Mango Seed Germination in Different Media at Different Depth

Abstract

The research study “Mango seed germination in different media at different depth “was  conducted in Jabban, Dargai, Malakand agency during 2010. The results indicate that both media and sowing depths had significant effect on various parameters. In case of different media  the minimum days to germination 18.56 the maximum shoot length 5.56cm and maximum number of leaves 5.56 were recorded in soil+sand+fym.  Similarly in case of different depth, the minimum days to germination 18.83, maximum  maximum shoot length 6.5cm and maximum number of leaves 5.5 were recorded at the depth 7.5cm. It is concluded from the study that mango seed sowing is best in soil+sand+fym in all respects e.g. days to germination, shoot length and number leaves as compared to other media(soil, soil+sand, soil+sand+fym+saw dust) and Mango seed sowing is best at the depth7.5cm in all respects.
