Abstract

It was evaluated the development of Citrus rootstock on substrates composed of burn rice husk. The experiment was carried out in the Fepagro Fruticultura, Taquari – RS, using three substrates (mix, comercial substrate and burn rice husk) and two rootstocks seeds (Poncirus trifoliata and Citrus sunki ), placed in plugs (50 cm3) and cultived in a greenhouse. The experimental design was completely randomized, in a factorial (3x2), with 4 replicates and 8 seeds per plot. The seeds germination and seedlin- gs diameter were not affected by the substrate type. The seedlings reached the biggest height in the mix substrate. The burn rice husk is a alternative in the composition of substrates to seeds germination of Citrus rootstocks.
