Root Growth of Morus alba as Affected by Size of Cuttings and Polythene Low Tunnel
نویسندگان
چکیده
An effort to find out the smaller size of cuttings for propagation of Morus alba was made in experimental area Department of Forestry, Range Management and Wildlife, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan. Different size of cuttings i.e. 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” were planted in polythene tubes of 3.5”x7”. The effort was also made to compare the performance of cuttings in open air and in polythene low tunnel. Root length, number of root branches, root diameter and root fresh and dry weight were found maximum in two inches cuttings while minimum in four inches cuttings. Root growth was found maximum in open air as compared to under polythene sheet. Keywords—cutting sizes Morus alba, Open air and polythene sheet, root growth

متن کاملImprovement of Rooting in Forsythia × intermedia Cuttings by Plant Growth Regulators
Asexual propagation through cuttings is an appropriate method used for most ornamental plants. Success in increasing the percentage of rooting, reducing root emergence and increasing proliferation efficiency depends on several factors like plant growth regulators, especially auxins. Rooting of Forsythia × intermedia is difficult and requires specific hormonal treatments and proper cultivation b...
