Abstract

The rambutan fruit is a culture that still little known, but with high potential of market, such as lychee, fruit of the same family. The orchards have been installed using seedlings originated from seeds, generating high variability among the plants and produced fruits. As the layering has been shown effective to obtaining the litchi seedlings, this research was realized, in order to verify the response of rambutan propagation by layering in the different seasons of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter). The branches were selected from the middle of the canopy of the trees in production, and about 50 cm from the top was done the girdling, which was wrapped with sphagnum and transparent plastic. For each season, were done 12 air layering in 5 plants, totaling 60 air layering. The evaluation, realized 110 days after layering, as about: percentage of air layering root, callus, and survival of the layers while in the matrix plant. From the results, can be conclude that is possible to produce seedlings of rambutan culture by layering, indicating that be done in the spring.
