Passion fruit in Brazil holds significant economic importance in fruit farming, with the country being among
the world's leading producers of the fruit. However, there is still a need for improvements in the cultivation of
this crop. The aim of this study was to assess the initial performance of passion fruit seedlings in response to
the effects of different substrates. The experimental design adopted was completely randomized, with six
treatments and four repetitions, namely: soil + sand (3:1); soil + sand + cattle manure (2:1:1); soil + sand +
poultry litter (2:1:1); soil + sand + castor oil cake (2:1:1); commercial bioplant substrate; soil + sand + bone
meal (2:1:1). The variety of passion fruit was the yellow round type. The results obtained showed a significant
difference among the treatments for the variables Germination Percentage (GP), Plant Height (PH), Number
of Leaves (NL), and Stem Diameter (SD). Therefore, it was possible to observe that passion fruit seedlings
showed better development for all evaluated characteristics when using the treatments soil + sand + cattle
manure and soil + sand + poultry litter.
