Crescimento de mudas de morangueiro através da inoculação de Trichoderma, rizóbio e incorporação de silício

Abstract

The strawberry is regarded as the main representative of the small fruits group, especially because of its significant economic relevance, the fruit also stands out for its pleasant taste, good appearance and considerable nutritional and vitamin values. In order to obtain more productive and resistant plants, the use of elements and growth promoter agents may provide a quick and suitable seedlings development during the culture establishment. This work aimed to study the effect of the Trichoderma, rhizobium and silicon incorporation as growth promoter in strawberry seedlings submitted to different interactions among them. The study will be conducted in South Frontier Federal University, campus Cerro Largo in the northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul state in Brazil (UFFS). The experimental delineation will be conducted as randomized blocks, with eight treatments of which T1 will be the one that will not receive any inoculation or silicon incorporation, T2 will be inoculated with Trichoderma only, T3 rhizobium only, T4 the inoculation of Trichoderma + rhizobium, T5 will receive only silicon incorporation, T6 the silicon incorporation + Trichoderma inoculation, T7 the silicon incorporation + rhizobium inoculation and T8 the silicon incorporation + rhizobium and Trichoderma, with four repetitions. The morphological and physiological evaluations will be performed 60 days after the strawberry seedlings transplant, the obtained data will be submitted to Tukey test in 5% of probability. The present work expects to demonstrate the potential of microorganisms inoculation and elements incorporation as growth promoters in strawberry seedlings, furthermore, to observe if really occurs interaction among microorganisms and silicon to this growth promotion.
