Standardization of Nursery Techniques of <I>Acacia auriculiformis</I>, A. Cunn. Ex Benth under Dehra Dun Climatic Conditions Part-II Effect of Soil Medium, Containers and Seed Sowing

Abstract

Acacia auriculiformis seedlings were raised in different soil media in different containers. The results of this investigation revealed that the seedlings could be raised in either nursery beds or wooden boxes by dibbling the seeds at 1 cm depth or by direct sowing in polybags. The soil media (soil and sand) should be in 2:1 ratio. Farm Yard Manure could be added later on at transplanting stage for better growth of the seedlings.
