EFFECT OF DIFFERENT MEDIA AND IRRIGATION AMOUNTS ON SOME GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS OF PASPALUM (Paspalum vaginatum).
Pot expereimet was carried out during 2014 – 2015 On Paspalum vaginatum (paspalum turf) at research station and laboratory of the department of vegetables and ornamental plants-Faculty of Agriculture Mansoura University.
Four mixtures of culture media were used to investigate the effect of compost on vegetative growth under three water levels as follows: Soil Mixtures:
Media
Sand%
Clay%
Compost% (vol./vol./vol.)
1st medium

2nd medium

Irrigation:
a.(1.250)L/week/pot.
b.(2.500)L/week/pot.
c.(3.750)L/week/pot.
Results revealed that plant height was significantly affected by compost and irrigation.The use of the 4th media with 3.75L/pot significantly gave the greatest highet 7.23 cm.
Fresh weight in the same media under the same irrigation significantly produced the greatest value (77.42 g/pot).
Dry weight percentage did not affected by media and irrigation as 2nd media with only1.25L/pot gave the value 37.66% while,1st media with 3.75L/pot gave 37.65% with out significant differeces in between.
