Olive-mill Waste Compost as a Growth Medium Component for Foliage Potted Plants

Research was carried out to evaluate composted olive-mill waste as a peat substitute in foliage potted plant production. Rooted cuttings of Codiaeum variegatum (L.) A. Juss and Syngonium podophyllum Schott were grown for 5 months and Ficus benjamina L. for 10 months in media containing olive-mill waste compost (OWC), sphagnum peat and perlite in 1:3:4, 1:1:2, and 3:1:4 ratio (by volume), respec...

Differentiated Microelement Content in Anthurium (anthurium Cultorum Birdsey) Leaves*

The main objective of the study was to determine the nutritional status in terms of the content of microelements, such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper and boron in several standard cultivars of anthurium (Anthurium cultorum Birdsey) called Baron, Choco, Midori, Pistache, President and Tropical. The plants were grown in expanded clay (ř 8-18 mm) using drip fertigation with standard nutrient for...

Calculation of Foliage Mass and Foliage Area

Introduction In Finland, the forest canopies are the main source of the volatile organic compounds (VOC). These forests are representative of the boreal ones, and they cover about 80% of the total land area of the territory of Finland. The forests throughout the country are utilised commercially and managed regularly with the consequence that the natural tree species composition is much affecte...

The Potted Plant Packing Problem

In this article we describe a practical planning problem, the potted plant packing problem, and our first approaches to solve this problem. The transportation of plants is comparably expensive as they require careful treatment due to there sensitivity. For standardised transport, potted plants are loaded on transport trollies. The cost of transportation depends on the number of these trollies. ...
