Reproduction of oregano seedlings (Lippia palmeri S. Watson) in almacigo

Abstract

There is a lack of commercialization of native plant seeds, especially those of species that have low yields in the wild. These, in turn, exhibit germination problems due to manipulation, as well as internal factors of the seed and external factors such as environmental conditions, climate change, deforestation, etc., which has led to low production of new specimens of native plants in the state of Sonora. The objective of this study was to produce oregano (Lippia palmeri W.) seedlings in seedbeds using the spike. Regarding the results obtained, germination rates ranged from 80.0 to 83.3%. No significant differences were found according to statistical analysis: the percentage of normal seedlings ranged from 78.0 to 81.3%, the percentage of abnormal seedlings ranged from 2 to 2.7%, and the percentage of non-germinated seeds ranged from 16.7 to 20%. Days to emergence for oregano seeds in seedbeds ranged from 10 to 11 days. Transplant survival was 97% in trays and 95.3% in the field. It's important to note that oregano seedling production in seedbeds is ideal for this type of seed.
