ROOTING POTENTIAL OF ILEX PARAGUARIENSIS CUTTINGS OF TWO POPULATIONS OF SOUTHERN BRAZIL IN TWO ROOTING ENVIRONMENTS

The success of Ilex paraguariensis cutting can be affected by the population origin, as well genotype and rooting environment. Therefore, objective this search was to test vegetative propagation I. cuttings from two populations their genotypes inserted in environments. tested were Três Barras (TB) Urupema (UR), both Santa Catarina state, selecting seven each. After collecting cutting, evenly distributed environments, one being a mini tunnel (MT) with irrigation micro sprinklers other greenhouse intermittent nebulization (GWIN) temperature humidity control. Survival considerably low for but singular results, TB better adapted GWIN (36.5%) UR MT (22.6%). varied greatly all perspectives. obtained best results inside (21.7%), while did not achieve 5% (2.4%) nor (3.2%). TB6, TB3 TB1 (all above 30.0%), only UR3 significant (18.8%). These mainly regarding survival rooting, confirm that there is strong relation involving origin place material, individuals
