“…As an example, we can cite Kämpf (2005), who reports that for ornamental plants we can use AS of 2%-5% (eg, Ivy), 5%-10% (eg, Lily), 10%-20% (eg, Begonia) and 20%-30% (eg, Rhododendron). Monteiro et al, (2020) while studying the production of seedlings of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) and black wattle (Acacia decurrens Wild), in different substrates, reinforces the necessity for a study regarding each species and/or variety, given that the results obtained in his studies were different for each plant. In addition, the generic "ideal" values for the physical and chemical characteristics of substrates are questioned.…”

Cultivation in protected environments and containers culminated in the need of the use substrates with specific chemical and physical characteristics; assuming that a fundamental role in cultivation of horticultural plants. In this way, the objective was to describe the main physical and chemical characteristics of substrates, as well as the main methodologies for analysis. As physical characteristics we can refer as examples: density on a wet and dry basis, total porosity, air space and water retention (easily available, buffering capacity and remaining water). The most important chemical characteristics in substrates include pH, electrical conductivity and available nutrient content. These characteristics are responsible for all the nutritional dynamics and the availability of water and air in the culture medium, so they must be known, tested and managed during cultivation. Thus, it is possible to establish parameters for plant cultivation in containers, being also possible to correlate its influence on plant development for scientific research.

“…Monteiro et al (2019) and Monteiro et al (2021), when evaluating the chemical characteristics of substrates with different doses of sewage sludge and carbonized rice husks, found that the amount of nutrients increased with an increase in the percentage of sewage sludge in the substrate. Many studies addressing the use of sewage sludge in agriculture state that it is a source of nutrients in substrates, particularly P, N, and Ca (Guerrini & Trigueiro, 2004;Santos et al, 2014;Monteiro et al, 2020b).
