| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted at the Technical Institute of Shatrah to investigat the effect of media types and covering materials on seed germination and seedling growth of the alternative energy jatropha curcas L . plant by using complete random design ( CRD ) The results showed asignificant effect of both factors on most studied characteristics,while the interaction of these factors was not significant, so the treatments M2 T2 ( the peatmoss was as a media and covering) gave the best results for germination %,speed of germination,PV,MGT,MDG, plant heigh and number of leafs (96%, 1.263, 5.273, 4.443, 3.190, 18.7, 8 )respectively then M2T1 ( the peatmoss was a media and the covering material was sandy loam soil ) so gave the best results for germination and growth of seedlings , therefore the study recommends to utilize these materials in propagation of jatropha and give attention in the future to this plant . | ||
