USO DE BIOESTIMULANTE NA PRODUÇÃO DE MUDAS

Abstract

The production of seedlings is a fundamental process for several cultures, as healthy seedlings favor the development of plants. Several factors affect the formation of seedlings, including the substrate used, fertilization and management during production. Biostimulants are used in the production of seedlings of several plant species in order to obtain seedlings with good quality. Seaweeds, humic and fulvic acids and amino acids are the main biostimulants used in seedling production. In most of the analyzed works, the use of these products stimulated the root and shoot development, favoring the development of vegetable seedlings, fruit trees, flowers and forest species.
