Wood waste compost as growing media components for cultivation of Chrysanthemum morifolium (Ramat.) Hemsl.

The chrysanthemum is a significant species grown in Europe in pots and as a cut flower. In the cultivation of this species, peat substrate is used as a medium. The aim of the research was to assess the possibility of using composts from post-consumer woodused for in controlled cultivation of chrysanthemum Chrysanthemum morifolium(Ramat.) Hemsl. Mount Listoucultivar. Compost obtained from post-consumer wood waste, wereused as the medium, and marked as: PCW I and PCW II. These were old furniture. The third compost marked with the symbol FB was obtained from fiber boards. The substrates used with the addition of compost made on wood waste had an impact on the quality of chrysanthemum. As studies have shown, composts from post-consumer wood they can be a valuable component of horticultural substrates when used appropriately.
