Larcher F., Berruti A., Gullino P., Scariot V., 2011. Reducing peat and growth regulator input in camellia pot cultivation. Hort. Sci. (Prague), 38: 35–42. Regulating plant development plays an important part in Camellia japonica L. pot production. Cultivation usually occurs on peat-based substrate and growth control is performed with triazoles application. However, there is an increasing need for suitable peat alternatives and more eff ective protocols. Th is study evaluated the eff ectiveness of three diff erent dosages (50, 100, 200 mg/l) and two application protocols (foliar spray, once or twice) of paclobutrazol on two C. japonica cultivars grown on eight diff erent substrate mixtures. Th e substrates were composed of four peat substitutes (local green compost, pumice, composted coconut peat, and pine bark) mixed with the standard substrate at 30–40% by volume. Treated plants showed reduction in most of the growth-related parameters, enhancement of ornamental value and an overall plant health improvement. Basically, one application of paclobutrazol 50 mg/l was suffi ciently active. Among substrates, pine bark appeared to be a suitable partial peat alternative. Considering their lower cost and eff ective performances, pumice and coconut peat proved suitable alternatives, too.
