Clonagem de faveleira (Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus) por estaquia.

Abstract

The faveleira is an oleaginous plant that it can be used for recovery of degraded areas, animal and human feeding, medicine, sawmill, energy, biodiesel, among others. The vegetative propagation of Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus is a good alternative of production of seedlings, as much as a tool for the improvement of the species as well as for the producers. The estaquia has the advantage of larger economical viability, when one want to produce seedlings in commercial scale. Like this the development of those techniques for the faveleira would make possible to the producer the choice of the best technique for the clonagem of the species in function of their technical and economical conditions, as well as a tool for the melhorista to multiply the identified superior genotypes in his/her program. Before the exposed, this work has as objectives to evaluate the production of faveleira seedlings for the macroestaquia method, using six concentrations of AIB, four types of substrata. The best answer was obtained combining 2 g/L of AIB the vermiculita or PANTMAX.
