Abstract
The growth of wild durian seedling Durio lowianus grown on six different media 100 coconut coir dust CCD 2 CCD : 1 sand 1 CCD : 1 sand 100 peat 1 CCD : 1 peat and 3 soil : 2 sand : 2 organic matter : 1 POME was evaluated for six months. Differences in leaf number were marked at the fourth month after planting. The plants grown on soil-based medium produced more leaves than the other media. At the grown on soil-based medium produced more leaves than the other media. At the sixth month plants grown on soil-based medium had 41 leaves while leaf number for other media were between 17 and 27. Similar trend of results were detected for plant height and stem diameter but marked difference in the two parameters were only noticed at five months after planting. Stem diameter of plants grown on soil-based medium was 26 larger than those grown on other media. Plants grown on soil-based media also had the largest number of branches 6.4/plant. This was followed by those grown on 100 peat 4.4/plant. The number of branches for other treatments were generally fewer ranging from 2.0 to 2.9 per plant.
