Manipulation of sea water for growth and proliferation of (Aglaonema Simplex)

Abstract

The manipulation of seawater for growth and proliferation of Aglaonema simplex was investigated. The research was done successfully using various concentrations of seawater. For determination of suitable seawater for plant growth, 0, 3, 5, l O and 15 ppt was manipulated for 1, 3, 7, 15 and 30 days. Media MS (Murashige and Skoog, 1962) was used as control (0 ppt). The survival rate of the plant was used as parameter to choose the suitable seawater. The suitable seawater, (3, 5, and 10 ppt) were than manipulated.
