INFLUENCE OF GALLERY COMPOSITION AND COVERING REGIME TO THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF PLANTS CINNAMOMUM BEJOLGHOTA (BUCH-HAM) NURTURE PHASE

Abstract

Cinnamomum bejolghota (Buch-Ham) Sweet is a large, multi-purpose native tree species, currently popularly grown for essential oil. However, breeding seedlings at the nursery stage requires research on physiological and ecological characteristics to create healthy seedlings, ensuring quality to meet actual production requirements. Research results show that the potting mixture composition of 94% topsoil + 5% manure + 1% Super phosphate is the best for Cinnamomum bejolghota (Buch-Ham) Sweet seedlings in the nursery stage. The light shading experimental formulas did not have a clear effect on the survival rate of seedlings but had a clear effect on the growth of seedlings in terms of base diameter and top height. The 75% shading formula is best for seedlings growing in the nursery stage in all measured parameters.
