Physical properties of BVB4 were affected by incorporating
Water Lock into the medium. Container capacity was increased
with increasing rate of Water Lock in the medium. Container
capacity was increased by 4% with 5g/l amending rate.Conversely
, air-filled porosity was decreased by 3.5%. EC and pH of the
medium were increased with the incorporating rate. et pepper
and chinese cabbage seedlings grown in 2.5g/l incorporation
rate found beneficial effects, but 3.75g/l retarded sweet
pepper seedlings shoot height, root lenght, shoot fresht and
dry weight. Incorporation of Water Lock in medium inhibited
seedlings early growth, cabbage seedlings with Water Lock
admendment were larger than control at 21 days after sowing ;
but sweet pepper seedlings performed better after 30 days.
