Germination and growth of Pisticia vera in different soil textures

In order to do this research, the seeds of two varieties (Ahmad aghaee and Kale ghochi) of Pisticia vera were sown in six different type of soil textures with 56 replicates in complete-block design. The results indicated that Ahmad aghaee variety had highest germination in sandy, sandy-fertilizer and silty-loam mixed with fertilizer and lowest germination in sandy and siltyloam, respectively, but Kale ghochi variety did not show any difference in different soil textures. Germination comparison of two varieties also showed the Ahmad aghaee had higher germination in sandy mixed with fertilizer and silty-loam with fertilizer traits in comparison with Kaleh ghochi. Inversely, in loam-silt and silt and silty-fertilizer texture, Kaleh ghochi variety had higher germination in comparison with Ahmad aghae variety. In addition, growth rate of two varieties did not different with others. With regarding the results of this research, we can suggest seedling production of Pisticia vera in nursery, using the sandy texture without fertilizer because of lower costs and higher sucsees in comparison other soil textures under this study. Since, there is not significant difference between varieties regarding germination and growth, we can prefer one variety to the other.
