The aim of this paper was to test a peat/compost based substrate and a guano ＋ mycorrhizal inoculum fertilizer mixture, in order to obtain a sustainable quality yield of geranium plants. Geranium cuttings （Pelargonium zonale cv. real polaris and Pelargonium grandiflorum cv. lotus） were grown for two months in a glasshouse. Peat, in the growing substrate, was replaced with high quality compost （20% and 40% as reduction percentages）. The fertilizer mixture was made up of guano （3 g/L） and mycorrhizal inoculum （7.5 L/m^3）. Plants of Pelargonium cv. Real polaris, grown on a substrate made up of peat and 20% of high quality compost, presented the better trade features, so to satisfy the ＂sustainable floriculture＂ need.展开更多
