Abstract

to the economic and environmental limitations in the use of peat moss as a growth medium of Ornamental plants, researchers seek an appropriate alternative in flower and plants industry. Zeolite is a good candidate to replace peat moss because of its high capacity of water holding and cation exchange. This research addresses the feasibility of substituting peat moss by Zeolite as a growth medium of Dracaena marginata. The control medium was a 2: 1 ratio of peat: perlite and six levels of Zeolite (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50% v/v) in the replacement of peat were used in a completely randomized design. Some chemical and physical characteristics of growth media were measured including EC, pH, total nitrogen, organic carbon, C/N ratio, available phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, bulk density, porosity, and field capacity. The plant growth parameters were also measured including height, stem diameter, leaf number, and fresh weight of leaves, roots and stem. The highest stem height was obtained from 10% v/v treatment of Zeolite. However, stem height did not show a significant difference with control in 40 and 50% v/v Zeolite. Fresh weight of leaves was greater than the control in all Zeolite treatments, and in other growth indices, 10% v/v treatment entailed a better response of plants. The bulk density was increased and the porosity was decreased with the increase in Zeolite. Porosity, EC, aeration porosity, and field capacity had the highest effect on the growth indices in 10-20% v/v Zeolite.
