Abstract
Deforestation in Mexico has made restoration an urgent requirement. Erythrinaamericana is a multipurpose tree, useful for seasonally dry tropical forest restoration;however, it is poorly studied. Macropropagation of this species is advantageouswhen compared with sexual reproduction, since it requires scarification to germinate. Inthis study, the effects of the exogenous application of the phytohormone (indole-3-butyricacid) in the cuttings and/or a slow-release phosphate fertilizer (SRPF) in the substrate wereevaluated on the growth and survival of E. americana cuttings in a greenhouse. We used arandomized experimental design of four blocks with 10 cuttings per treatment. We harvested10 cuttings per treatment after 36, 66, 96 and 126 days of growth, and evaluated survival,total dry biomass production (TDB), relative growth rate (RGR), and resource allocation (RA).Cutting survival was high, averaging 95 %. Treatments did not affect total TDB, RGR or RA.However, the application of SRPF in the substrate showed significantly higher (P < 0.05)dry root biomass values. Growth periods also affect the RGR and RA. Macropropagationof E. americana was successful and non-labor-intensive, making this technique a feasiblealternative for restoration projects mainly in low-resource rural communities.
