Author(s): Smriti Tuti and Dr. Urfi Fatmi
Abstract: The present investigation entitled “Response of different varieties of Aglaonema to fly ash as potting media†was carried out during 2018 – 2019 at the Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences using Factorial Complete Randomize Design having 12 treatments. Three different varieties of Aglaonema i.e. Aglaonema costatum, Aglaonema silver queen, Aglaonema modestum were evaluated with four different ratio of growing media i.e. Soil, Fly ash, Vermicompost (1:0:1), (1:1:1),(1:2:1), (1:3:1). Maximum plant height (40.7 cm), plant spread (26.43 cm), Chlorophyll content (0.81 mg), Leaf area index (93.73 cm2), Internode length (6.24 cm), Root spread (7.83 cm) was recorded in Aglaonema silver queen with media containing Soil, Fly ash, Vermicompost (1:1:1) combination, maximum Root and shoot ratio (9.65 cm), number of leaves (6.71) was recorded in Aglaonema silver queen with media containing Soil, Fly ash, Vermicompost in (1:2:1),maximum root length (6.49 cm) was recorded in Aglaonema modestum with media containing Soil, Fly ash, Vermicompost (1:2:1) combination.
