Effect of light intensity and fertiliser levels on the stock plants of chengal (Neobalanocarpus heimii) and rooring of its subsequent cuttings

A factorial experiment of three light intensities and three fertiliser levels was carried out on the potted seedlings of Neobalanocarpus heimii as stock plants for subsequent rooting of cuttings. Light intensities used were 25%, 50% and 100% of the open sunlight and the fertilizer levels were 0 g, 1...
