“…With the increasing demand of the population for forest products, and as a result of the environmental degradation resulting from the disorderly extraction of native species from several biomes, together with the commercial value of wood, the cultivation of exotic species such as Khaya senegalensis (Desr.) A. JUSS, popularly known as African mahogany, has increased significantly in Brazil (Pereira et al, 2019;Santos et al, 2018).…”

The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of increasing doses of NPK on the initial development of Khaya senegalensis in nursery, aiming to define the ideal dosage of application for the formation of quality seedlings of this species. The plants were cultivated on a substrate of Red Yellow Latosol, with five levels of NPK (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 g per seedling). The treatments were distributed in a completely randomized design with ten replicates. It was observed that Khaya senegalensis is little influenced by the supply of increasing doses of NPK. 1.56 g was the most indicated dosage for its fertilization in nursery.

Plant quality and survival prediction tools are useful when applied in the field in different agricultural sectors. The objectives of this study were to conduct a review and bibliometric analysis of the Dickson Quality Index (DQI) as a key plant quality indicator and with respect to its scientific applications. A third objective was to identify the main morphological and physiological parameters used in plant production research. The methodology and findings of 289 scientific articles were analysed based on the morphological, physiological, and mathematical parameters used as plant quality indicators in research on forest, medicinal, horticultural, aromatic, and ornamental species. During the last 10 years, the number of publications that have used the DQI as a plant quality parameter has increased by 150%, and Brazilian researchers stand out as the most frequent users. Forestry is the discipline where quality parameters and their biometric relationships are most often used to facilitate intensive plant production. Use of the DQI increases the certainty of prediction, selection, and productivity in the plant production chain. The DQI is a robust tool with scientific application and great potential for use in the preselection of plants with high quality standards among a wide range of plant species.

In boreal forests in Canada, broadleaf stands are characterized by generally well-drained soils and a humus-rich layer. In contrast, spruce-moss stands are often characterized by more poorly drained soils and acidic humus layer. However, presence of these two forest types in various degrees of mixture in stands can be beneficial to spruce seedlings productivity. It was hypothesized that leaf litter and humus from pure spruces-moss stands, pure broadleaf stands, and mixed stand may influence Black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) BSP) seedling growth and development differently. A greenhouse experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of different leaf litter and different humus on spruces seedlings. Our results suggest better development for seedlings grown in humus from mixed stands and pure broadleaf stands compared to humus from pure B. spruce or standard forest nursery substrate. Furthermore, leaf litter from broadleaf trees species, such as species Speckle alder (Alnus rugosa (Du Roi) R.T. Clausen), T. aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx), Willows (Salix spp.) and Paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh.), has shown distinct results in the growth and development of B. spruce seedlings in greenhouse. Furthermore, promotion of mixed stand can increase B. spruce productivity by improving the physicochemical composition of the forest floor.
