| The vegetative and root development of the species of Brazilian orchids Cattleya intermedia (John Lindley) and Miltonia clowesii (John Lindley) using different substrates and pyroligneous extract were assessed. Seedlings from in vitro propagation were transferred to vessels with: T1 - Pinus bark (Pi), coconut fibers (Co) and charred peel of rice (Cr); T2 – PiCoCr and vegetal charcoal (Ch), T3 – PiCoCrCh with the charcoal treated with pyroligneous extract (PE); T4 - CoCrChEP and T5 - CoCrCh. The materials used in substrates were placed in the same ratio. Plant height, number of roots, length of the greater root, number of buddings, total fresh mass and pH were assessed seven months after experiment onset. For Para C. intermedia, T3 was superior than the... |
