ABSTRACT: The production of tree seedlings with high survival rate and growth is influenced by the substrate, which may be composed of biological and non-biological materials that help plant growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a mycorrhizal inoculant on farm and the use of a potassic rock (phonolite) on growth and nutrition of Eucalyptus saligna Sm. and Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi under greenhouse conditions. Both species were assigned to three mycorrhizal treatments [no inoculated control […]

The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of arbuscular mycorrhiza, the plant P nutritional status and increasing levels of P in nutrient solution on Zn toxicity to Trema micrantha (L.) Blum. In a first experiment trema seedlings were grown in a substrate with increasing P rates [0, 100, 200 and 400 mg dm-3 as Ca(H2PO4)2], besides a mycorrhizal treatment inoculated with Glomus etunicatum (Ge). After 60 days of growth, the plants were transferred to pots with Clark’s nutrient solution […]
