2.1Experimental set up Firstly the aggregates and red soil are filled in the
crates and the bed settling was allowed for 7 days with
tap water. 60 days old plants of Hibiscus Rosa &
Catharanthus Roseus were planted in the each separate
crate & fresh water was fed to the plants for 5 days.
Each crate has 4 plants.
