PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF SHOOT: ROOT RATIO ON SURVIVAL AND EARLY GROWTH OF GREWIA OPTIVA DRUMMOND IN PLANTATION

摘要

The present study was undertaken to study the effect of shoot: root ratio on survival and early growth of Grewia optiva in plantation. The results indicated that the shoot: root ratio had no significant effect on collar diameter but affected the survival and height growth significantly. Therefore, the seedlings having the shoot: root ratio of 1:1 should be preferred for planting out in the field.
