Effect of growing media on rooting and growth of patchouli (Pogostemon cablin) cuttings in subtropical humid region of Arunachal Pradesh.

摘要

An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different growing media on rooting and seedling growth of patchouli cuttings. Among different growing media viz. soil, riverbed silt and FYM in different combinations, an equal ratio of all above gave the highest (98.8%) survivability. It also produced significantly superior seedling quality in terms of basal girth of the stem, number of leaves, plant height, shoot dry weight, root length and root dry weight.
