Organic substrates in the emergency and development of papaya cv. Formosa “mel”

Papaya is a tropical fruit with great appreciation by the population, for production of seedlings, substrates appear as importance development, providing seedling in pattern desired producers. The objective was to evaluate effect organic on emergence and development papaya seedlings cv Formosa “mel”. experiment carried out randomized block design, five treatments four replications. Fifty seeds were used per replication. coconut husk powder, fern substrate, peat, crushed pine bark carbonized rice husk. Thirty days after emergence, percentage speed index average time evaluated. Sixty first seedling, following variables evaluated: number leaves; collector diameter; root length; shoot height; green dry mass roots. substrate consisting residue showed best results initial CV seedlings.
