Verma, P. P. S.
This study was carried out to explore the performance of lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) cuttings under different growing media at CIMAP, Research Centre Purara (Uttrakhand). Results indicate that vermicompost + soil + FYM in ratio 1:1:1 had recorded highest survival of cutting (85 %), number of branches (6), plant height (36 cm), number of leaves/plant (38), fresh weight/plant (1.95 g), dry weight/plant (0.98 g), number of root/plant (6) and rootlength (11.2 cm). Finally concluded that growing media significantly influenced the survival rate of cutting, growth and development parameter of lemon balm sapling in which media vermicompost + soil + FYM was best media since the survival of cutting and development parameters were higher than those on other media, therefore this result suggested that vermicompost + soil + FYM should be used as a growing media for production of lemonbalm sapling.
