Resumo
As bromélias apresentam formas exóticas com uma grande diversidade de cores e de flores, constituindo importantes espécies para uso em paisagismo e floricultura. em conseqüência disto, são muito comercializadas. Porém, parte das plantas que se encontram no mercado, ainda são provenientes do extrativismo. Esta situação é também reflexo do pequeno número de informações sobre técnicas de propagação e cultivo. Uma das limitações é o desconhecimento do tipo de substrato e adubação adequados ao cultivo destas espécies. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o crescimento de bromélias do Neoregelia cruenta, cultivadas em diferentes substratos e adubações foliares através da altura, do número de folhas, da matéria fresca e seca, da parte aérea e das raízes. As mudas utilizadas foram provenientes de cultura de tecidos. Após um período de pré-aclimatização, foram transplantadas para estufa sem nebulização. Os substratos foram constituídos da mistura de diferentes proporções de solo, areia, casca de arroz carbonizada e por um substrato comercial à base de vermiculita. Aos substratos foi aplicada adubação foliar, combinando uréia e sacarose, em intervalos de quinze dias. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as interações entre os substratos, dose de sacarose e de uréia, não afetaram a altura das mudas e o número de folhas. O uso de sacarose também não influenciou o desenvolvimento das mudas. O substrato comercial à base de vermiculita, independente da aplicação de adubação foliar, proporcionou maior altura das mudas e número de folhas. A aplicação de uréia apresentou efeito linear crescente durante o período avaliado.
The bromeliads present exotic forms with a great variety of colors and flowers and are considered as important species used in landscape design and floriculture. As a consequence, these species are well commercialized. However, a part of these plants still come from natural extraction. This situation is also a consequence of the reduced technical information regarding its propagation and development. One of the limitations is the lack of knowledge regarding the type of substrate and adequate fertilizer for its cultivation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the development of Neoregelia cultivated in different substrates and leaf fertilizers through the variables height, leaf number and fresh and dry matter of shoots and roots. The plantlets used were produced by tissue culture. After a period of pre-acclimatization, the plantlets were transferred to a green house without nebulization. The substrates consisted of different proportions of soil, sand and carbonized rice husk and a commercial substrate composed of vermiculite. Leaf fertilizers were applied to the substrates combining urea and sucrose in intervals of fifteen days. The results showed that the interactions of the substrates and the sucrose and urea dosages had no effect on height and leaf number. The use of sucrose also showed no influence on plant development. The commercial substrate composed of vermiculite, independent of the leaf fertilizer application, showed the best results for plant height and leaf number. The use of urea presented a crescent linear effect during the evaluated period.
