A Comparative Study on the Effect of Foliar Application of NPK and Different Mediums on Melia azedarach L. Growth
Journal Title: International Journal of Plant & Soil Science - Year 2017, Vol 19, Issue 5
Abstract
An experiment was conducted to study the effects of NPK foliar application and three different Mediums including (Sand, Compost and Peat moss) on the growth of pre-sowing Melia azedarach L. seeds. NPK application (20-20-20) at 500 ppm concentration significantly increased of shoot length 202.58 mm, shoot dry weight 1.93 g, root fresh weight 0.68 g and root dry weight 0.37 g. Seeds sowed in three different mediums; Sand, Compost and Peat moss the results showed that Peat moss had best performance in almost all the parameters shoot diameter 2.52 mm, shoot length 248.92 mm, shoot dry weight 2.23 g and root fresh weight 0.83 g. Interaction of medium Peat moss with NPK 500 ppm significantly increased all the studied parameters.
