| dc.description | Crushed fruit shells of West Indian Mahogany were evaluated as a potting soil medium constituent with Croton (Codiaeum sp. var Mortii) as a test plant. Crushed fruit shells, both pure and mixed in a 1:1 ratio by volume with sand was compared to a local commercial potting mix consisting of peat, sand, perlite and soil. Results showed that the fruit shell/sand mixture was just as good as the commercial mix for production of healthy attractive croton plants. Application of a soluble and a slow release fertilizer incorporated with soil mix gave better results than slow release fertilizer used alone. | en-US |
| dc.description | Las cáscaras de frutas aplastadas del caobo dominicano se evaluaron como ingrediente en mezclas de tierra para plantas en tiestos. Para observar el efecto de las diversas mezclas se usó el crotón (Codiaeum sp. var. Mortii). Las cáscaras aplastadas de las frutas, puras y mezcladas con arena a razón de 1:1 por volumen, se compararon con una mezcla comercial de arena, turba, perlita, y tierra. Los resultados demostraron que la mezcla de la cáscara de la fruta y arena era tan buena como la comercial para la producción de plantas atractivas y saludables de crotón. La aplicación de un abono soluble y otro de acción retardada incorporados a la mezcla de tierra, dio mejores resultados que la aplicación del segundo solamente. | es-ES |
