Abstract

The study was conducted at the Herbal Garden, IGKV, Raipur (C.G.) from July to January during the 2023-24 session. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of various potting mixtures on the growth of Dahiman (Cordia macleodii) in a nursery setting. The experiment used a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications and nine different treatments. The treatments involved different combinations of potting mixtures: T1 (sand + soil + FYM, 1:1:1), T2 (soil + sand + vermicompost, 1:1:1), T3 (soil + vermicompost + FYM, 1:1:1), T4 (sand + soil + lemongrass compost, 1:1:1), T5 (sand + soil + FYM, 2:1:1), T6 (sand + soil + vermicompost, 1:1:1), T7 (sand + soil + vermicompost, 1:1:2), T8 (sand + soil + FYM, 1:1:2), and T9 (control). The T7 treatment (sand + soil + vermicompost, 1:1:2) stood out as the most effective, significantly improving all growth parameters for both Dahiman. These findings indicate that the T7 treatment (sand + soil + vermicompost, 1:1:2) is the best choice for promoting healthy growth in Dahiman seedlings.
