Effect of the different fertilizer rates on the growth of seedling of Aspidosperma Parvifolium A. DC. | Slow-release fertilizer on the seedling growth of Aspidosperma parvifolium A. DC.

anglais. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of different fertilizer doses of controlled release in the production of seedlings Aspidosperma parvifolium A. DC. The experiment was carried out in a nursery at the University of the State of Santa Catarina, in the city of Lages. The seedlings originated from seeds, sown in plastic bags of 500 cm3 and filled with commercial substrate Tecnomax®. The design was completely randomized with four treatments, consisting of four increasing doses (0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5 g L-1) Osmocote® fertilizer. For each treatment were used five replications with four plants each. At 150 days after emergence were evaluated the diameter of the neck, total seedling height, number of leaves per seedling and, leaf area. It was found that plants belonging to treatments with the use of slow release fertilizer, particularly those subjected to a dose of five g/L responded similarly, resulting in better quality seedlings. The slow-release fertilizer levels influenced the early growth seedlings, indicating the potential use of this fertilizer in the production of guatambu seedlings.
