Abstract<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of organic growing media prepared from two types of compost (compost from leguminous crops “lens culinaris<\/em>, Vicia faba<\/em>, Cicer arietinum<\/em>” and gramineous crops “Triticum aestivum<\/em>, Hordeum vulgare<\/em>,” and compost from wood carpentry waste and leguminous residues) on the germination of Laurus nobilis L. seeds and the growth of its seedlings. Four growing media were used: (T1) Control: nursery soil, and three media containing compost entirely or partially (T2) 50% leguminous and gramineous crop residue compost + 50% wood carpentry and leguminous residue compost, (T3) 50% leguminous and gramineous crop residue compost + 50% nursery soil, (T4) 50% wood carpentry and leguminous residue compost + 50% nursery soil. The results showed that treatment T2 was superior in all germination indicators, with an average germination percentage of 81.66% and an average germination speed of 20.8 days\/seed, while the control treatment T1 recorded the lowest germination percentage of 41.66% and the slowest germination speed of 25.81 days\/seed. The organic media also showed a clear improvement in morphological growth, with treatments T3 and T4 excelling in terms of shoot and root length. Treatment T2 achieved the highest average dry weight (1.74 g shoot, 2.44 g root) and the highest average number of leaves (24.3 leaves\/plant).<\/span><\/p>\n
