Biodegradable containers affect the morphological and nutritional aspects of Eucalyptus urophylla seedlings
16/Jun/2025
ABSTRACT Forest seedlings production generally uses polypropylene plastic tubes due to their advantages, as root protection and easy operation. However, these tubes have limitations, as small substrate accommodates capacity, there is a possibility of root deformation, and there is a composition of pollutant and non–renewable material. It is necessary to find environmentally correct alternatives. This study aimed to evaluate the morphological and nutritional aspects of Eucalyptus urophylla seedlings produced in biodegradable containers, compared to plastic polypropylene tubes. For this, seedlings […]
