Efeito de rizobabactérias sobre o enraizamento e crescimento de clones de eucalipto em diferentes condi??es de propaga??o clonal

摘要

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of rhizobacteria isolates in increasing rooting and growth of eucalyptus clones under different conditions of clonal propagation. Increments of both rooting and root biomass varied according to the combination rhizobacterium isolate - eucalyptus clone, and no harmful effect was observed in any of the tested combinations. Average increase in rooting was 20.4% and in root biomass was 73.0%. Isolate S2 was the most effective in increasing rooting, whereas isolates S1 and S2 most effectively increased root biomass.
