چکیده مقاله :
Araucaria excelsa L. of Araucariaceae family is a beautiful conifer which has a high economic importance in the flower industry. A factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with two factors: 1. Irrigation intervals in 2, 4 and 6 days (I1, I2 and I3) and 2. The growth bed in pots 3 L included M1 (100 % v/v cocopeat), M2 (100% municipal waste compost), M3 (100 % vermicompost), M4 (25 % cocopeat + 25 % perlite + 25 % soil + 25 % municipal waste compost), M5 (25 % cocopeat + 25 % vermicompost + 25 % soil + 25 % perlite) and M6 (25 % vermicompost +25 % municipal waste compost + 25 % perlite + 25 % soil) was conducted with 18 treatments in three replications. Traits that were measured in this experiment included height of the crown, number of lateral shoot, branches distance, number of branches, length of lateral shoot, fresh weight of root and shoot, total fresh weight, dry weight of root and shoot, total dry weight. The results showed that the growth indices increased in 100 % vermicompost. The treatment I1M3 was the best treatment in the growth of plant. The 100 % vermicompost bed had a better response to 6 days irrigation than in the other beds, but it was observed a considerable difference in the growth indices between 6 days and 2 days periods of irrigation.
آروکاریای زینتی L. Araucaria excelsa از خانواده Araucariaceae از جمله سوزنی‌برگان زیبا است که دارای اهمیت اقتصادی بالایی در صنعت گل­کاری می‌باشد. یک آزمایش فاکتوریل در قالب طرح بلوک‌های­ کامل تصادفی با دو فاکتور: رژیم آبیاری شامل I1 (آبیاری دو روزه )، I2 (آبیاری چهار روزه)، I3(آبیاری شش روزه) و بستر‌کشت شاملM1 (کوکوپیت 100%)، M2 (کمپوست زباله شهری 100%)، M3(ورمی‌کمپوست 100%)، M4 ( 25% کوکوپیت + 25% پرلیت+ 25% خاک سبک+ 25% کمپوست زباله شهری)، M5 (25% کوکوپیت+ 25% ورمی کمپوست+ 25% خاک سبک+ 25% پرلیت )، M6 (25% ورمی کمپوست + 25% کمپوست زباله شهری + 25% خاک سبک + 25% پرلیت )، با 18 تیمار در سه تکرار طراحی و اجرا شد. صفات اندازه‌گیری شده در این آزمایش شامل ارتفاع بوته از طوقه، تعداد شاخه‌های جانبی، اندازه فاصله طبقات، تعداد طبقات، طول شاخه‌های جانبی، وزن تر ریشه، وزن تر ساقه، وزن تر کل، وزن خشک ریشه، وزن خشک ساقه و وزن خشک کل بود. نتایج نشان داد شاخص­های رشد در بستر 100% ورمی‌کمپوست افزایش یافت. این تیمار به همراه آبیاری دو روز بهترین تیمار در رشد گیاه محسوب شد. بستر کشت مذکور در مقایسه با بسترهای دیگر پاسخ بهتری به آبیاری شش روزه داشت، اما تفاوت قابل ملاحظه­ای در رشد گیاه بین آبیاری دو و شش روز وجود داشت
