- Abstract
The propagation of any crop is understood as a crucial stage for the success of the crop, being the main form of propagation of passion fruit to sexual, through seedlings. The production of quality seedlings depends on the choice of the most suitable substrate for each crop. The objective was to evaluate the influence of different substrates on the emergence and initial development of yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) seedlings. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with 6 treatments and 4 repetitions with 25 seeds per experimental unit, sown in tubes of 280 mL. The treatments were composed by different types of substrates in the proportion of 3:1, being: pure soil; soil + poultry manure; soil + ox manure; soil + Natufert®; soil + humus; soil + coffee peel. Plant height (cm) was evaluated; the number of leaves; the diameter of the collection (mm); the length of the root (cm); the green mass of the leaves; the green mass of the roots; the dry mass of the leaves and the dry mass of the roots. The substrate resulting from the mixture of soil + coffee peel proved to be the most suitable for the emergence and initial development of yellow passion fruit seedlings.
