“…(1:1:1) and T 8 = coconut peat+ compost + leaf compost + perlite + silt (1:1:1:1:1) gives optimum growth, because pH and quantity of nitrogen were optimal as reported earlier in lilium by Grassoti et al (2003). Similar trend was observed by Treder (2008).…”

Purpose Different agricultural substrates were evaluated for growth and productivity of cucumber under pot culture for kitchen gardening. Methods Several agricultural substrates such as leaf compost, compost, perlite, and coconut compost were used in with silt in several combinations. Seeds were sown in plastic pots of 9-L capacity and filled with growing substrates in various combinations. The study consisted of eight treatments; each treatment had four replicates. Results Use of different growing media alone or in combination significantly enhanced plant growth and productivity, compared to control. Results showed that maximum germination, plant growth, emergence percentage, gas exchange attributes, shoot/root length, shoot fresh and dry biomass, root fresh and dry biomass, no. of leaves, leaf mineral contents, and chlorophyll concentration and yield was noted in the plants grown in leaf compost + perlite + silt (1:1:1) media combination. In case of proline contents, all treatment combinations showed non-significant; but, NPK status varied because of the presence of organic matter in substrates that ultimately enhanced the nutrient uptake of cucumber plants. Conclusions Although all media either alone or in combination positively influenced different studied parameters of cucumber, but, leaf compost + perlite + silt (1:1:1) combination was the best. Therefore, leaf compost + perlite + silt (1:1:1) media combination could be considered suitable for the cucumber cultivation in the form of kitchen gardening.

“…Growing media containing silt and Lahore compost exhibited their superiority for stalk thickness, stem diameter, flower fresh and dry weights, and its ratio contrast to conventional media which proves that this kind of media can be used for gerbera production effectively. These results are in consistent with Grassotti et al (2003) and Caballero et al (2009) who observed that growing media having combination of silt ? compost and manure can produce the maximum flower stalk thickness, fresh, and dry weights of gladiolus and lily.…”

“…In current research, excellent nutrient quality with maximum phosphorus and potassium contents (27.00 and 500 ppm, respectively) was achieved in SFT growing media. Good quality flowers obtained in this combination is a confirmatory with Grassotti et al (2003). Treder (2008) (Abad et al 2001) which has been seen in this research work.…”

Purpose This study was performed to investigate the impact of various agricultural wastes as potting media on growth, yield, and quality flower production of Gerbera jamesonii L. cv. hybrid mix, and to estimate hazardous impact of chemical fertilizers. Method The effect of four agricultural substrates viz. farm yard manure, coconut coir dust, Lahore compost (local produce), and leaf compost combined with conventional media i.e., garden soil, sand, and silt in equal proportion was studied for commercial production of gerbera. All the treatment combinations were arranged into completely randomized design with three replicates. Result Visible variations in morphological characters were evidenced among conventional medium and agricultural waste as substrates with significant superiority of flower quality and plant growth. The presented results showed that treatment combination of silt, coconut coir dust, and top soil (SCT) produced maximum plant height while mixture of silt, Lahore compost and top soil (SLT) gave maximum number of leaves per plant and maximum flower stalk thickness. The highest values for leaf area, number of roots, flower fresh to dry weight ratio and number of flowers per plant were achieved in combination of silt, farm yard manure, and top soil (SFT) whereas silt, sand, and top soil (SST) presented maximum flower diameter, maximum fresh, and dry weight of flowers. Chemical characteristics of growing media showed superiority of silt, farm yard manure, and top soil (SFT) and silt, sand, and top soil (STL) for available phosphorus and potassium with values of 27.0 and 500 ppm, respectively. Conclusion It was concluded that the application of waste materials in combination with silt provided positive results for vegetative and reproductive growth of Gerbera jamesonii plants.

“…When the plants reached the three-leaf period, fertigation was started. The composition of the nutrient solution was prepared as follows by considering the physical and chemical properties of the growing medium and according to Grasotti et al [13] and Magnani et al [14] The nutrient solution consisted of 130 N, 62 P, 185 K, 100 Ca, 93 Mg, and 4 Fe, whereas pH values and electrical conductivity values were 5.5-6.0 and 1.2-1.4 mS/cm, respectively.…”

“…Likewise, Tribulato and Noto [22] reported that the use of peat and basalt mixture increased the flower stem length in Lilium varieties. Grassotti et al [13] determined that longer flower stems were found in perlite+coconut, coconut fiber, and the perlite+peat substrate, as compared to clay pellets+coconut fiber and perlite. Lopez et al [23] reported that the stem length, the spike length and the number of florets in the plants grown singly in peat were greater than those of the plants grown singly in perlite in gladiolus (Gladiolus tristis subsp.…”

In this study, six different growing media (peat+pumice: 1:1, v/v; peat+perlite: 1:1, v/v; rice hull+pumice: 1:2, v/v; coarse sand+peat: 2:1, v/v; soil; and cocopeat) were evaluated for their effects on the plant growth and flower quality of the oriental 'Siberia' and 'Vespucci' lily varieties. Seven hundred and twenty bulbs were planted in perforated plastic crates and placed in an unheated greenhouse. The physical and chemical properties of the growing media were examined. The number of days to flowering, plant height, the number of flowers, fresh stem weight, the number of leaves and vase life were investigated in the study. The results indicated that the use of soilless growing media significantly affected plant growth and flower quality when compared with soil. The obtained values varied by substrate type. The earliest flowering time (154.78 d) and the longest plant height (120.82 cm in the 'Siberia' variety) were determined in peat+pumice, whereas the largest number of flowers (7 flowers in Siberia; 5.67 flowers in Vespucci) and the highest stem weight (266.13 g in Vespucci; 353.91 g in Siberia) were recorded in cocopeat. The vase life of the plants grown in soil was longer than that of the plants grown in the soilless culture. Regarding the number of leaves, rice hull+pumice (57.42 leaves) and sand+peat (54.46 leaves) gave the best results.
