Title: Substrate and fertilizer protocol selection for Lisianthus seedling nursery.
Abstract: During Lisianthus seedling nursery,four kinds of peat was mixed with perlite,with or without lime and nine different types of substrates were constituted;five types of fertilizer protocol was also screened to find the one with the best combination of N,P,K,Ca and Mg.The growth amount of seedling was examined by measuring the percentage of qualified seedling,crown width,root length,shoot weight and root weight.It was found that the percentage of qualified seedling,crown weight and roots weight was significantly increased by adding lime to adjust pH to 6.3-6.8.Furthermore,the best result was showed as domestic peat Y-6 and Y-3 mixed in 1∶1 ratio or only K-876 plus lime.Among 5 fertilizer protocol,the best result was showed as N∶P∶K∶Ca∶Mg equal to 10∶5∶10∶8∶3.
