Popis: A nursery experiment was conducted to study the effect of different organic addition in the nursery on growth and stump quality of teak seedling. The nursery soil sample was analyzed before initiate the experiment and after uprooting the seedling from nursery (post harvest soil). The pre conditioned 6 months-old teak drupes (fruit with seed) were placed for germination in the nursery bed. The experiment consisted of eight treatments which replicated thrice. On 28 and 60 days after sowing, the result revealed that the application of organic amendments did not have any significant effect on number of seedlings /m2 of teak at 28 days after sowing, where as the significant influence were observed at 60 days after sowing. Significant differences were observed in root length (cm), shoot length (cm), stump weight (g), stump girth (mm) and dry matter production (g) of teak stump at 6 months after sowing. From this study it could be concluded that the organic addition of teak nursery with FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1 + bagasse fly ash @ 20 t ha-1 enhance the seedling growth and stump quality of 6 months old teak nursery.
