Studies regarding the behaviour of Chasmanthium Latifolium(Michx.) Yates ornamental speciesin cropping conditions from Iaşi county, Romania

Abstract

Chasmanthium latifolium (Michx.) Yatesbelongs to Poaceae family and is classified in category of ornamental grasses. The aim of the current study was to identify a suitable substrate for producing Chasmanthium latifoliumseedlings, as well as monitoring of its behaviour in the specific cropping conditions from Iaşi County, Romania. Experiment was carried out with fourdifferent substrates: V1–garden soil; V2–1 part peat + 1part garden soil; V3–2 parts peat + 1 part garden soil, V4–3 part garden soil + 1 part vermicompost.The obtained seedlings of Chasmanthium latifolia were grown in exactly the same field conditions. The best results for quality of seedlings were obtained at variant V4and cropping plants showed a very good adaptation at the pedoclimatic conditions from Iaşi County, Romania.
