Abstract

Corn stalk substrate,peat and vermiculite were mixed in various ratios.Prior to sowing,some physical and chemical properties of the mixed substrates were determined and the use of corn stalk substrate as component for muskmelon seeding growth instead of peat were studied.The results showed that mixed substrates of corn stalk could meet the requirement of seeding culture in physical ad chemical properties;and made the quality of muskmelon seedling better than that of the traditional peat substrates(peat∶vermiculite=2V∶1V).The media T4(corn stalk substrate∶vermiculite=2V∶1V,alternative 100%peat) could significantly improve muskmelon seedling quality.Therefore,corn stalk substrate were feasible to replace peat substrates for muskmelon seedling.
