Propagação da espécie do Coité através do uso de enraizadores sintéticos.

Abstract

Crescentia cujete L. is a species belonging to the Bignoniaceae family, and may be popularly known as coité, calabash or cuieira. It is a plant with wide distribution in Brazilian territory, with its greatest occurrence in the caatinga and its potential extends to ornamental, artisanal and medicinal. This work aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using synthetic rooters in different concentrations in the development of Crescentia cujete L. roots using the minicutting technique. The experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Campina Grande, Cuité campus, in the greenhouse for a period of 90 days. To carry it out, the apical branches of the species were collected at the educational institution itself for production and preparation of the minicuttings used in the experiment and then they were subjected to 4 treatments, one being the control group and the others with the use of synthetic rooting agents, Indolebutyric Acid (IBA) 2%, Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) 0.4% and indulbutyric Acid + Naphthalene Acetic Acid 1%. After data collection was carried out, they underwent statistical analysis, identifying that the use of synthetic rooters applied did not exert a significant influence on the vegetative propagation of this species.
