Desenvolvimento de mudas de mulungu fertirrigadas com diferentes soluções nutritivas

Abstract

The mulungu (Erythrina vellutina Willd) is a native species that occurs in various regions of the country, with potential for timber use, urban tree planting and restoration of vegetation in degraded areas, however, is still a little studied species. This work was to evaluate the effect of six nutrient concentrations in fertigation solution (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125%), arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. Two independent experiments were performed, one for each access. The seedlings were evaluated for the following variables: height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, shoot dry weight, root dry mass and dry mass of the total, specific leaf area, leaf area ratio, height/diameter ratio and Dickson quality index. With the exception of the variables specific leaf area and leaf area ratio, all other were affected by the treatments applied to the two hits. For both access, better quality seedlings can be produced using fertigation with nutrient solution ranging from 70 to 80% of the standard solution.
