Abstract

Studies on nursery treatments in arecanut showed that the seedlings performance differed significantly due to container size and pot mixture. In particular, the larger size container (25 x 15 cm) with pot mixture of soil sand+ Vesicular- Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) at 2:1:0.1 base produced vigourous seedlings followed by soil sand vermicompost at 2:1:1 mixture in nursery stage. It might be due to the better aeration in larger containers that facilitated easy root penetration and supply of adequate nutrients to the growing seedlings.

Keywords: Arecanut, Vigourous seedling, Nursery mixture, Container size.
