Roots as a Substrate in Layering in Lychee

The research was carried out with the objective of evaluating effect different substrates based on grass roots, air layering in lychee plants. seedlings were planted plastic pots a capacity 10 liters mixture soil, sand and barnyard manure (3:1:1). treatments composed Esfagno as control forage roots: Tifton, Jiggs, Mombaça Tanzânia. Ninety days after planting, their roots removed placed to dry for later use layering. After drying batches weighing 30 grams made all species separated Air performed adult plants, branches between 1 2 cm diameter, each treatment five Five plants collected evaluation. setting index, green mass evaluated. Grass can be used substitute trees. formed by Tanzânia showed best results replacement trees may solution production this fruit tree.
