Hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. However, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. Grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. Unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. Here, we report the hypo...

In the Republic of Croatia, hazel (Corylus avellana L.) is fruit species with largest recorded increase in cultivation. Due to its high content lipids and moisture (at time harvest) hazelnuts are susceptible quality deterioration (rancidity development, mycotoxins contamination etc.) therefore proper harvest post-harvest handling necessary preserve their quality. Hazelnuts most often collected ...

this paper deals with the suitability of agricultural and municipal organic wastes as growing media components for ornamental plants. nine growing media prepared by mixing the main components of peat (p), hazelnut husk (h) and maize straw (m) with the fertilizer sources of municipal solid waste compost (c), bio-solid (b) and poultry manure (pm) were compared against soil-based (c1) and peat-bas...
