Resumen
SILVA, Taciella Fernandes et al. Potential for the use of carnauba bagana as a substrate in the production of plant loofah seedlings. Rev. de Ciências Agrárias [online]. 2022, vol.45, n.3, pp.1-10. Epub 30-Jun-2022. ISSN 0871-018X. https://doi.org/10.19084/rca.27004.
The formulation of alternative substrates using organic residues from agro-industrial/agricultural activities allows, in addition to reducing production costs, to reduce environmental impacts. Carnauba bagana, a residue from the extraction of wax, has great potential in the formulation of alternative substrates. However, studies using this residue as a raw material in the composition of substrates for the production of plant loofah seedlings have not yet been carried out. Thus, the present research aimed to evaluate the potential of substrates composed of different mixtures of soil and carnauba bagana in the production of plant loofah seedlings. The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse under a completely randomized design, with six treatments (0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% carnauba bagana, plus soil) and four replications. According to the results obtained, it was possible to verify that the carnauba bagana can be used as a constituent of substrate for the production of plant loofah seedlings. Among the combinations tested, the mixture consisting of 50% carnauba bagana + 50% soil showed the greatest potential for use.
