EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TREE SPECIES LEAF LEACHATE ON GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH OF SOME VEGETABLE CROPS IN NURSERY CONDITION
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 54
Abstract
The experiment comprised of seven tree species viz., Eucalyptus hybrid, Tectona grandis, Casuarin aequisetifolia, Mitragyna parvifolia, Terminalia arjuna, Manilkara achras and Mangifera indica; eight vegetable crops viz., Okra, Tomato, Brinjal, Cabbage, Chilli, Indian bean, Cowpea and Cluster bean and concentrations of four leaf leachates viz., distilled water, 5 % concentration of leaf leachate, 10 % concentration of leaf leachate and 20 % concentration of leaf leachate in FCRD with three repetitions. In nursery condition, significantly maximum germination percentage, germination velocity, germination energy, seed vigour index, shoot length, fresh weight of plant and dry weight of plant were recorded in Teak (Tectonagrandis); whereas root length was noted significantly maximum in Mango (Mangiferaindica). However, all most all the parameters for germination and seedling growth were reported minimum in Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus hybrid).In case of various vegetable crops, maximum germination percentage and germination energy foundin Cabbage; maximum germination velocity in Cluster bean and highest seed vigour index recorded in Okra. Whereas, minimumvalues were observed in Chilli with respect to germination percentage, germination energy and seed vigour index and Okra for germination velocity.However, significantly maximum germination percentage, germination energy, seed vigour index, shoot length, root length, fresh weight of plant and dry weight of plant were noticed in Control thereafter decreasing trends was observed from 5 % to 20 % concentration of leaf leachate. The germination and seedling growth of vegetable crops decreased as the concentration of leaf leachates increased.The trend of inhibition was L1 (0 %) < L2 (5%) < L3 (10%) < L4 (20%).
