Investigating the effect of different cultivation media on some morphological traits of roses

Today, various organic and inorganic materials are used as growing media. Each of these materials has unique characteristics. In general, these materials should have water retention capacity, sufficient ventilation, appropriate drainage, and high cation exchange capacity, and should also not have any adverse or harmful effects on the plant. In order to investigate the possibility of replacing cocopeat growing media and perlite with new and inexpensive growing media obtained from waste organic materials and mineral compounds in cultivation and Buy Roses Gerbera cuttings, Rosaline variety, a study was conducted based on a completely randomized block design with 7 treatments and 3 replications. The treatments used included cocopeat 50% + perlite 50% (control), cocopeat 50% + leaf soil 50%, perlite 50% + leaf soil 50%, perlite 50% + vermicompost 50%, garden soil 35% + perlite 15% + cocopeat 50%, garden soil 35% + href="http://biorivas.com/shop.php?lang=fa" target="_blank">perlite15%+leaf soil 50% and garden soil35%+perlite15%+vermicompost 50%. The measured traits were: survival of roses on the plant, stem diameter, stem height, leaf area, number of roses and number of leaves. Based on the results obtained, the highest number of leaves and flowers, stem height and diameter were observed in the cultivation medium (cocopeat50%+leaf soil50%), and the highest leaf area was observed in the cultivation medium (perlite 50%+vermicompost 50%). In general, the results of this study indicated that the growing media (cocopeat50%+leaf soil 50%) and (perlite50%+vermicompost 50%) can be recommended for growing Gerbera (Rosalin) cultivar.
