Abstract

A study was conducted to assess the effects of number of splitted slips on the development of pineapple seedling. A potted experiment in the greenhouse consisting of two varieties (smooth cayenne and red spanish) and four number of splited slips (2, 4, 6 and 8) in complete randomized design (CRD) with three replications. All parameters were taken through eight months growing time starting from planting. The results revealed that a significant difference of the experiment, the pineapple variety red spanish performed better than the smooth cayenne in respect of some seedling growth parameters. The effects of splitting the slips in to 2 and 4 times on the variety of red spanish and smooth cayenne seedlings respectively have better plant height, number of leaves, leaf area Index, dry biomass per plant, vigor Index and Seedling Survival count. Significantly maximum fresh biomass yield was recorded by spliting red spanish slips variety in to 2 times was 23.42 gm/plant which have no biomass difference with all number of splited slips and pineapple variety combination except 6 times splited slips of the tow variety. The heights leaf area index recorded at the treatment which contain red spanish variety with 2 times splited slips and next to that planting smooth cayenne variety with 4 times splited slips. The lowest leaf area index recorded by the variety smooth cayenne splited the slips 8 times which was lower by 43.33% from the variety red Spanish splited the slips 2 times. The analysis of variance indicated significant (P < 0.05) interaction effects of pineapple variety and number of slips splited on the seedling survival count. The highest number of survived seedlings (100%) were counted by planting red spanish variety with 2 times splited slips which have significant survival difference with planting smooth cayenne slips splited 8 times (66.67%). The seedlings grown from the spliting of red Spanish slips at 2 times had significantly higher vigor index as compared with the 6 times splited slips of the two variety. Even if higher vigor index by planting smooth cayenne and red spanish variety at 4 and 2 times splited slips, which was no significant vigor index with 8 times splited pineapple slips. In general, multiplying the two-pineapple variety by splitting the slips up to 8 times had an advantage to get a good quality and much of pineapple seedling from a single slip.
