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...

An experimental study was conducted at Students Experimental and Research Nursery: Department of Forestry, Range Management & Wildlife, University of Agriculture Faisalabad through which effect of growth hormone (IBA) on vegetative propagation of shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) was determined. The branch cuttings were prepared from one-year-old branches of resistant plus trees of shisham at UAF, hav...

Progress and problems in vegetative propagation of important North American hardwoods are reviewed with emphasis on rooting cuttings and the application of propagatIOn t~'hniqucs in breeding research. Some problems in rooting physiology are diS('u,;",>.

Field experiment was carried out at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Agricultural University Peshawar, during 2009 to study “the response of plane tree cuttings to different planting dates”. Three types of cuttings (hardwood cuttings, semi-hardwood cuttings, Softwood cuttings) and three dates (6 January, 21 January and 5 February) were studied. The experim...

Semi-hardwood cuttings of ‘Frantoio’ (high rooting ability) and ‘Gentile di Larino’ (low rooting ability) cultivars were obtained from 1-year-old olive shoots sampled in mid-August during the 2000 and 2001 growing season. Semi-hardwood cuttings were dipped in IBA 4000 ppm and H2O2 (0%-control or 3.5% w/v) solutions before rooting in greenhouse equipped with an automatic mist system. At 57 and 8...

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 polyt...

The seeds of Plukenetia polyadenia have high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and are used as medicine and food for native people in the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon. The objective of this study was to develop a method for vegetative propagation of Plukenetia polyadenia by rooting of cuttings. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and 3 replicati...

introduction: potential almond rootstock and thus main genetic sources for the breeding of its new rootstocks are almond itself, peach and plum, and these species cross-breeds almond is a source of resistance to limestone and to drought because of its roots, which reach deep layers of soil; it is also more resistant than peach to na and bo. asexual or vegetative propagation is a hereditable cha...
