Growing dynamics of Caesalpinea violacea (Mill.) Standl cultivated in container, using different organic growing media

Abstract

This paper aimed at evaluating the growing dynamics of Caesalpinea violacea (Mill.) Standl specie, endemic and economic values, cultivated in different organic growing media. For a period of 150 days, the growing was evaluated fortnightly, a statistics analysis was carried out through 9 mathematical models of y=f(x) type and the used of the SPSS statistic package. Through this study, it is argued the influence of using substratum in the process of the plant growing. It was demonstrated that at the end of the cultivation in nursery exist a significant difference in the behaviour of the height of the plants among the substratum, and that in each substratum the growth is defined by a curve of different growth.
