PRODUCTIVITY AND SURVIVAL OF Eucalyptus benthamii MINISTUMPS IN HYDROPONICS SYSTEM AND IN PLASTIC TUBES

<p>This work aimed to evaluate the productivity and survival of <em>Eucalyptus benthamii</em> ministumps from seminal origin, handled in hydroponics systems and in plastic tubes. The survival differences was not verified among the handling systems studied, while for the productivity of the ministumps the hydroponic systems presented best results, with average of 8,1 minicuttings per ministumps per collection in comparison with 4,1 for the plastic tubes system. These results allowed to conclude that the handling of the ministumps in tubes and in hydroponic systems is technically viable, being the latter a more promising alternative for production of vegetative propagules of the species.</p>
