“…On the contrary, when Scheiber et al (2008) observed that irrigation quantity did not affect final dry weights of shoot and root of Solenostemon scutellarioides (coleus). However, Fascella et al (2011) observed that two potted Euphorbia x lomi hybrids ('Nam Chok' and 'Udom Sab') plants with deficit irrigation showed higher top and root dry weight than control plants.…”

Three locations i.e. the nursery, the black saran house and the office and 4 amounts of water (300, 450, 600 and 750 cm 3 /pot/week) for irrigating, Schefflera arboricola, plants were compared. The following results were obtained: Plants grown in the nursery ranked the first among other treatments for the following characters; plant height, root length, root fresh and dry weights, leaf and stem contents of total carbohydrates, leaf contents of total chlorophyll and carotenoids. Plants grown in the saran house resulted in high values of plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, shoot fresh and dry weights. On the other hand, plants kept in the office for ornamentation scored the lowest values of all studied characteristics. Plants received 300 cm 3 /pot/week for irrigation achieved the highest rank concerning root length. Irrigating plants with 450 cm 3 /pot/week resulted in the highest values concerning plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, shoot fresh and dry weights, root length, content of total carbohydrates in leaves and stem. Irrigation with 600 cm 3 /pot/week gained the highest category for characters of plant height, shoot fresh and dry weights, root length, root dry weight and leaf content of total carbohydrates. Plants that obtained the lowest values in all characteristics were committed with those irrigated with 750 cm 3 /pot/week. The best watering amounts to be used in each location in order to attain the best ornamental characters, could be deduced from the interaction of the two previous factors as follows: The highest values of plant height, number of branches, number of leaves, shoot fresh and dry weights were achieved when 600, 450 or 300 cm 3 /pot/week were used to irrigate plants in the nursery, the saran house and the office, respectively. On the other side, using 750 cm 3 /pot/week for watering resulted in the lowest values of number of branches, number of leaves, shoot fresh and dry weights for plants in the three locations, in addition to plant height for plants grown in the saran house or kept in the office. It is recommended to grow Schefflera arboricola plants in the nursery rather than the saran house for production purposes, and to use T SAMIA Z. EL-BABLY AND OLA A. AMIN

“…These hybrids can be grown year-round in dry areas with high temperatures and solar radiation as potted or garden plants (Jankalski 2000). Although much is still to be known, several studies have already been carried out in the last decade in Italy that have made known the requirements of this euphorbia in outdoor cultivation and in a protected environment (Fascella et al 2006(Fascella et al , 2011(Fascella et al , 2015Fascella & Rouphael 2017;Giovino et al 2014). …”

“…In Sicily, extreme temperatures can cause leaf and flower abscission and plant death, especially at a juvenile stage (personal observations); it still also known that these hybrids are tolerant to drought and water deficit (Fascella et al 2011). However, very little information is available on the tolerance of this plant to the extreme Mediterranean seasonal temperatures that can damage or compromise growth and flowering (Giovino et al 2014).…”

In this contribution, we report information on the severe alterations caused by the stem boring moth Denticera divisella (Duponchel, 1842) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) on the cultivated Euphorbia x lomi Rauh (Euphorbiaceae). This plant is an ornamental hybrid of recent origin, much appreciated for the attractive inflorescences, used both as an apartment plant and, especially in Sicily, as an outdoor plant. In this region, this species is an important source of income for many nursing businesses that have replaced it with some species whose market was in crisis. The pyralid is an indigenous species with an European distribution, while Euphorbia x lomi is a hybrid from Thailandia native to Madagascar, with many varieties currently cultivated in the world. The observations were conducted in Sicily in 2014 and 2015.

Soluble bio-based substances (SBS) isolated from municipal biowastes and a commercial Leonarditebased product were applied as substrate drench or as foliar spray to grow the ornamental hybrid Euphorbia x lomi. The SBS were found more powerful than the commercial Leonardite product in enhancing plant photosynthesis, growth and aesthetic effect, improving flower quality, and optimizing water use efficiency. Enhancement factors of plant performance indicators by SBS ranged from 1.3 to 8.6 relatively to the control plants, and from 1.2 to 4.5 relatively to plants treated with the commercial Leonardite product at equal applied dose. The environmental and economic implication of these results for agriculture, the management of urban wastes, and the chemical industry are discussed.
