| description |
Neobalanocarpus heimii (King) Ashton locally known as
chengal is endemic to Southern Thailand and Peninsular
Malaysia. It is an important genera as it produces wood
that has become the standard by which many others are compared.
It is fairly widely distributed but found in scattered
occurrence and at low numbers. This project focuses on the
germination, seedling growth, presence of mycorrhiza and
photosynthetic rates under different light conditions. Soil
analysis and field observation of seedling distribution around
the parent tree were also conducted. Germination of chengal
was more rapid at lower light intensities than at higher light
intensities. The germination percentage is also influenced by
seed size i.e., the bigger the seed the better the germination.
Treatment means for plant height and leaves showed no significant difference among treatments. However, the number
of nodes was significant in all treatments. |
