This study was conducted to investigate the enhancement of the slow postweaning growth of micro-propagated pineapple’s propagules after hardening under green house conditions. The plantlets responded positively to the highest level of urea (1.6g/plant). Enhanced growth was obtained by reduction of light intensity when propagules were placed under 50% netting, mounting the clear plastic of the  greenhouse. A volume of 1250cc loamy soil  supported growth satisfactorily. Extra [...]
