| dc.description.abstract | An investigation on “Effect of media composition on seed germination, seedling growth and its effect on grafting in mango (Mangifera indica L.)” was carried out during July 2010 to February 2011 at Division of Horticulture, University of Agircultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized complete block design with three Mango varieties involving nine compositions of media (soil, sand, compost, coirpith and vermicompost in different ratio) with control. Among the varieties, Nekkare recorded statistically significant difference in time taken for first seed to germinate, time taken for 50 per cent germination, leaf area, height of seedlings, girth of seedling, length of longest secondary roots, length of sprout, graft success, time taken for sprouting and height of grafted plant. The maximum germination percentage, number of leaves, length of primary root and number of secondary roots was recorded in Neelum. The treatment soil: sand: compost: coirpith (1:1:1:1) recorded the minimum days for first seed to germinate (21.66 days), minimum time for 50 per cent germination (30.77 days), maximum germination percentage (45.55%), maximum height of seedling (28.97 cm), maximum girth of seedling (0.83 cm), highest number of secondary roots (25.55) and minimum days (10.77 days) for first sprouting. The number of leaves (15.03), leaf area (54.82 cm2), number of branches (2.21), graft success (94.43 %), length of sprout (9.33 cm) and height of grafted plant (17.38 cm) was maximum in treatment soil: sand: compost: coirpith (2:1:1:1). | en_US |
