Abstract :
The effect of environmental factors on the growth of mangrove seedlings was determined. Four
seedling species such as Sonneratia alba, Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculata and Aegiceras
corniculatum found in Kauswagan, Lanao del Norte were used in this study. Percent seedling growth was
found to be highest in R. apiculata. Kawit Occidental was the most suitable area for growth and
development of seedling. The effect of environmental factors on seedling growth was found to be species
specific.
