description In Mexico, the deforested area is high and the percentages of plant survival in reforestation programs are low. One of the key factors to increase plant survival is a good seedling quality. For the plant production in forest nurseries of Mexico, two groups of substrates are basically used: one mostly with soil (in traditional nurseries) and other with an important proportion of peat moss (technified nurseries). The first alters the natural areas already disturbed and the second is expensive. This work aims to evaluate the seedling quality of Pinus greggii Engelm. ex Parl. produced in different sawdust-based growing media, with fertilization and inoculation with an ectomycorrhizal fungus. The plants were grown in a greenhouse and evaluated after 10 months. The seedling quality was evaluated through the use of indicators, and morphological and physiological indices. Also, the physical and chemical properties of the growing media used in the present study were analyzed. In general, the seedlings were graded as medium to high quality. The treatments that obtained good grades with the highest number of quality indicators corresponded mostly to those inoculated. The best treatment corresponded to one with 80% sawdust and 20% pine bark growing media, with 8 g of controlled-release fertilizer and 75 ppm of nitrogen. It is possible to produce quality Pinus greggii seedlings with growing media based on sawdust, fertilized and inoculated with mycorrhizae fungus.

En México la superficie deforestada es elevada y los porcentajes de supervivencia de planta en programas de reforestación son bajos. Uno de los factores claves para aumentar la supervivencia es tener una planta de buena calidad. En la producción de planta en viveros de México se utilizan básicamente dos tipos de sustratos: uno dominado por suelo de monte (en viveros tradicionales) y otro con una proporción importante de turba de musgo (viveros tecnificados). El primero altera las áreas naturales, ya de por sí perturbadas y el segundo es costoso. Debido a lo anterior, el presente trabajo tiene por objeto evaluar la calidad de planta de Pinus greggii Engelm. ex Parl. producidas en diferentes sustratos a base de aserrín, con fertilización e inoculación con un hongo ectomicorrícico. Las plantas permanecieron en invernadero y se evaluaron a los 10 meses. La calidad de planta se evaluó mediante indicadores e índices morfológicos y fisiológicos. También se analizaron las propiedades físicas y químicas de los sustratos utilizados en el presente estudio. En términos generales, las plantas calificaron con una calidad media a alta. Los tratamientos que obtuvieron mayor número de buenas calificaciones en los indicadores de calidad correspondieron principalmente a los inoculados. El mejor tratamiento correspondió a un sustrato con 80% de aserrín y 20% de corteza de pino, 8 g de fertilizante de liberación controlada y 75 ppm de nitrógeno. Es posible producir plantas de P. greggii de calidad con sustratos a base de aserrín, fertilizados y micorrizados.
