Efficiency of the On-Farm Mycorrhizal Inoculant and Phonolite Rock on Growth and Nutrition of Schinus terebinthifolius and Eucalyptus saligna

ABSTRACT: The production of tree seedlings with high survival rate and growth is influenced by the substrate, which may be composed of biological and non-biological materials that help plant growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a mycorrhizal inoculant on farm and the use of a potassic rock (phonolite) on growth and nutrition of Eucalyptus saligna Sm. and Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi under greenhouse conditions. Both species were assigned to three mycorrhizal treatments [no inoculated control (SP), no inoculation + pulp sludge and carbonized rice husk (LC), an...
