The work aimed to study the formation of Tabebuia chrysotricha Standl. seedlings in function of four substrates, varying the fertirrigation solutions. To compose the substrate, fibrous and granulated coconut fiber was used, obtaining the following treatments: 100% fibrous, 60% fibrous and 40% granulated, 40% fibrous and 60% granulated and 100% granulated. The base fertilization was the same for all treatments and the solutions of fertilization varied in order to obtain complete solutions with electric conductivities of 1.06 dS m-1, 2.12 dS m-1, 3.2 dS m-1 and 4.25 dS m-1. The propagative material was sowed directly into plastic containers (120mL) with the respective substrates. The fertilization was received through sub irrigation once a week, respecting the treatments of fertilizations. When the seedlings reached 20cm of height, approximately, they were replaced under black screens (9% of shading), where they remained until planting in Taubaté-SP. Seedlings produced in coconut fiber 100% granulate reached, in the field, higher heights, stem diameters and number of leaves. In function of applied solutions, heights of the aerial part were homogeneous starting from 167 days after planting. The production of T. chrysotricha seedlings is recommended in granulated coconut fiber substrate and fertilizer solutions with electric conductivity of 1.06 dS m-1.
