MÉTODOS DE PROPAGAÇÃO DE MURICI: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Abstract

The objective of this work was to elaborate a bibliographical review on the methods of propagation of the muricize tree. Murici plays a very important role in the national market, especially for low-income people or family farming, and extractivism is the most common form in regions that have muricize trees. In order to obtain seeds with good germination, the ripening stage of the fruits is extremely important, so the seeds that are destined for propagation of seedlings or rootstocks must be at a complete stage of maturation. Murici seeds have a low germination rate, are irregular and slow, both in natural conditions and in nursery conditions, making this propagation method unfeasible for the production of seedlings. For vegetative propagation the use of rooting hormone in murici cuttings can be an interesting strategy, but the results are generally not promising. The positive effects of this method hardly differ when hormonal inducers are not applied. The methodologies used in vegetative propagation by stem cuttings did not obtain satisfactory results in the use of treatments with IBA. For some authors, the layering method is recommended for the production of murici seedlings with satisfactory results in improving rooting.
