“…The variation in graft diameter may be attributed to the presence of a well-developed root system in large polybags, which enhance nutrient and water absorption from the soil. Soil in the smaller polybags becomes compacted and can affect number of leaf growth as well as diameter of the graft, which supports the findings of Abera et al (2018), Haldankar et al (2014) in mango and Begum et al (2021) in Khaya anthotheca.…”

“…A well-developed root system contributes for better uptake of nutrients and water from the soil, increased formation of amides, amino acids, proteins, lipids, hormones and other organic substances (Amar Singh, 2003). In larger polybag sizes, the increased soil volume provides more nutrients, resulting in vigorous graft growth which supports the findings of Singh (1998) in bhalia, Ilyas et al (2014) in kinnow and Abera et al (2018).…”

The present investigation entitled "Impact of different size of polybags on mango grafts under protected structures" was carried out at Fruit Nursery, Department of Fruit Science, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra during the year 2022-23 with the objectives to study the effect of different poly bag size and protected structures on success and survival of mango grafts. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with factor A as different poly bag size viz., B 1 (6''×9"), B 2 (7''×11'') and B 3 (8''×12") and Factor B as protected structures viz., S 1 (Insect proof net), S 2 (50% green shade net), S 3 (70% green shade net), S 4 (Polytunnel) and S 5 (Open conditions) replicated four times. The result of the present investigation revealed that the polybag size B 3 was significantly superior in the length of scion (17.58 cm), number of leaves per graft (14.64) and diameter of graft union (7.15 mm) as compared to B 1 and B 2 at 150 DAG. Study on protected structures revealed that at 150 DAG the length of scion (19.10 cm), the maximum number of leaves (15.33), the diameter of graft (7.29 mm), the success percentage (79.16%) and final survival percentage (86.74%) of grafted plants was recorded to be superior in S 1 followed by S 2 as compared to other treatments. The interaction between poly bag size and protected conditions revealed that treatment combination S 1 B 3 was significantly superior in length of scion (21.74 cm), number of leaves (16.61) and diameter of graft (7.66 mm) as compared to other treatment combinations at 150 DAG.

“…Dengan pembibitan combo, pemeliharaan ketiga tanaman di persemaian dapat dilakukan secara intensif, termasuk penyiraman, penyulaman dan pemupukan. Persaingan air, unsur hara, dan ruangan antar tanaman akan terjadi dalam pembibitan combo, untuk itu tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ukuran polibag dan media yang sesuai untuk mengurangi kompetisi antar tanaman sebagaimana temuan Abera et al (2018). Jenis tanaman yang dicoba dalam penelitian ini adalah, S. leprosula, G. sepium,dan rumput B. decumbens karena memiliki keunggulan-keunggulan seperti telah dijelaskan di atas.…”

Combo nursery technique is a technique where seedlings/cuttings of Shorea leprosula, Gliricidia sepium, and Brachiaria decumbens grass were planted in one polybag to support mining reclamation. To reduce competition effects among the three species, optimum media and size of polybag need to be investigated. The objective of this experiment is to analyse the effect of size of polybag and media composition on the growth of S. leprosula, G. sepium, and B. decumbens grass in the combo nursery technique. The experiment used Randomised Complete Design in Factorial with two factors, i.e. media compositions (soil : compost (2 : 1, v/v), (1 : 1, v/v), (1 : 2, v/v), and soil : compost : rice husk (7:3:1, v/v/v); and size of polybag (15 x 20 cm, 20 x 20 cm, dan 25 x 25 cm). Each treatment had four replications, and each replication consisted of four polybags. The results showed no significant interaction effects between the composition of media and the size of polybag; however, media compositions of soil: compost (1:1) and (1:2), and the sizes of polybag 20 x 20 cm and 25 x 25 cm significantly eliminated competition and significantly increased the growth of S. leprosula and the number of tiller of B. decumbens grass.

“…This may be due to better moisture and nutrient supply by the potting mixture in T2. Abera, B. et al, (2018) showed that polybag size was the factor that had the greatest effect on seedling growth, suggesting that the effects of small or medium polybag size cannot be mediated by using appropriate planting soil mixtures.…”

Bamboos are naturally propagating both sexually and asexually from seeds and rhizomes. Dendrocalamus asper is one of the popular multipurpose bamboo species in Sri Lanka and lack of research conducted in the country. Therefore to recommend proper potting type, basal dressing and planting hole dimensions are timely important. The objectives of the present study were to identify effective potting type with proper pot height and suitable basal dressing at nursery stage and effective planting hole dimension at field level along with, measure the vegetative growth of Dendrocalamus asper. A field trial conducted at Thalgaswella estate (WL2a) in Galle district, Sri Lanka from May 2019 to March 2020. At the nursery stage seedlings were arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with twelve replicates. At the field level plants were arranged in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with six replicates and data were statistically analyzed by using software (SAS version 9.1). According to the results, nursery with 10" height black polythene pot with sand: coir dust: compost: top soil in 2; 1; 3/4; 1/2 potting media and at field level bamboo plants planted in 2 x 2 x 2 ½ feet size hole was shown the highest growth performance at 6 months after field establishment. Therefore it is recommended to use 10" height black polythene pot with the ratio of sand: coir dust: compost: top soil in 2; 1; 3/4; 1/2 potting media at nursery level. When transfer plants to field planting 2 x 2 x 2 ½ feet planting hole is more suitable.
