| Brief Description | In this study, matured seeds of collected from the identified superior mother in different location will be used. Five dipterocarps and other indigenous timber species found in Ilocos Norte will be evaluated. The component activities will be conducted at the MMSU Central Nursery from January 2013-December 2015. The assessment of the following activities: pre-germination treatment, potting media, fertilizer trial, watering and hardening-off practices will be done in a continuing process in a way that the promising results from the preceding activities will be integrated in the subsequent activities. The following activities below will be laid-out using the appropriate statistical designs and tools and will be replicated three times. Acty 1. Germination characteristics and early growth performance of selected dipterocarps and timber indigenous tree species
Acty 2. Growth performance and survival of seed-grown dipterocarps and timber indigenous tree species to different potting media
Acty 3. Survival and growth performance of seed-grown dipterocarps and premium indigenous tree species to various rates of fertilizers and GA3 application
Acty 4. Quality and vigor of seed-grown dipterocarps and premium indigenous tree species to different hardening-off practices |
| Expected Output | For this study, it is expected to establish cost effective propagation techniques of seed-grown timber species Acty 1. Ideal pre-sowing treatments and storage techniques Acty 2. Suitable potting media Acty 3. Appropriate nutrient requirement Acty 4. Ideal hardening practices of seed-grown timber producing species |
