Rambutan tree (Nepheliumlappaceum L.) is an important but a lesser known fruit tree in Ghana and has several nutritional and medicinal uses. Efforts to establish plantation of Rambutan in Ghana to ensure its sustainable use is challenged with unavailable planting materials because the seeds are recalcitrant in nature, loses viability easily when exposed to dryness. Seeds are therefore sown dire...

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...

Gesneriaceae. Root cuttings were used for various fruit crops, horseradish (Armoracia rusticana P. Gaertn., B Mey. & Scherb.), and others. It was known that when shoots were regenerated adventitiously, as with root cuttings or leaf cuttings, traits (such as variegation), which are associated with chimeras were lost (Bailey, 1896). Humidity control was not nearly as good as today s mist and fog ...

ABSTRACT: The asexual propagation of conifers, such as Podocarpus macrophyllus (Thunb.) Sweet, faces difficulties. Among the factors that can improve efficiency are types cuttings used and lesions performed at base cuttings, use plant regulators, indolebutyric acid (IBA). This study determined to be cutting base, type used, method convey IBA concentration required obtain a proper rooting condit...
