Abstract

The effects of Ginkgo growth was studied under the coupling treatment of acid and aluminum (Al) by applying U207 even experimental design and soilless culture. The results showed that Ginkgo could grow normally at the concentration of Al3+ of 0.4 mmol/L and below in the range of pH 4.5~5.5, while it could be damaged under the high concentration of Al3+ within 0.8~1.2 mmol/L. On other hand, different concentrations of Al3+ caused no effect on Ginkgo growth when the pH was higher than 5.0. In a word, Ginkgo growth would be affected especially root system by the coupling treatment of high concentration of Al3+ and low pH with the roots got dark and the new roots reduced, even died or rotted, and the plantlet would stop to grow.

Key words: pH; aluminum; Ginkgo
