Pinus taeda L., a principal espécie florestal plantada no Sul do Brasil, tem sua madeira usada como matéria-prima em serrarias, laminadoras e indústrias de aglomerado, MDF, celulose e papel. Devido à sua grande importância econômica, existe interesse no desenvolvimento de técnicas de propagação vegetativa que permitam a clonagem massal de mudas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da idade das mudas (60, 90, 120 e 150 dias) e das quatro estações do ano no enraizamento de miniestacas de P. taeda. Miniestacas de 5 cm foram confeccionadas a partir de ramos herbáceos e tratadas com solução de Captan® 0,1%. Seu plantio foi realizado em tubetes com substrato Mecplant® na camada inferior e 2 cm de vermiculita na porção superior. As miniestacas foram mantidas em casa de vegetação durante 120 dias, com temperaturas entre 15 e 25 ºC e umidade relativa do ar em torno de 90%. Avaliaram-se as porcentagens de miniestacas enraizadas, sobreviventes e mortas, o comprimento das três maiores raízes e o número e massa seca de raízes formadas por miniestaca. A idade das mudas influenciou o enraizamento, e a maior porcentagem (85%) foi obtida com mudas mais jovens (60 dias). O inverno mostrou-se o período mais favorável para a coleta das miniestacas.

RESUMOO objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o enraizamento de estacas de brotações epicórmicas provenientes de anelamento e decepa de árvores adultas de erva-mate com 17 e 80 anos, no inverno e verão. O plantio foi realizado em caixas preenchidas com vermiculita e casca de arroz carbonizada 1:1 (v/v) e após 90 dias em casa de vegetação, foram avaliados a porcentagem de enraizamento, o número de raízes, o comprimento médio de raízes, a sobrevivência, os calos e a mortalidade. Estacas provenientes de anelamento de árvores de 17 anos apresentam elevada taxa de enraizamento (88,7%), número (13,3) e comprimento médio de raízes (3,3 cm). Palavras-chave: propagação vegetativa; revigoramento/rejuvenescimento; rizogênese. ABSTRACTWe investigate the rooting of epicormic shoots from girdling and coppicing of adult mate trees with 17 and 80-years-old, in the winter and the summer. Cuttings were planted in boxes filled with vermiculite and carbonized rice hull 1:1 (v/v) and after 90 days in greenhouse rooting percentage, number of roots, average root length, survival, callus and mortality were evaluated. Cuttings from girdled trees with 17-years-old showed better rooting (88.7%), number (13.3) and average root length (3.3 cm). Keywords: reinvigoration/rejuvenation; rhizogenesis; vegetative propagation. INTRODUÇÃOA erva-mate é uma cultura de grande importância para os países da América do Sul e seus principais centros de produção e consumo estão localizados na Argentina, Paraguai e no Brasil, especialmente na região Sul, em que apresenta um elevado potencial econômico, social e ecológico (SANTIN et al., 2008). A cultura tem se tornado cada vez mais uma alternativa rentável ao pequeno produtor rural, gerando, além da segurança financeira, uma melhoria nas relações ambientais dentro da propriedade (MALINOVSKI et al., 2006). Entretanto, há ainda a necessidade de estabelecer uma produção contínua 1 Engenheiro Florestal, Dr., Professor do
Buxus sempervirens L., popularly known as boxwood, is a woody shrub widely used in gardening and landscaping. One of the most important factors for B. sempervirens commercial production is its propagation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of indolebutyric acid (IBA) concentrations on the adventitious rooting of semihardwood stem cuttings of the species. Branches with new shoots were collected from stock plants with approximately 17 years of growth. Stem cuttings of six centimeters in length with two leaves in the upper region were made with a straight cut at the apex and a bevel cut at the base. Cuttings bases were immersed for 10 seconds in hydroalcoholic solutions (50% v v-1) with IBA at 0, 1500, 3,000 or 6,000 mg L-1. The cuttings were evaluated at 64 and 116 days after planting. Rooting, mortality, callus formation and sprouting percentages as well as root number and root length were measured. At 64 days, no significant percentage of rooting was observed in B. sempervirens stem cuttings and sprouting and callus formation were not significantly affected by the treatments. Keeping the cuttings in the greenhouse for 116 days led to rooting rates up to a 97.5%, with no statistical difference among treatments. Root lengths and root numbers did not differ as a function of treatments. The required period for B. sempervirens stem cuttings rooting is around 116 days; IBA application does not affect rooting, survival or sprouting of B. sempervirens stem cuttings.
Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R. Br. is part of the Lamiaceae family and is commonly known as coleus, due to the genus denomination in the past. This ornamental plant species has been gaining importance in the floristic industry due to the great number of exotic cultivars available in the market. Coleus commercial exploitation by seeds is held up by genetic instability, which makes it usually being propagated through semi-hardwood stem cuttings and leaves have great importance in stem cuttings adventitious rooting. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence or absence of apical leaves and the use of indolebutyric acid (IBA) in coleus stem cuttings rooting. Semi-hardwood coleus stem cuttings with 6 cm long were prepared with or without apical leaves, and then treated with hydroalcoholic solutions (50% v v-1) of 0, 1000 and 2,000 mg L-1 IBA. The propagules were planted in tubes containing vermiculite and kept for 30 days in a greenhouse under intermittent misting (24 ± 2 °C, Relative Humidity 90%) until final evaluation. The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, in a 3x2 factorial scheme (3 IBA concentrations x presence and absence of apical leaves). The rooting was evaluated after 30 days. Stem cuttings with and without apical leaves has 100 and 57% rooting, respectively. Stem cuttings rooting did not vary according to IBA concentrations. Roots length and number were higher in stem cuttings with apical leaves in comparison to leafless ones, regardless IBA concentrations. On average, 97.7% sprouting was observed in cuttings with apical leaves, significantly higher rates when compared to the average of 2.2% on leafless cuttings. The presence of apical leaves is fundamental for coleus stem cuttings rooting and the use of IBA is not required for this species propagation.
