Four levels of fertilizer were tested (0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 g dm(-3)) in three types of substrates: BIOCPI = Sewage sludge l Peach-palm bark (1:1 v:v); BIOCPII- Sewage sludge + Peach-palm bark (1:2 v:v) and BIOCPIII - Sewage sludge + Peach-palm bark (1:3 v:v). Plant height, stem diameter, dry matter (shoot and root), height/diameter ratio, Dickson quality index and N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and S contents in the shoot were measured. The use of the substrates BIOCPII and BIOCPIII proved to be viable for the production of Brazilian Peppertree seedlings. Doses above 4.0 gdm(-3) of granular fertilizer are recommended for better results.10engmacronutrientsnurseriessewage sludgesubstrateBrazilian PeppertreeArtigo10.1590/2179-8087.110417S2179-80872019000300113WOS:000471122600012Acesso abertoS2179-80872019000300113.pdf
