Germination and seedling growth of yemane (Gmelina arborea roxb.) as affected by different soil media
Seventy (70) seeds were sown in different soil media namely: (1) Ordinary Garden Soil (OGS), (2) OGS + Sand, (3) OGS + Sand + BIOTAB, (4) OGS + BIOTAB, (5) OGS + 5g NPK, (6) OGS + 4g NPK, and (7) OGS + 3g NPK. After a 42 - day observation period, the highest mean percent germination of 97 percent wa...

| Summary: | Seventy (70) seeds were sown in different soil media namely: (1) Ordinary Garden Soil (OGS), (2) OGS + Sand, (3) OGS + Sand + BIOTAB, (4) OGS + BIOTAB, (5) OGS + 5g NPK, (6) OGS + 4g NPK, and (7) OGS + 3g NPK. After a 42 - day observation period, the highest mean percent germination of 97 percent was noted in seeds planted in OGS, OGS + BIOTAB, OGS+ 3g NPK. The lowest mean percent germination noted was 93 percent in the seeds sown in OGS + 5g NPK. No significant differences were observedSeedlings grown in OGS+BIOTAB, OGS + 5g NPK, and OGS + 4g NPK had significantly higher number of leaves and greater root/shoot ratio compared to the seedling grown in the other substrates. No significant differences were observed in plant height (cm), leaf area (cm), and percent N of leaf tissue in the seedlings grown in all of the soil media. |
