Climbing behavior and growth response of Mansoa alliacea to various support forms in vertical greening
The results showed that climbing nets promoted better above-ground growth, measured as number of leaves, leaf area, stem length, and internode length, while poles more effectively enhanced root branching. Various supports forms influenced biomass distribution. Climbing nets tended to allocate more biomass to aboveground parts, while support poles tended to allocate more biomass to underground parts. Bamboo poles (8 mm diameter) and hemp nets (10×10 cm mesh size) were found to be the most effective. These results suggest prioritizing rough climbing nets like hemp nets as structural supports for <i>Mansoa alliacea</i> to promote rapid vertical green landscape formation.
