Abstract: One of the important factors in plant production is the use of substrates that increase the development speed of seedlings. This study aims to evaluate the influence of different substrates in the production of ‘mangabeira’ (Hancornia speciosa Gomes), ‘cumbarueiro’ (Dipteryx alata Vog.) and ‘cagaiteira’ (Eugenia dysenterica DC) seedlings. The evaluated substrates were: soil, soil + cattle manure, soil + carbonized rice husk, soil + cattle manure + carbonized rice husk. The variables evaluated were: plant height, stem diameter, and fresh and dry mass of the aerial part and root system. In all three cases, the seedlings best growth rate could be obtained upon the use of only the soil as substrate.
