Abstract
|
|
|
For evaluating the effect of various artificial planting soil properties on the Euonymus fortunei ‘Emelad’n Gold’ growth, a
container green wall system experiment was conducted in a wall of greenhouse at Konkuk University, Glocal campus. The experimental artificial planting grounds were prepared with different organic soil conditioner ratios (Control, A4O1, A2O1 and A1O1) and with drought tolerance and an ornamental value Euonymus fortunei ‘Emelad’n Gold’ was planted. The soil and plant characteristics were investigated from April to Jun 2010. The volumetric soil moisture contents were significantly increasing order as the amount of organic soil conditioner level increased in order to A1O1> A2O1> A4O1> Control. At 4 treatment, soil chemical properties were inversely related to organic soil container ratios increase. The differences of root collar caliper, number of branch, and survival rate between the organic soil conditioner ratio were not significantly affected by organic soil conditioner. But, plant height, internode length, leaf length and leaf width were significantly shorter on plants planted A1O1 than plants planted other treatments. Therefore, Euonymus fortunei ‘Emelad’n Gold’ had good growth response regardless of organic soil conditioner ratio and the plant is expected to be a highly valuable shrub for the green wall system if it should be considered in integration with stormwater retention or as a soil conditioner for increasing soil water contents in artificial planting soil.
