Abstract
The growth of Calystegia japonica Choisy as affected by pH, drying, burial, soil moisture and light intensity was determined. Germination of C. japonica rhizome was not affected by pH's ranging from 4.8 to 8.7,while the greatest growth after germination was obtained at pH 5.7. Drying longer than 14 h at brought about a significant reduction in percent survival and the subsequent growth of C. japonica. A significant decrease in growth of C. japonica occurred when the rhizome was buried at 0 ㎝ and deeper than 8 cm. The greatest growth was obtained when the soil moisture content reached 40 to 60% of saturated soil. Increasing percent available light resulted in decrease in the plant height, but increase in the root length and dry weight.
