Differences in rooting ability of birch (Betula pubescens J.F. Ehrh.) cuttings were observed as a result of differences in genotype and physiology of the stock plants. The uniformity in response among cuttings from micropropagated plants compared with cuttings from seed plants confirmed the advantage of using micropropagated plants to study environmental effects. Shoot morphology of the seed st...

An effort carried out to find out the smaller size of cuttings for propagation ofMorus alba in Experimental area, Department of Forestry, Range Management and Wildlife, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, 2005. Different size of cuttings i.e.5 cm, 10 cm, 15 cm and 20 cm were planted in polythene tubes of 9 cm x 18 cm. The attempt was also made to compare the performance of cuttings outdoor a...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of various levels of phosphorus fertilizer on the yield and nutritional value of sorghum fodder at three cuttings. The experiment was conducted by using 4 levels of Phosphorus fertilizer viz. 0 (T0) 40 (T1), 80 (T2) and 120 (T3) kg TSP/ha in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). A significant effect (P<0.01) of phosphorus fertilizer application...

In order to find a way to induce rooting on cuttings of Hemarthria compressa cv. Ya'an under controlled conditions, a project was carried out to study the effect of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) on rooting in stem cuttings and related physiological changes during the rooting process of Hemarthria compressa. The cuttings were treated with five concentrations of NAA (0, 100, 200 300, 400 mg/l) at...

Vegetative propagation of pear rootstocks using semi hardwood cuttings The objective of this work was to evaluate the technical viability of the vegetative propagation of the pear rootstocks ‘Taiwan Nashi-C’, ‘Taiwan Mamenashi’ (Pyrus calleryana Dcne.) and ‘Seleção IAC-1’ (Pyrus spp.) using semi-hardwood cuttings. The experiment was conducted in a nursery with an intermittent mist system at the...

Direct rooting and rooting via a wound tissue in Pinus sylvestris L. and Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. hypocotyl cuttings in vitro were studied. Direct rooting usually occurred within three weeks after cutting. Three to four weeks after cutting, roots developed either directly on the hypocotyl or via a wound tissue. Later than one month after cutting, rooting took place predominantly via a wou...

Background: Knowledge about propagation of rare and endangered plant species is very important for their conservation sustainable utilization. Therefore, it imperative to understand different reproductive aspects such management. It in this backdrop method Aconitum chasmanthum- a Critically Endangered Endemic Medicinal has been undertaken. Methods: Seed germination was carried out using media. ...
