Resumo

The initial growth of Cerrado tree species is slow, what impairs large scale seedling production for planting. The effect of plant hormones is well known for crop species, in this study we aimed to test the effect of two commercial biostimulants on the initial growth of six native tree species widely distributed and abundant in Cerrado. We applied nine treatments using foliar spray: T0 - control (water); commercial Progibbí® (gibberellic acid) T1 - 0,8 mL.L-1; T2 - 1,6 mL.L-1; T3 - 2,4 mL.L-1 and T4 - 3,2 mL.L-1; commercial Stimulateí® (gibberellic acid, cytokinin and auxin): T5 - 6,0 mL.L-1; T6 - 8,0 mL.L-1; T7 - 12,0 mL.L-1; T8 - 18,0 mL.L-1 and T9 - 24,0 mL.L-1. We measured plant height and diameter every other week and recorded root and shoot biomass and leaf area after 111 growing days. No treatment significantly increased plants' initial growth, which may only happen after higher and/or repeated use of these two biostimulants, especially Progibbí® for Anacardium humile and Jacaranda cuspidifolia and Stimulateí® for Hymenaea stignocarpa and Copaifera langsdorfii.
