| To develop this study it was used Eucalyptus grandis seedlings planted in three-liter pots, filled with soil collected on areas where dieback occurred (Arapoti, PR). The experiment consisted of six soil water level treatments, with and without insects. The experimental design was randomized blocks with 6 replications, arranged in six cages inside a green house. Three cages received insects and other three, not. The experiment consisted of the following treatments: 1. Sat. - soil water content maintained on the saturated conditions; 2. CC – soil water content maintained on field capacity; 3. 60 - humidity of the soil to 60% of the field capacity; 4. 30 - humidity of the soil to 30% of the field capacity; 5. A7 – soil water content maintained 7 days on the... |
