Malip M., . and Yusof M. Z., . (1996) Effect of different sources of organic matter for potting mixtures on the growth of mangosteen seedlings. [Proceedings Paper]

Abstract

Four types of organic matter were tested they were pome paddy husk cowdung and sawdust. The use of organic matter in soil mixture at the rate of 3:2: 1 sand:organic matter:soil were tested for mangosteen seedlings at nursery stage for 2 years. Pome and ivars tors paddy husk were found to show positive response for plant height stern area and leaf D number. Shoot dry weight for Pome and paddy husk were 41 .79g and 41 .48g respectively leef while root dry weight for pome and paddy husk were 8.98g and 8.58g respectively. The highest shoot:root ratio was pome 4.86 followed by paddy husk 4.62 cowdung 3.09 and ter sawdust 1.85. This clearly indicated that pome and paddy husk are suitable organic matter for soil mixture of mangosteen seedlings.
