Abstract

|
This research was made over drought resistance and optimum soil moisture needed with Plantago asiatica L. as the material by means of making out the process of its growth under different soil moisture contents. The soil used for the experiment was a mixture of vermiculite and c-layer soil, and the process of growth was compared with each other controlling its soil moisture as: 7%, 15%, 30%, 45%, and 60%. In 7% range of soil moisture which was of low content, the increase of growth was neither significantly indicated nor any permanent seeding done. In view of this phenomenon, Plantago asiatica L. appeared to be highly drought resistant. It was found rising at 30% range and reaching the optimum state at 45% range and falling down at 60% range. In view of this fluctuation indicated above, the optimum soil moisture content needed for the growth of Plantago asialica L. is thought to be between 30% and 60%. It is thought the number of seed per capsule is not affected by the soil moisture content. It is expected that an ecotypic variation by the soil moisture content will bring forth upon Plantago asiatica L.
