Effects of environment, containers, and substrate composition in the height and leafs number in passiflora seedlings in Aquidauana - MS

The definition of best passion fruiteedlings production system as function of environment, containers and susbtrates can result in important information for the farmers. An experiment was carried out with passiflora seedlings production, using bags and trays, with distinct substrates. The experiments were carried out in the State University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Aquidauana-MS, from September to November 2006. Four protected environments, two kinds of pots and three substrate compositions were evaluated. The height of plants (cm) and the leaf number were evaluated. Results showed that environment with monofilament black covered, polyethylene bags and substrate "soil + organic compost + vermiculite, in the proportion volumetric 1:1:1 v/v" were such a better option in the development of passiflora seedlings.
