Effects of Growth Medium and Planting Density on Growth and Flowering Characteristics Carnation

摘要

This research was done to investigate the comparative effects of different potting media with different compositions and planting density on growth and flowering of carnation chaubad. Different substrates including cocopeat+ pearlit+ vermicompost (10,60,30%), cocopeat+ pearlit+ vermicompost(20,60,20%), and cocopeat+ pearlit (40,60%), with density one and three plant in each pot were used. The experiment was carried out in completely randomized design. The data for parameters analyzed statistically showed significant effect of media combinations and density. Each treatment was consisted of 1 or 3 plants and was replicated thrice. Plants parameters of growth and flowering such as Flower length(cm), Flower diameter (cm), Root length (cm), Stem length (cm), Fresh weight (g) and Longevity (day) indicated using of growth medium content 20%vermecompost with density one in each pot is more useful than the other medium and density that were used in the study.
