Development of technology for accelerated propagation of miscanthus (Miscanthus giganteus)

Abstract

Materials on the study of the low propagation coefficient of Miscanthus giganteus, the search for new ways of propagation and the development of technologies for accelerated propagation of this crop are presented. Artificial lighting and conditions of elevated temperature and humidity have shown a negative impact on the growth and development of Miscanthus gigantus plants in laboratory conditions. Artificial lighting stimulated the stretching of plants, which led to their lodging. Conditions of high temperature and humidity contributed to the development and rapid spread of brown rust disease.
