Crescimento inicial de plantas jovens de faveleira (Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus (M. ARG.) PAX & K. HOFFM.) em função da época de plantio e do sombreamento.

Abstract

This work had the objective to evaluate early and quality of Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus plants submitted of various light intensities conditions, in nursery, during dry and rainy seasons. The treatments were distributed in 4x2 factorial scheme, with four shading levels (0; 30; 50 and 70% of light) and two periods of planting (dry and rainy seasons), during 75 days. The production of young plants during rainy season, full sunlight and 30% of shading treatments provided the best values in growth components and young plants quality. Diameter stem, plant height/
