This study aimed to evaluate the production of cordia (Cordia trichotoma) ministumps of seminal and asexual origin, as well as the effect of the naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) on the rooting of mini-cutitings. Seedlings and plantlets from rootedIn clonal mini-hedge, the production of ministumps should vary among clones, management techniques, ministump age and vigor, among others factors (DIAS et al., 2012). The nutritional management has also been a determinant factor for the competency of mini-cutting rooting, because well-nourished propagules have high availability of endogenous auxin, amino acids, carbohydrates, and other substances that facilitate differentiation and root formation.Studies have shown that cordia (Cordia trichotoma), a native tree species of the Boraginaceae family, presents propagules with low-rooting competence, because unsatisfying rhizogenesis responses have been obtained in both mini-cuttings of adult shoots and cuttings (FICK, 2007;HEBERLE et al., 2010). As far as it is know, there are no references on cordia mini-cutting technology, which is the -NOTE -I

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de épocas do ano e de clones na produtividade das minicepas e no enraizamento de miniestacas de erva-mate (Ilex paraguariensis A. St. - Hil.) tratadas ou não com ácido indolbutírico (AIB). Com esta finalidade, nas quatro épocas do ano realizou-se a coleta de brotos das minicepas de quatro clones de erva-mate, sendo que em cada coleta foi avaliada a porcentagem de sobrevivência das minicepas e o número de miniestacas. Posteriormente, os brotos foram seccionados em miniestacas de gema única, as quais foram ou não tratadas com 2000 mg L-1 de AIB. Aos 30 e 60 dias foram avaliadas as porcentagens de sobrevivência, enraizamento e calogênese, número e comprimento das raízes. As minicepas dos quatro clones de erva-mate apresentaram alta sobrevivência, além de produção constante de miniestacas dos clones 06SM17, 06SM12 e 06SM15 durante as quatro épocas do ano. O tratamento com AIB não incrementou no enraizamento das miniestacas de erva-mate. O processo rizogênico das miniestacas variou conforme o genótipo e a sazonalidade. O clone 06SM15 apresentou a maior capacidade rizogênica nas quatro épocas do ano. As melhores porcentagens de enraizamento foram verificadas nas épocas do outono e/ou inverno para os quatro genótipos avaliados.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the morphophysiological quality of yerba mate plantlets (Ilex paraguariensis A. St.-Hil.) produced by mini-cutting at four different times of year and cultivated in different containers. For the rooting of mini-cuttings, shoots of four yerba mate clones were collected four times during the year (April, July and October 2014 and January, 2015), cut into single-budded mini-cuttings and planted in equal proportions of pine bark-based commercial substrate, vermiculite and coarse sand. After 60 days of cultivation in a wet chamber, the rooted mini-cuttings were transferred to different containers: a 100 cm³ rigid polyethylene tube container and 500, 1500 and 3000 cm 3 polyethylene bags containing pine bark-based commercial substrate and underground soil (2:1 v/v). A completely randomized design was used in a 4 x 4 factorial scheme, with five replications ranging from 5 to 20 mini-cuttings per experimental unit. The plantlets were evaluated for survival percentage, shoot height, stem diameter, shoot height/stem diameter ratio and number of leaves at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days of cultivation. At 120 days of cultivation, 10 plantlets from each treatment were randomly picked to evaluate shoot and root dry mass, Dickson quality index, shoot height, surface area, total volume and number of root tips. The best combinations of shoot height, length, surface area, total volume and number of root tips and Dickson quality index were found in plantlets produced in July, 2014, followed by plantlets produced in October,2014 and January, 2015. The polyethylene bags allowed the production of yerba mate plantlets with satisfactory quality of shoot and roots, regardless of the volume. Yerba mate plantlets can be produced by mini-cutting from July to January in polyethylene bags. Key words: Ilex paraguariensis. Plantlet production. Polyethylene bags. Season of the year.
