses (Sirin et al, 2010;Silva et al, 2012).…”

“…Overall, pH should be between 5.0 and 5.8 for substrates with a predominance of organic matter (Kämpf & Fermino, 2000); electrical conductivity should be below 1.0 mS cm -1 (Gonçalves et al, 2000); apparent density should be between 100-300 kg m -3 (Kämpf, 2005); and total porosity between 75-85%, with 35-45% macroporosity and 45-55% microporosity (Maeda et al, 2007). Other important factors that can affect clonal propagation are water holding capacity and aeration, as well as thermal properties, biological activity, and nutrient availability (Sirin et al, 2010). However, for success in clonal propagation, more research is required to determine the best substrates for each species (Kratz et al, 2015).…”

-The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different compositions of renewable substrates and seasons of the year on the quality of Piptocarpha angustifolia clonal plants. The experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design in a 4x6 factorial arrangement (four seasons x six substrate compositions). The analyzed substrates were: S1, commercial substrate with pine bark and coconut fiber base (CF); S2, carbonized rice husk (CRH); S3, fibrous and grainy CF; S4, 50% CF and 50% CRH; S5, 30% CF and 70% CRH; and S6, 70% CF and 30% CRH. Minicuttings of 8±1 cm were planted in tubes of 110 cm 3 and placed in a greenhouse, during the four seasons of the year. The evaluated variables were: survival and number of roots at 70 days; survival and emission of shoots at 100 days; rooting, shoot height, stem diameter, and their ratios; easiness of removal from tubes; aggregation to the substrate; and multiplication rate at 130 days. The highest CRH/CF ratio favored the development of better-quality plants, and S5 was the most adequate substrate. Spring is more favorable to the survival and quality of cuttings, and, together with summer, favors the highest multiplication rates. The S5 substrate has better physical and chemical quality and improves P. angustifolia clonal plants.Index terms: agro-industrial residues, clonal forestry, forest plant quality, production of minicuttings, "vassourão-branco". Qualidade de mudas clonais de Piptocarpha angustifolia em diferentes substratos renováveis e estações do anoResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de diferentes composições de substratos renováveis e estações do ano na qualidade de mudas clonais de Piptocarpha angustifolia. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em arranjo fatorial 4x6 (quatro estações do ano x seis composições de substratos). Os substratos avaliados foram: S1, substrato comercial à base de casca de pinus e fibra de coco (FC); S2, casca de arroz carbonizada (CAC); S3, FC fibrosa e granulada; S4, 50% FC e 50% CAC; S5, 30% FC e 70% CAC; e S6, 70% FC e 30% CAC. Miniestacas de 8±1 cm foram plantadas em tubetes de 110 cm 3 e acondicionadas em casa de vegetação, nas quatro estações do ano. Avaliaram-se as variáveis: sobrevivência e número de raízes aos 70 dias; sobrevivência e emissão de brotos aos 100 dias; enraizamento, altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do coleto e suas relações; facilidade de retirada dos tubetes; agregação ao substrato; e taxa de multiplicação aos 130 dias. A maior relação CAC/FC favoreceu o crescimento de mudas com melhor qualidade, e S5 foi o substrato mais adequado. A primavera é mais favorável à sobrevivência e à qualidade das mudas e, juntamente com o verão, favorece as maiores taxas de multiplicação. O substrato S5 apresenta melhor qualidade física e química e proporciona melhores mudas clonais de P. angustifolia.Termos para indexação: resíduos agroindustriais, silvicultura clonal, qualidade de mudas florestais, miniestaquia, vassourão-branco.

“…There are many materials that can be used as substrates and no one composition is suitable for all cultivation conditions and species, making it necessary to use mixtures of components. Moreover, using alternative substrates requires knowledge about the characteristics of the mixtures, as well as the best conditions for seedling growth (ŞIRIN et al, 2010).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of substrates made of composted sewage sludge and irrigation depths on the growth and quality of E. grandis x E. urophylla cuttings to optimize water management for each substrate. The substrates were obtained from sewage sludge composted with sugarcane bagasse or Eucalyptus bark, namely: composted sewage sludge with sugarcane bagasse (1:3 v:v); sewage sludge composted with Eucalyptus bark (1:3 v:v) and a mixture of both substrates in a volumetric proportion 2:1 (v:v). Commercial substrate composed of Sphagnum peat, vermiculite and rice husk (3:1:1 v:v: v) was used as a control. The irrigation depths tested were 11, 14 and 17 mm, applied in two daily applications. The substrates were physically and chemically characterized and height, stem diameter, shoot, root and total dry mass, Dickson quality index and root system conformation were measured to determine the growth and quality of seedlings. The substrates obtained through the composting of sewage sludge with sugarcane bagasse or Eucalyptus bark are fit for producing Eucalyptus cuttings, however, the water specificity of each substrate must be considered. Although an 11mm irrigation depth is indicted for the mixture of both substrates (2:1 v:v), a 17mm irrigation depth is needed for the sewage sludge composted with sugarcane bagasse (1:3 v:v) substrate.
