   Subscribe/Renew Journal


A nursery trial of Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis with 3 pot sizes and 4 dates of sowing was conducted in the year 1992/1993. Results of the trial have indicated that growth parameters viz. shoot length, ischolar_main length and ischolar_main collar diameter etc. varied considerably with different pot sizes and time of sowing. A nursery period of about five months was found optimum for production of a planting stock of 25-30 cm height with pot size of 10 cm × 15 cm.

Abstract


A nursery trial of Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis with 3 pot sizes and 4 dates of sowing was conducted in the year 1992/1993. Results of the trial have indicated that growth parameters viz. shoot length, ischolar_main length and ischolar_main collar diameter etc. varied considerably with different pot sizes and time of sowing. A nursery period of about five months was found optimum for production of a planting stock of 25-30 cm height with pot size of 10 cm × 15 cm.
