METHODS USED FOR THE GROWING AND REFORESTATION OF Vanillosmopsis arborea BAKER AN ENDEMIC SPECIES OF ARARIPE PLATE

Abstract

The species Vanillosmopsis arborea BAKER (Asteraceae), popularly known as candeeiro, represents one of the seven native Brazilian species of the genus Vanillosmopsis. Ceará, Pernambuco and Piauí (SANTOS et al., 2009). It presents economic potential due to its bioactive properties and expressiveness of the amount of (-) - α-bisabolol in its oil. The risk of extinction and the diversification of predatory actions on species of economic potential, as in the case of the species under study, justifies the search for research on the cultivation and sustainable management of the species. The objective of this research was to carry out a literature review of the methods used for the cultivation and reforestation of Vanillosmopsis arborea BAKER. The study was carried out by means of a systematic literature review of works published in Portuguese, therefore, 05 works were used, for the search it was used mainly the databases "Web of Science", "Science direct", "Pubmed" , "Scielo" and Google Scholar, with results updated from 2002 to 2018. The following keywords were used, alone and in combinations: Vanillosmopsis arborea, Cultivation, propagation. CALVOCANTI's research (2002) aimed to repopulate four areas of clearings in Chapada do Araripe, 330 seedlings were produced by cuttings.
