D e s c e n t r a l i z a ç ã o administrativa está na ordem do dia. Realmente acreditamos que ninguém de bom senso ousaria hoje contraditar que, tanto no Governo como nas emprêsas privadas de grande porte, as antigas tendências de alta centralização orga nizacional e concentração de podêres, já não têm mais possibilidade de conduzir aos desejados padrões de eficiência, dentro do quadro tecnológico atual. 2. Fala-se, por isso, e freqüentemente, em descentralizar e desconcentrar podêres do centro para a periferia das decisões. 3. Se as idéias estão certas, no particular caso das grandes organizações, não menos certas, contudo, são as cautelas especiais a serem adotadas no planejamento, tanto da descentralização, no sentido da estrutura, como na delegação, no sentido do cometimento das atribuições de decidir às autoridades menores.

One of the main responsible attributes for the good quality of seedlings is its cultivation in substrates with a good drainage and nutrients availability. This work aimed to study the production of pepper seedlings with different doses of organic compounds in substrate. The experiment was carried out in August, 2018, at Educational Foundation of Andradina, in Andradina, São Paulo State, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a 2x5 factorial scheme, with two organic substrates: peaty exhausted compound (EC) and coconut fiber compound (CC), in five different concentrations: null %; 25%; 50%; 75% and 100%, with five repetitions, in total of fifty plots. The increase in the concentration of organic compounds in production of pepper seedlings promoted a greater development. It is recommended using 70% of peaty exhausted in the composition of substrate to the production of pepper seedlings and using 100% of coconut fiber in the composition of the substrate to the production of pepper seedlings.

Introduction: One of the attributes responsible for the good quality of the seedlings is their cultivation on substrates with good drainage and availability of nutrients, where the use of alternative sources of organic matter makes it a strategy for seedling producers. Objective: The objective of this work was to evaluate the initial development of melon when grown in different concentrations of exhausted peat organic compost. Materials and Methods: The experiment was carried out in September 2019, at Faculdades Integradas Stella Maris (FISMA), located in the Municipality of Andradina, State of São Paulo, at geographic coordinates 20°53'26,482"S and 51°22'24,822"W and with altitude approximately 396 meters above sea level. A completely randomized design was used, in a 2x5 factorial scheme, with two varieties of melon (V), namely: Goldmine and Imperial interacting with five concentrations of exhausted peat organic compound (C), that is: zero%; 3%; 6%; 13% and 25% and with four repetitions, totaling 40 plots or plastic vases. Conclusion: It is recommended to use 15% exhausted peat compound in the composition of the substrate in the initial phase of the melon. The melon varieties showed similar responses in terms of exhausted peat compound concentrations.
