The post-planting growth of eucalyptus requires proper fertilization to provide nutrients in adequate amounts for the seedlings. This study aimed to determine the contribution of organomineral fertilizers and soil remineralizers to the initial growth of mycorrhized Eucalyptus grandis. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Frederico Westphalen campus. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement (2x6), combined or not with inoculation of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Pisolithus microcarpus and six fertilizers (mineral fertilizer, mineral fertilizer with remineralizer, organomineral fertilizer, with two levels of phosphorus content--high and low), with five repetitions. After ninety days of cultivation, the height, stem diameter, number of leaves, dry mass of aerial parts, root dry mass, total dry mass, root volume, height/stem diameter ratio, Dickson Quality Index, relative growth efficiency index, and mycorrhizal colonization were evaluated. The results were submitted to analysis of variance and the means compared using Tukey's test. The results showed that the organomineral fertilizer increased the morphological parameters and quality of Eucalyptus grandis, with the seedlings achieving greater mycorrhizal colonization in treatments with the remineralizer or organic fertilizer in the composition with the mineral fertilizer.

O trabalho objetivou determinar a contribuicao de fertilizantes organomineral e de remineralizadores do solo no crescimento inicial de Eucalyptusgrandis micorrizado. O experimento foi conduzido em casa de vegetacao da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, campus de Frederico Westphalen. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado em arranjo fatorial (2x6), combinado ou nao com inoculacao do fungo ectomicorrizico Pisolithus microcarpus e seis fertilizantes (fertilizante mineral, fertilizante mineral com remineralizador, fertilizante organomineral, com dois niveis de fosforo--com alto e baixo teor de fosforo), com cinco repeticoes. Decorridos noventa dias de cultivo, foi avaliada a altura, diametro de colo, numero de folhas, massa seca da parte aerea, massa seca da raiz, massa seca total, volume radicular, relacao altura/diametro de c
