This study aimed to evaluate formulations of fertilizer in the finalization of the olive tree seedlings. The research was conducted at the Experimental Farm EPAMIG of Maria da Fé - MG. The experiment was a completely randomized in split-plots, with four replications and 12 seedlings for plot. Was evaluated three varieties of olive tree (Ascolano 315, Grappolo 541 and Arbequina), in the plots, and six formulations of fertilizer more witness, in the subplots. The work began on 12/09/2008 and sixty days after was evaluated the number of shoots and the average length of shoots (cm); and the hundred and twenty days, the height of the plant (cm), number of roots, length of the roots (cm), dry matter weight of the leaves and stem (g) and dry matter weight of the root (g). The varieties Ascolano 315 and Grappolo 541 had more shoots and Arbequina developed greater length of shoots and seedlings higher; the formulations 1 and 2 produced seedlings highest in 120 days, for the varieties studied; Ascolano 315, Grappolo 541 and Arbequina present no difference between them for the variable dry matter weight of the root for different formulations. However, the formulations have difference in relation to number of roots, length of the roots, dry matter weight of the leaves and stem and dry matter weight of the root when applied in each variety, especially the formulations 1 and 2.
