EFFECT OF DIFFERENT DOSES OF VERMICOMPOST ON THE GROWTH OF APULEIA LEIOCARPA (VOG) MACBR. SEEDLINGS
View through CrossRef
The objective of this study was to determine the best vermicompost dose for seedling production of Apuleia leiocarpa. The experiment consisted of five treatments, which were conducted in a greenhouse. The following doses of vermicompost were tested: control (without vermicompost); 10% vermicompost; 20% vermicompost; 30% vermicompost and 40% vermicompost of the total container volume (185 cm3). The experimental design was entirely randomised. The substratum used was bark of Pinus sp., which was triturated and composted. A hundred days after seedling germination, the following variables were analysed: height and diameter growth, above ground dry matter, root dry matter and total dry matter. The 30% vermicompost doses showed to be optimum in growth response and biomass production of Apuleia leiocarpa seedlings.
