Abstract

An experiment was carried out at the Federal University of Paraná, Brazil, which was established and developed under controlled conditions of greenhouse. The aim of this research was to obtain a methodology to improve the adaptation process of seedlings of the oil palm Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex mart., obtained from the in vitro culture of zygotic embryos. A substrate composed of soil and river sand washed in proportion (3:1) was used and the following products were applied to the seedlings: Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) and a Spirostic Analogue of Brassinosteroid (Biobras-16), with four treatments, which were: 1-Control, 2-Inoculation of the Plants with AMF and one application of Biobras-16 to the transplant, 3- Inoculation of the plants with AMF and 4- inoculation of the plants with AMF and two applications of Biobras-16, one at the transplant time and another 30 days later. The results showed that the best treatment was the number 2, in which the vitroplants were inoculated with AMF and a foliar spray was performed with the Biobras-16 at the time of transplantation, which produced an increase in the different growth and development rates of the plants with respect to the other treatments.
