Evaluation of the initial development of Moringa oleifera L. seedlings varieties of different organic compounds

Abstract

The objective was to evaluate the initial development of moringa seedlings (Moringa oleifera) under different organic compounds. The experiment was carried out in a 4x4 factorial design. With 4 treatments, S = Solo; SC = Substrate and Carbonized Rice Husk; SSC = Soil, Substrate and Carbonized Rice Husk; SOC = Soil and Carbonized Rice Husk; in 4 evaluation periods 15, 30, 45 and 60 days after planting. The parameters analyzed were plant height (AP), stem diameter (DC), number of leaves (NF), number of leaflets (Nf). The SOC treatment was shown to be superior in all evaluation parameters after 60 days, being the most recommended for the production of moringa seedlings.
