| In order to reveal the effect of light intensity on the growth characteristics of cuttings, we set the shading by four levels (20%, 40%, 60%, full light) of Melaleuca bracteata cv. Revolution Gold. The results showed that there were different effects on seeding height, crown breadth and ground diameter in four processing environment, the most conductive was 40% shading. Under shading treatment, there was no significant change on the leaf width, dry and fresh weight and specific leaf weight,. Meanwhile, both the leaf length and leaf area increased at first and then decreased with the increasing of shading degree, 40% shading was the most. The results suggested it could endure slight shading, proper shading was beneficial to the seeding growth. |
