Abstract

This research was developed at the “Universidade Federal da Paraíba” (CCA/UFPB) with the objective of testing different sizes of recipients in the production of Bauhinia forficata seedlings. The seeds came from seed trees located at the margins of the Department of Fitotecnia lake polyethylene plastic bags were used with different dimensions: 30 x 25 cm, 30 x 15 cm, 17 x 15 cm and 15 x 9 cm. For number of leaves, height of the seedlings and diameter it was detected a linear growth of the seedlings along the evaluation periods, originating from all the recipients, presenting larger values in the last period for those that were been in the recipient (30 x 25 cm). The recipients of bigger dimension (30 x 25 cm) favored larger vegetative development of the seedlings of Bauhinia forficata and the smallest dimension (15 x 9 cm) they reduced the rate of growth of the seedlings, implicating increase of the production cycle.
