The production of Physalis peruviana L. in semi-tropical and tropical regions is an alternative. for medium and small farmers. However technical information aspects like seedling adaption, cultivation and production need attention. Thus, the objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of different substrates and container volume in the initial growth of Physalis peruviana L. seedlings. The work was conducted from September to November, 2019, in a greenhouse located at Fazenda Experimental of the Federal University of Espírito Santo. The experiment was conducted in completely randomised design with 6 treatment combinations I.e. (R1 = container with volume of 50 cm3; R2 = container with volume of 280 cm3; and R3 = plastic cup with volume of 500 cm3) and two substrates (S1 = Bioplant® and S2 = Provaso® + soil 1:1) and was replicated four times. After 60 days of experiment, the results demonstrated that the treatment composed by a container with volume of 500 cm3 + substrate Provaso® + soil provided a better seedlings growth and quality.
