| dc.description.abstract | De-oiled seed cakes, which are considered as a waste product arising from biodiesel industries, contains beneficial nutrients for plant growth and thus, have a great potential to be used as an organic manure. In this regard, two experiments were conducted at the College of Forestry, Sirsi during 2016-17 in order to know the impact of de-oiled seed cake of Calophyllum inophyllum on the germination parameters as well as seedling growth of Casuarina equisetifolia. Both the experiments were laid in Completely Randomized Design. In first experiment, powdered de-oiled seed cake, farmyard manure (FYM) and their combinations were applied in various quantities to the potting medium. The results indicated that de-oiled seed cake of C. inophyllum had a significant impact on seed germination parameters. Out of fifteen treatments used, maximum germination percentage (47.33%), mean daily germination (0.63), peak value (0.82), germination rate (0.92) and germination value (0.52) were recorded in the potting medium containing combination of soil and sand along with 200 g FYM and 37 g cake. Results of second experiment indicated that application of different quantities of C. inophyllum seed cake (both sterilized and non-sterilized), farmyard manure, vermicompost and poultry manure significantly enhanced the growth of C. equisetifolia seedlings. Among eighteen treatments imposed, maximum seedling height (69.51 cm), collar diameter (3.53 mm), seedling fresh weight (32.93 g) and seedling dry weight (10.21 g) were recorded when 2.5 g nitrogen (N) was applied through non-sterilized cake. These findings suggest that use of de-oiled seed cake of C. inophyllum in the potting medium provided a good way to enhance the germination attributes and seedling growth of C. equisetifolia. | en_US |
