The impacts of different habitats on the development of Telekia speiosa (Schreb.) Baumg.

Telekia speiosa (Schreb.) Baumg. is a 100-150 cm high bushy perennial, which has yellow flowers and smells good. According tothe descriptions (Farkas, 1999), it can be detected in two smaller areas within Hungary, namely in the Bükk hills and on the Szatmár-BeregPlain. By the time of writing this paper, the population around Tiszabecs has already got extinct. Therefore, it is a protected relict species.It is named in honour of Sámuel Teleki, chancellor of Transylvania.Within the frame of the experiment, the Telekia speciosa (Schreb.) Baumg.was planted to places differently illuminated (sunny, semi shadow, shade), then the morphological changes brought about the various lightconditions were investigated. The experiment was launched with a stock sown in October 2008. The seedlings were planted to three beds withdiverse light conditions. The area of each bed was 1 m2, and ten seedlings were planted per m2. The parameters investigated are as follows:the length of leaf blade, the width of leaf blade, the length of petiole, the number of leaves per plant, and the alterations of leaves. As a resultof our research, we can state that semi shadow is the optimal habitat for the plant. Under such ecological conditions the highest leaf productionwas observed, the leaves were species specific, healthy and big. The mean number of leaves per plant was 6.6, the mean length of blade was16.6 cm, the mean width of blade was 13 cm, while the mean length of petiole was 14.2 cm. In the shade the plants grew poorly and the sizeof leaves were smaller. The mean number of leaves per plant was 4.1, the mean length of blade was 8.6 cm, the mean width of blade was 7.1cm, and the mean length of petiole was 9.4 cm. In the sunny habitat a similarly high leaf production was observed as in the semi shadow;however, the leaves had brownish spots, they shriveled, feel rough, so they revealed a reduced aesthetical value. The mean number of leavesper plant was 6.6, the mean length of blade was 17.8 cm, the mean width of blade was 11.3 cm, and the mean length of petiole was 13.1 cm

The effect of Ferbanat L nano-fertilizer on the growing of Petunia x grandiflora ’Musica Blue’

During our experiment, the effect of Ferbanat L concentrations were examined by Petunia x grandiflora ‘Musica Blue’ production.The leaf and shoot length, number of flower buds, diameter of flowers, and the date of appearing the first buds were measured. The solution ofFerbanat L in 0.1 % concentration was the most effective on shoot length (21.7 cm). Remarkable increase was observed by the other treatmentgroups as well comparing to the control group (5.6 cm), the plants treated with solution of Ferbanat L 0.2% (16.5 cm) and 0.3% (14.4 cm)had significant effect as well. The nano-fertilizer had not positive effect on the other examined parameters as leaf and flower size, number offlower buds or chlorophyll content. The culture period shortened five days

The effect of 5-aminolevulinic-acid (ALA) on the development of Saintpaulia ionantha

In recent work the effect of 5-aminolevulinic-acid (ALA) agent (commercial name Pentakeep-V) was examined on the chlorophyll content, growth and development of Saintpaulia ionantha. The newly re-rooted potted plants were irrigated or sprayed with 0.3‰ or 0.5‰ Pentakeep-V solution, and plus 30% long lasting fertilizer was added to half of the all treatments. Control plants were sprayed with tap water. Best result were obtained on the field of flowering. All the treatments promoted chlorophyll-content in the leaves especially spraying with 0.3‰concentration. Plants treated with Pentakeep-V in both concentrations and independently from the spraying or irrigation flowered more than two weeks earlier than control and those that got plus 30% fertilizer. Besides in the case of some treatments the diameter of leaf rosette, the number and surface size of leaves grew comparing to the control. The longlasting fertilizer had positive effect on the fresh weight but none of treatments had effect on the dry weight

Comparison of propagation methods of different moss species used as wall and ground covering ornamental plants

Mosses are traditionally used as ornamental plants, especially in Japan, USA, England (moss gardens) and Germany, French (greenroofs). In shadow areas (where the members of Poaceae usually cannot grow well), mosses are potentially use as “grass”. The stocks of mosscolonies maintain optimal microclimate and decrease desiccation of soils (like mulch). Additionally, mosses are evergreen, attractive all year, duringwinter. In our study, 18 moss species were propagated by fragments (as mixture, with the use of 16 species) and transplantation of carpets(with Brachythecium rivulare and Calliergonella cuspidata) in Szentendre. The aim was to find the most durable species and the best wayof propagation. In an outdoor, irrigated garden, propagation by fragments was effective (with 63% coveration) and higher values (93% and76%) were obtained in the cases of non-irrigated stocks of Amblystegium serpens (in trays) and moss carpets. In vertical structures (mosspicture-frames with the use of mixtures), protonema of 2 species (Hypnum cupressiforme and Eurhynchium hyans) covered 24 and 33% ofthe 0.5 x 0.5 m sized area

Results in the vitro propagation acclimatization of Pontederia lanceolata

This paper gives an outline of micropropagation of Pontederia lanceolata. Pontederia l. is a widely used aquatic plant, therefore there is an increasing demand for them, which can be satisfied only by in vitro culture. Research was carried out to find the best nutrient media conditions for micropropagation and acclimatisation of Pontederia lanceolata. &nbsp
