Rooting of mini-cuttings and quality of plantlets of Cordia trichotoma

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of indolebutyric acid (IBA) concentration, substrate composition and volume, and propagule type on the adventitious rooting and quality of Cordia trichotoma plantlets produced by mini-cuttings. Mini-cuttings were evaluated for rooting p...

Description
Summary:Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of indolebutyric acid (IBA) concentration, substrate composition and volume, and propagule type on the adventitious rooting and quality of Cordia trichotoma plantlets produced by mini-cuttings. Mini-cuttings were evaluated for rooting percentage and root number and length at 30 and 60 days of cultivation. Plantlets were evaluated for shoot height and stem diameter at 30, 60, 90, and 120 days of cultivation. The Dickson quality index, number of leaves, and fresh and dry weights of shoots and roots were also determined at 120 days of cultivation. The experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design, with six replicates, in a greenhouse, evaluating different concentrations of IBA, substrate composition and volume, and propagule type for adventitious rooting. Plantlets of C. trichotoma can be produced with quality and proper rooting from mini-cuttings with one or two buds or multiple buds (apical) when treated with 3,000 mg L-1 IBA and planted in 110 cm3 tubes containing equal proportions of substrate and vermiculite. Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a concentração de ácido indolbutírico (AIB), a composição e o volume do substrato, e o tipo de propágulo no enraizamento adventício e na qualidade de mudas de Cordia trichotoma produzidas por miniestaquia. As miniestacas foram avaliadas quanto à percentagem de enraizamento e número e comprimento de raízes aos 30 e 60 dias de cultivo. Já as mudas foram avaliadas quanto à altura da parte aérea e diâmetro do colo aos 30, 60, 90 e 120 dias de cultivo. O índice de qualidade de Dickson, o número de folhas, e a massa fresca e seca da parte aérea e das raízes também foram determinados aos 120 dias de cultivo. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com seis repetições, em casa de vegetação, tendo-se avaliado diferentes concentrações de AIB, composição e volume do substrato, e tipo de propágulo no enraizamento adventício. As mudas de C. trichotoma podem ser produzidas com qualidade e enraizamento adequado a partir de miniestacas de uma ou duas gemas ou de múltiplas gemas (apicais) quando tratadas com 3.000 mg L-1 de AIB e plantadas em tubetes de 110 cm3 contendo igual proporção de substrato comercial e vermiculita.
