araucaria excelsa l. of araucariaceae family is a beautiful conifer which has a high economic importance in the flower industry. a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with two factors: 1. irrigation intervals in 2, 4 and 6 days (i1, i2 and i3) and 2. the growth bed in pots 3 l included m1 (100 % v/v cocopeat), m2 (100%  municipal waste compost), m3 (100 % vermicompo...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cocopeat: perlite medium with three ratios (v/v) (1:1, 3:1 and 1:3) on some vegetative, flowering and biochemical parameters of two gladiolus cultivars (Strong and White) under soilless conditions in 2016. Data indicated that most vegetative parameters expressed as plant height, leaf number and leaf area, flowering parameter such as spike eme...

This study was designed to examine the characteristics of sawdust and cocopeat bedding materials, including physicochemical properties (Exp. I) and on-farm trial (Exp. II). In Exp. I, the proportion of particle size was in the order of sawdust> cocopeat India>cocopeat Vietnam (p<0.05), and cocopeat contained higher proportion of small particles (250 μm+below 250 μm) than sawdust, causing a dust...

the selection of a growing medium is one of the most important decisions in the culture of hydroponic crops. in order to select a suitable medium for hydroponic cucumber (cucumis sativus l. cv. negin), an experiment was carried out on growing media containing different particle sizes of perlite and organic substrates in a run-to-waste system in a greenhouse experiment. the growing media tested ...
