This study aims to analyze the incorporation of basalt rock dust to a commercial substrate based on pine bark under two light conditions on initial growth of Monteverdia ilicifolia (Mart. Ex Reissek) Biral seedlings. We evaluated four proportions of rock dust: 0% (control), 10%, 20%, and 30% on plants kept unshaded and under 50% shading for 140 days. The unshaded condition associated with basalt rock dust incor...
