Comparative growth performance of Albizia procera seedlings raised in nursery

For this study, the seeds were subjected to different pre-sowing treatments, then sown in different containers which were filled with different potting mixtures, and were investigated to select suitable treatment combinations for quality seedlings for large-scale plantation programs. A complete randomized design was applied with three replications to conduct this experiment. Seedling growth was assessed for height, collar diameter, leaflet number, leaf area, vigor index, and quality index were also calculated for each treatment. Seedlings raised in treatment combination T₃C₁M₆ i.e. pre-sowing treatment T₃ (seeds soaked in cow urine for 24 hours), polybag C₁ of size (23 cm x 13 cm), filled with growing medium sand + vermicompost (1:1) (M₆) was found suitable in the nursery for quality seedling production of Albizia procera.
