THE BEHAVIOR OF SOME VARIETIES OF IMPATIENS SPP. ON DIFFERENT SUBSTRATES

Impatiens is used for home decoration, balconies, terraces and in parks and gardens. Impatiens are popular because they’re easy-to-grow and flower in shade all season. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of some alternative substrates (compost + fallow) on the growth of a bed...
