“…Adoption of cultural management to the specific cultural system, as well as crop demand, can further result in the improvement of quality and quantity of horticultural products. Hussain et al (2014) and Sharkawi et al (2014), Barrett et al (2016) and Saurabh et al (2019) collected a reviewed on effect of different soil less growing media on vegetable production. They revealed that Soilless culture is a method of artificially supporting plants and serving as a reservoir for nutrients and water.…”

The present investigation is aimed to determine the effects of cocopeat and vermicompost on growth and yield of cucumber. Three different fertigation levels, i.e. 120% RDF, 100%RDF and 80% RDF were used as main treatments with three combination of soilless medias, i.e. 100% cocopeat, 100% vermicompost and 50% cocopeat + 50% vermicompost were used as a sub main treatments and replicated thrice with split-plot design in the year 2019 and 2020 under naturally ventilated polyhouse conditions. The results showed that treatment combination 100% RDF and 50% cocopeat + 50% vermicompost led to be optimum crop performance and highest yield. Although the highest rate of fertilizer application showed the highest nutrient content, the growth rate of the plants was not optimum among all the treatment combinations. Incorporation of fertilizer into cocopeat and vermicompost soilless growing media contributed to the maintenance of nutrient availability during the growth period, while excessive use of fertilizer did not enable to increase the yield.

One of the most important problems encountered in the cultivation of cut flower gladiolus is soil-borne diseases and pests. This problem substantially reduces flower yield and quality. Soilless culture is very limited for gladiolus and it has not been studied extensively. The characteristics of the growing media used in soilless culture either directly or indirectly affect yield and quality. Therefore, it is quite essential to determine the appropriate growing media in cut flower cultivation. At the same time good flower production usually depends upon various factors including the type of growing media used. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of two different gladiolus varieties (Gladiolus grandiflorus L. cv. “Purple Flora” and “Ibadan”) and six different growing media (peat+pumice: 1:1, v/v; peat+perlite: 1:1, v/v; rice hull+pumice: 1:2, v/v; coarse sand+peat: 2:1, v/v; soil; and cocopeat) on the some quality parameters of gladiolus in in Batı Akdeniz Agricultural Research Institute (BATEM), Antalya, Türkiye. Quality parameters (stem length, flower stem diameter, stem weight, flowering time, number of florest) were significantly (p < 0.01) affected by the different growing media and cultivars. Among the growing media, the earliest flowering time (77.8 days) and the longest stem length (128.0 cm) were determined in peat+perlite, whereas the largest number of florets (15.0 florets spike-1) were recorded in peat+pumice. Regarding the varieties, Purple Flora (84.7 days) flowered earlier than Ibadan (102.7 days), while Ibadan displayed more superior characteristics in terms of the other parameters.

“…The use of organic matter is very important to maintain the life of soil organisms in addition to provide nutrients for plants [16]. Apart from sand and humus soil, cuttings seedling media can also be mixed with organic materials such as filter cake (sugarcane waste) [17], rice husks [18], sawdust [19]. There has never been research on the interaction between organic media and 2.4 D in breadfruit root cuttings, so indepth research is needed on this matter.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of organic matter in the planting medium and a concentration of 2.4 D on the growth of breadfruit root cuttings. This experiment was carried out in the form of a factorial experiment consisting of two factors using a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with 2 treatment factors. The first treatment was utilizing media of organic materials; filter cake, sawdust and rice husk. The second treatment was adding a concentration of 2.4 D: 1.0; 1.5 ; and 2.0 mL.L-1 water. The experimental results showed that breadfruit root cuttings in the filter media were better for shoot height, number of leaves, leaf area and root volume compared to sawdust and rice husk media. A low concentration of 2.4 D (1.0 mL.L-1 water) showed better growth of shoot height and number of leaves than higher concentrations. The interaction of filter cake media and low concentration of 2.4 D (1.0 mL.L-1 water) had a significant effect on the sprouting rate of breadfruit root cuttings. The study therefore concluded that the interaction of filter cake media with the addition of 2.4 D concentration showed that the increase in auxin concentration was inversely proportional to the rate of sprouting rate produced by breadfruit seeds and became the best treatment combination on the parameter of sprouting rate.
