Producción de plantas de melina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) con dos tratamientos pregerminativos, en fundas plásticas a nivel de vivero en el cantón Buena Fé, provincia de Los Ríos

Abstract

The present research was carried out to produce plants Melina (Gmelina arbórea Roxb) with two pregerminative treatments, in plastic nursery level in Buena Fe canton, Los Rios province, the statistical design used was a Complex Random Design with four replications, the comparisons of means were performed using Duncan´s test using on Software Infostad, resulting significant values for T1, The 61.25% of a seed emergency (soaking in water for 72 hours at ambient) likewise variable increase data plant was taken both in stem diameter, plant height and number of leaves, these increases were almost 60% difference in data collection conducted at 30and 60 days, the root variable volume (RV) is measured subsequently to the aforementioned decision data, this was at 60 days after planting, resulting in 4.63 cc (VR), and zero values for the treatments which was immersed in hot water at 73°C,of the follows way (T2 = 3 minutes, T3 = 6 minutes, T4 = 9 minutes), they presented a significant difference in germination compared to (T1) in which effective results are obtained, these being significant in evaluation treatments in hot water, finishing the best pregerminative practice was at (T1) on the other treatments recommending use (T1)for practical work Melina production of nursery plants, and to analyze the practical test under submersion times under hot water.
