The effect of compost produced from pistachio and rice wastes on micronutrients and physiological parameters of Epipremnum aureum in greenhouse condition
This
experiment was carried to evaluate the effects of pistachio hull and rice husk
compost, as culture medium, on Chlorophyll contents, Phenol, Carotenoide and micronutrients of Scindapsus aureus (Scindapsus aureus)
plants. Rooted cuttings were used as plant
materials and cultured in pots (40×30cm) filled with the
following media: S1= 50%
leaf mould 50% Soil (control), S2 = 100% rice husk, S3
= 70% rice husk 30%
pistachio hull, S4:
50% rice husk 50% pistachio hull, S5= 30% rice husk 70% pistachio hulland S6 = 100%
pistachio hull. Our data showed that all measured parameters
decreased when pistachio hull was greater than 50%, so that the Fv/Fm and Ch a
was increased using pistachio hull rate up to 50% and decreased in S5 (30% rice husk 70% pistachio
hull). The Zn and Mn concentration of root was increased using
pistachio hull rate up to 50%. Application of rice husk in combination with
pistachio hull, improved growth of plants. The best vegetative parameters
obtained with S4 and S2.
