Partial controls of the microclimatic conditions have a major influence on plant growth and productivity. Moreover, is largely dependent physicochemical properties growing media. The purpose this study was to see how different media shade houses affected strawberry growth, yield, quality attributes. experimental treatments include net house, UV poly open field (control) conditions; three i.e., ...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of liquid organic fertilizers as well boron (B) application on growth Solanum Lycopersicon (tomato) in soilless culture media which using cocopeat media. There were 16 treatments with 5 replications, including Controls (unapplied and AB fertilizer), (fish amino acid [FAA] shrimp extract [SE]) B application. Each experiment carried out for 8 weeks a...

The results of present investigation revealed that among the different potting media treatments, M1: Vermiculite + Garden soil Sand was found to be most beneficial for improving took days germination, germination percentage, height seedling, number leaves seedling-1, stem diameter, primary roots length (cm), secondary roots, fresh and dry shoots weight, seed vigor index – I II leaf area (cm). I...

The constant farmers-herders clash has predisposed farmers to insecurity in Nigeria thereby making farming open field difficult. hydroponics system gained popularity the cultivation of vegetable crops around World. However, Nigeria, there is dearth information on usage as an alternative soil farming. Hence, need investigate suitability producing cucumber using compared soil. Seeds three varieti...

Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) consists of the application labile organic materials to soil, flooding, and covering surface with plastic film. is a widely used ecofriendly alternative chemical fumigation for eliminating soil-borne plant pathogens. However, exact mode action ASD has not been elucidated. In particular, potential role anaerobic bacteria in unclear. this study, we isolated pre...

Oriental hybrid lily “Arabian Red” mother scales were stored in moist cocopeat and perlite (1:1) for 3 or 5 months at 25 ̊C. The numbers of scale bulblets per mother scale were nearly identical in two durations. Increasing storage duration promoted the growth of roots (number and length) and No. scales per scale bulblets. And, diameters of scale bulblets were more in longer storage duration (5 m...

Discharge of nitrogen (N) with wastewater causes eutrophication in surface water. On the other hand, nutrient-rich can be valuable for agriculture. Tailoring N removal or conservation is important to meet requirements different water end uses. Improved vertical flow constructed wetlands hydroponic materials (CWH) as substrata were developed at lab scale a greenhouse and studied optimize CWH. Th...

Abstract Litsea garciae Vidal. (engkala, kalangkala) is a fruit-producing plant useful as potential medicinal and food. The availability of seedlings must if their to be developed. study aimed evaluate the formation growth roots shoots L. shoot cuttings in response regulators arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation. used factorial experiment with completely randomized design. treatments ...

Ascophyllum nodosum is the most important commercial seaweed. Seaweeds have been applied as soil conditioners in improving plant growth and development in agricultural crops. In current study and for the first time, extracts of brown seaweed A. nodosum improved the growth of Robinia pseudoacasia L., an ornamental tree. This research investigated the effect of cultivation beds (sand, perlite, co...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the role of banana extract (BE) on synchronous plantlet formation from seeds of Dendrobium lituiflorum Lindl. The seedlings formed on modified Knudson C (KC) medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) BE had significantly high fresh and dry weights. Morphologically uniform plantlets with elongated leaves and well developed roots were formed on KC medium w...
