Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of mycogroe and
vermicompost on the growth, survival, and shoot-root ratio of kamagong seedlings. The study was conducted at the northern portion of Grevilla Robusta Plantation at DMMMSU-NLUC Forest Experimental Farm from August 13, 2005 to February 13, 2007. The treatments used in the study were the following:
T0– Control (Garden Soil)
T1 – Garden Soil plus 1 Mycogroe Tablet
T2 – 75% soil: 25% Vermicompost
T3 – 25% Vermicompost and 75% Soil with 1 Mycogroe Tablet
The experiment was laid out following the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Each treatment was replicated four times.
Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significance of the
parameters of the study.
Results of the study revealed that height, diameter, and percentage survival of kamagong seedlings were not affected by the application of mycogroe and vermicompost. On the final biomass and shoot-root ratio, seedlings grown under T2 (75% GS + vermicompost) had the highest water stress avoidance potential as it obtained the lowest shoot-root ratio while the seedlings grown under T0 (garden soil) had the lowest water stress avoidance potential as it obtained the highest shoot-root ratio.
