This experiment was carried out in a nursery at orchard of Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), Minas Gerais state; in order to evaluate the growth seedling of Surinam cherry in different substrates using the simple super phosphate. The study involved four doses of simple super phosphate 0; 2, 5; 5 e 10 kg m-3. and two substrates mix: A (organic compost + sand + soil in 1:1:3 volume proportion) and B ( Plantmax + sand + soil 1:1:3 volume proportion) A randomized block design was used with factorial scheme 4x2, with four replications and five plants by plot. The plants were evaluated when they were in field condition by the following characteristic: high of plants (cm); length of root (cm); number of leaves/plant, dry matter of aerial part, root and total (g/plant). Through the results was verify that in seedling of Surinam cherry, it is recommended to mix to the substrate the fertilizer simple super phosphate until the dose 6 kg m-3. Both substrates A or B are recommended for seedling of Surinam cherry.
