Standardizing the Nursery Technology of <I>Robinia pseudoacacia</I>

Abstract

Study was carried out on the effect of root/shoot ratio, fertilizer application and storage of stumps on growth parameters of Robinia pseudoacacia. The findings showed the best root/shoot ratio as 1.5 for raising the saplings of robinia. In response to fertilizer application, N₅₀ P₃₀ K₃₀ level exhibited promising results in comparison to other levels. The storage of stumps exhibited an adverse effect on the sprouting, survival and growth parameters excepting the number of branches with the lapse of time.
