| Summary: | 15 L container production, in Comparison to a commonly after 15 L production to measure affects of container media component, 75% by volume. Two species, C linearis and F container production when used as the principal media dates. determined to be acceptable for consideration as a container diameter development of Acacia wightii Berth. was determined earlier RRP and faster root elongation on some observation factors for five other species, in a separate study using for all media with bark based media showing a propensity for for mass production. Chemical and physical properties of the for study to determine if they were adaptable for 2.6 L and From a candidate list of sixteen under-utilized Small grown in several alternative media components. Chilopsis growth responses and survival were greater for plants that having potential for container production while trunk linearis (Cav.) Sweet, Rhus lanceolata Grey, and X Chitalpa media containing pine bark or kenaf stalk core as the media were also acceptable, while the bulk density and Nurserymen standards. Growth or other limiting production on landscape establishment. It was determined that overall principal components, and/or coconut coir pith as a produced small tree species Fraxinus velutina, Torr. when regeneration potentials (RRP) of transplanted C linearis seedlings, in root observation box studies, were comparable shrinkage (50 % of the total volume) of kenaf based media similar alternative media, were determined to not be suitable substitute for peat moss as a minor component, were also substrate. Total air space and water holding capacity of all tashkentensis T. Elias and W. Wisura were identified as tested. Electrical conductivity and pH of all media were to be unacceptable according to American Association of trees, four taxa were identified velutina, were transplanted to the field for a two year study were determined to be unacceptable for longer term outdoor were originally grown in the bark based media.
