Abstract

An alternative to disposal of organic residue is it reused in production of forest species. This study was conducted in order to verify the influence of organic substrates on the growth and nutrition of Schizolobium amazonicum Herb. The seedlings were produced in sand, at the moment that the organic substrates were mixed in different proportions to the commercial substrate Basaplant® and low fertility soil. After incubation, the plants were transferred to the tubes containing the substrates. The experimental design was completely randomized with 23 treatments and four replications. To analysis of growth, were measured height and diameter. The seedlings were dried for weighing the dry mass. This dried material was submitted to digestion: sulfuric and nitric-perchloric, for nutrient concentrations analysis. The growth and development of S. amazonicum seedlings were positively influenced by the combinations of manure, soil and Basaplant®, but promoted increases of K to phytotoxic levels.
