Effect of different potting media on success of Bullock’s heart (Annona reticulata L.)


Author(s): Afreen A Khot, MM Kulkarni, Nirmal OA and RA Jadhav

Abstract: The effect of different potting media on seed germination and survival of Bullock’s heart (Annona reticulata L.) was determined. The highest germination percentage (70.66 %) was recorded in Soil + FYM (2:1) whereas, the lowest germination percentage (33.33 %) was observed in Soil + FYM (1:2). All the potting media treatments had non-significant effect on survival percentage. In most of the treatments survival percentage was 100 %. It can be concluded that the success of Bullock’s heart seedlings was best in Soil +FYM (2:1). However, performance was also better in soil + vermicompost (1:1), soil + FYM + cocopeat (1:1:1) and FYM + vermicompost + cocopeat (1:1:1). Moreover, FYM + vermicompost + cocopeat (1:1:1) is soilless medium under study that also showed better results. With view to reduce weight of potting media or use of soilless media for easy transportation especially by air or sea, these potting medium have future prospects.
