“…This increase in collar diameter with manure application could be attributed to increased availability of nutrients through mineralization of the manure (Biederman and Harpole, 2013;Khaitov et al, 2019). Some studies had also reported similar results where there was an increase in collar diameter of Acacia senegal seedlings with manure application compared to the control (Daldoum and Hammad, 2015). The results of this study also show that seedlings treated with biochar had a lower collar diameter than the control (Table 3).…”

“…The increase in C. equisetifolia seedling height with manure application can be attributed to increased available nitrogen with manure application. Manure used for the experiment had a narrow C/N ratio which led to net N mineralization compared to biochar which had a wider C/N ratio (Table 2) (Truong and Marschner, 2018;Daldoum and Hammad, 2015). Such increase in plant height with manure application had also been reported by Prakash et al (2014) who used seedlings of Calendula officinalis.…”

This study investigated the effects of biochar and manure applied singly or together on soil biochemical properties, Casuarina equisetifolia seedling growth and seedling quality. Therefore, a nursery experiment consisting of Prosopis juliflora biochar and cattle manure treatments at 0% (control), 10% biochar, 20% biochar, 10% manure, 10% biochar + 10% manure, and 20% biochar + 10% manure was conducted. Generally, biochar containing treatments recorded higher P concentrations; where the combination of 20% biochar and 10% manure gave the highest phosphorus concentration, which was 137.3% above the control. Nitrate concentrations were higher in manure treatments than the control by 122.9%. As a result of C. equisetifolia's ability to fix nitrogen, nitrates concentration in the control increased from 0.016 ppm at the onset of the experiment to 2.18 ppm at the end the experiment. There was also a general increase in pH with biochar and manure application. Seedlings treated with 10% manure recorded the highest collar diameter and height which was 36.4 and 27.4% above the control respectively while treatments with biochar alone recorded the lowest seedling collar diameters. Seedling quality as observed using the shoot/root ratio showed that sole biochar treatments had the recommended range of <3:1. These results suggest that the use of biochar and manure enhances nitrogen and phosphorus availability which are crucial for production of seedlings that grow significantly faster than seedlings raised from forest soil only.

“…A positive effect of nutrient supply on Senegalia senegal growth has been revealed in an earlier study [42]. The significant increase in total biomass was likely due, in part, to the significant increase in the net photosynthetic rate under fertilizer conditions in most families (Figure 1a).…”

Abstract:Multipurpose trees such as Senegalia senegal are widespread in arid and semi-arid lands that have natural or induced saline soils and poor soil fertility. Such environmental problems impact growth and have the potential to influence plant physiological adaptations. Identifying superior genotypes better adapted to these environmental stresses will be of great importance for tree selection for reclamation of degraded drylands. The main objective of this study was to examine the growth performance, and physiological and morphological adaptations to salinity, and fertility treatments of different Senegalia senegal families. We used five families (DB16, DB14, K4B19, K17B19, NB1) selected from 60 families of a Senegalia senegal progeny trial in Dahra, Senegal. Seedlings were grown under greenhouse conditions by watering all plants for three weeks and then stopping all watering for three more weeks. In a randomized complete block design, a two-level factorial combination was used for salinity (zero and 183.1 mM NaCl added) and fertility (zero and 100 kg/ha N-P-K added) treatments. A significant family × salt × fertilizer interaction was found for all biomass parameters (leaf dry matter, stem dry matter, root dry matter, and leaf area). The fertilizer application resulted in a significant increase of total biomass of all families, ranging from 63% to 237% for NB1 and K17B19, respectively. In contrast, salt only decreased total biomass of NB1 and K17B19 increased growth. Despite similar net photosynthetic rates before treatment started, fertilizer and salinity induced different effects between families. Prior to drought stress, fertilizer did not affect photosynthesis of DB16, while salt significantly decreased stomatal conductance of all families. DB16 and N1B1, despite significant differences of stomata size and density, significantly decreased transpiration, and thereby increased their intrinsic water use efficiency. Under drought, relative growth rate was significantly decreased. Given that genotype differences were found, these families and salinity and fertilizer treatments need to be explored in field trials.

“…The results of present study indicated that the used of peat soil (100%) as the medium of geronggang seedling was relatively time consuming, due to in other tree species the good quality seedling could be obtained at the shorter time, i.e of 3 -7 months [12,20,23,24]. This relatively long duration also was showed by the study of [14], which was showed that the qualified geronggang's seedling from wilding system and grown in top soil+compost medium could obtain in the age of 8 MAT.…”

Geronggang (Cratoxylum arborescens) is one of native tree species of tropical peat swamp forest which has a good potency both planted for rehabilitation and industrial purposes. Nevertheless, before this tree species can be cultivated on a large scale, much silviculture knowledge and technology must be accessible, including the technique of seedling propagation. This study evaluated the growth and quality of geronggang seedlings grown in different mediums and containers. The seedling was grown in topsoil (M1) and peat (M2) medium with three containers (C1 = plastic pot (volume (v) = 120 mL); C2 = plastic pot (v = 300 mL) and C3 = polybag (v = 400 mL)). As the control, the seedling was also grown in topsoil + compost medium combined with polybag (M3C3). Growth (height (H), collar diameter (D), and biomass) and morphological ((shoot/root (S/R), D/H) and Dickson quality index (DQI)) attributes of the seedling and medium properties were observed. Peat medium had better results than topsoil (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the seedlings grown in peat medium had the highest performance. M2W3 was the treatment with adequate quality to be outplanted at nine months, with H, D, S/R, H/D, and DQI were 25.4 cm, 3.6 mm, 6.94, 1.37, and 0.36, respectively. The results indicated that using peat alone as a medium in geronggang seedling propagation was relatively time-consuming.
