Studies on the cultivation of avicennia marina mangrove

Abstract EN

This paper studies the most suitable environmental factors for mangrove seedlings growth.

It describes the influence of indole acetic acid, indole butyric acid, gibberellic acid, quinine and benzyladenine on the growth rate.

$eed had been germinated in running water and tissue culture experiments were carried out to overcome inhibition effect of the phenolic compounds and infection of ؛the seeds.

The inhibition effect had been con-finned by experiments on germination of cucumber seeds.

Results pointed out that best growth (1.86 ±0.58 cm) occurred by using soil consists of 25% sand + 65% peatmoss + 10% clay accompanied with fresh water irrigation.

Treatment with different hormones gave negative results as compared to the control.

Also no significant results were obtained when the seedlings cultivated in the green house.

Tissue culture experiments gave positive resuits after eliminating infection and phenolic compounds.
