Abstract

Emerald grass (Zoysia japonica Steud) due to its versatility adapts well to sports and residential lawns, being highly sought after by the consumer market. In Brazil, most lawns are formed by planting boards or mats, generating a high cost of implantation. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate different substrates for the formation of Z. japonica seedlings. The experiment was carried out in the municipality of Areia-PB, in the open air, using emerald grass seedlings with sand, subsoil, cob and cattle manure substrates. The doses used for mixing the substrates were 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50%, totaling 15 treatments with 5 replications and the experimental design used was in randomized blocks. Treatments with doses equal to or less than 10% of cattle manure did not show commercially viable characteristics in the evaluated variables. The use of crushed corn cob for the production of emerald grass is viable at a dose of 10%. The composite treatments of subsoil (25%) and sand (25%) in its composition showed the worst performance, in addition to accentuating the negative characteristics of the corn cob. The best development of emerald grass was observed in mixtures with 50% subsoil, 40% manure and 10% cob.
