Effect of propagation method, planting density and fertiliser level on the growth of water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica)

Effect of propagation method, planting density and fertiliser level on the growth of water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica)

1993

A:PS

I. aquatica was successfully propagated from cuttings of length 30 cm, diameter ? cm and with ? nodes. Rooting (in terms of root number, weight and length) was better in Yamazaki solution, followed by peatmoss, than in water, coarse soil, field soil, sand or vermiculite. Planting at a density of 30 X 30 cm, was better than either 15 X 15 or 45 X 45 cm and the application of N fertilizer at 30 kg/10 acres increased yield more than lower rates.
