Acclimatization of plantlets of O. viciifolia in different soil substrates.

MethodsObservationsSurvival rate (%)

Autoclaved black soil +  MSMost plantlets were weak with low vigour45%
Non-autoclaved black soilMost plantlets became weak after 3 weeks65%
Non-autoclaved red soilNormal growth but some plots contaminated due to high humidity72%
Non-autoclaved black soil : red soil at ratio 1 : 1 The best situation of water adjustment, normal growth98%
