Seeds were sown in the following substrates were Red Latosol pure (LP), Red Latosol conditioned wiht fowl-run manure (A) and corral manure (B), treated with water at 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125% of culture evapotranspiration. The randomized complete blocks design was used, in factorial scheme 3x5 with four replications. The substrates A and B they presented better results in relation and AP for all the evaluated characteristics.
