PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria) is a substance that helps plant growth with the help of rhizosphere microorganisms. PGPR propagation can be done with liquid media. This PGPR propagation needs to be done because this substance has many benefits for agricultural cultivation. The application of PGPR to the test plant, namely the pakcoy plant, proved that there was an effect of giving PGPR to the plant. Observations on the test plants were carried out by observing several observation variables such as plant height, root length, number of leaves, wet weight and dry weight. The results of these observations showed that the effect on the test plants was seen in the variables of root length, wet weight, and dry weight. Meanwhile, the variable plant height and number of leaves did not show a visible difference.

<p>A moringa (<em>Moringa oleifera</em> Lam) é uma árvore nativa da Índia e de elevada importância principalmente pelo seu valor nutricional, medicinal e de purificação da água. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de níveis de fertilização orgânica no crescimento e desenvolvimento inicial de mudas de moringa nas condições semiáridas do Estado da Paraíba, Brasil. O experimento foi conduzido em condições de túnel plástico, localizado no Centro de Ciências e Tecnologia Agroalimentar, da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus de Pombal, UFCG. Utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com os tratamentos compostos de sete níveis de fertilização orgânica (0,0; 108,0; 216,0; 432,0; 864,0; 1728,0 e 3456,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup>), com quatro repetições. Foram avaliados os seguintes parâmetros: i) altura das plantas (cm), ii) diâmetro do caule (mm), iii) número de folhas, iv) fitomassa fresca das folhas, v) fiomassa seca da parte aérea (g), vi) fitomassa seca da raiz (g), vii) razão fitomassa seca da parte aérea/raiz (g) e, viii) comprimento da raiz principal (cm). A utilização dos níveis de fertilização orgânica influenciou significativamente o crescimento e desenvolvimento inicial das mudas de moringa. Com a elevação dos níveis de esterco adicionados ao substrato, observou-se o decréscimo das variáveis analisadas, tendo como melhor resultado o nível de 864,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> para a altura da planta e o nível de 432,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> para os demais parâmetros avaliados. O nível de 432,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> provocou os maiores acréscimos na massa seca da parte aérea e comprimento das raízes. Os níveis de esterco bovino de 108,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> e 432,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup>, promoveram um maior incremento para a razão entre a parte aérea/raiz e comprimento da raiz, respectivamente. Para produção de mudas de moringa de boa qualidade a aplicação de pequenas quantidades de esterco bovino é suficiente.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>O</em></strong><strong><em>rganic fertilization levels on the vegetative growth of moringa (</em></strong><em>Moringa oleifera<strong> Lam.)</strong></em><strong><em></em></strong></p><p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>Moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam) is a tree native of India and high importance especially for its nutritional value, medicinal and water purification. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of organic fertilization levels on growth and initial development of moringa seedlings in semi-arid conditions of the State of Paraiba, Brazil. The experiment was conducted in plastic tunnel conditions, located in the Centro de Ciências e tecnologia Agroalimentar da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus de Pombal, UFCG. We used a completely randomized design with the treatments composed of seven levels of organic fertilization (0,0; 108,0; 216,0; 432,0; 864,0; 1728,0 e 3456,0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup>), with four repetitions. The following parameters were evaluated: i) plant height (cm), ii) stem diameter (mm), iii) number of leaves, iv) fresh weight of leaves, v) dry weight of shoots (g), vi) dry weight of the root (g), vii) dry weight ratio of shoot / root (g) and viii) main root length (cm). The use of organic fertilization levels significantly influenced the growth and early development of moringa seedlings. With the rise of manure levels added to the substrate, there was the decrease of the variables analyzed, with a best result the level of 864.0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> for plant height and the level of 432.0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> for the other parameters. The level of 432.0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> caused the greatest increases in dry weight of shoot and root length. The levels of bovine manure 108.0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup> and 432.0 g.vaso<sup>-1</sup>, promoted a greater increase for the ratio of root / shoot and root length, respectively. To produce good quality moringa seedlings the application of small amounts of bovine manure is sufficient.</p>

Mushroom production has become more popular in our environment. The most common cultivated mushroom is Agaricus bisporus. After mushrooms are harvested a large amount of used compost remains. This compost is a good material and producers used it as alternative substrate in plant production. The benefits of this compost are numerous like high content of organic matter and the rich mineral composition. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the use of spent mushroom compost (as alternative substrate) on growth and development of roots and above-ground parts of sage transplants (Salvia officinalis L.). Measurements of morphological parameters of plants (plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and plant diameter) were performed, as well as determination of fresh and dry weight of roots and above-ground parts of transplants. Application of spent mushroom substrate in the production of sage Salvia officinalis L. positively influenced growth and development as well as fresh and dry weight of roots and above-ground parts of treated plants compared to nontreated plants during transplanting growing stage. Plant height (+104%), number of leaves (+65%), number of branches (+143%), plant diameter (89%), were significantly increased by the spent mushroom compost application compared to the control - commercial substrate.
