Abstract

The effect of light intensity and nitrogen fertilization on Brassaia actinophylla was studied. Three light intensities and nitrogen levels were tested. Forty five per cent full daylight exposure gave the best growth followed by full daylight exposure, and finally by two per cent light. Among fertilizer treatments, 1.5 grams ammonium sulfate per plant per week gave the best growth. A second experiment was conducted to determine the effect of temperature on the growth of the same plants. Results show better growth at 23℃ than at ordinary room temperature.
