Influence of growth media and regulators on vegetative propagation of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalisL.)

Iron Chelate Improves Rooting in Indole-3-Butyric Acid-Treated Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) Stem Cuttings

“…Results confirm that the application of IBA improves rooting in R. officinalis cuttings, in line with previous results obtained in this plant species [30][31][32][33], as well as in many other woody plants [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Data shown here indicate that when Fe supplementation is not used, an IBA concentration of 1000 mg L −1 appears to be adequate for R. officinalis, since higher IBA concentrations (2000-3000 mg L −1 ) do not provide any supplementary advantage.…”

“…Rosemary is a medicinal species that contains polyphenols, resulting in a number of pharmacological effects, including antioxidant, antitumor, antidiabetic and antibacterial ones [27][28][29]. Rosemary plants can be propagated by seed and stem cuttings, but propagation from seeds is rarely used, because of the long times needed for blooming and germination and the low germination rates (10-20%) [30,31]. Rooting of R. officinalis cuttings is facilitated by using hormone treatments [32,33], and different approaches are being used to further improve the rooting ability, with the aim to reduce costs and allow for mass production.…”

Influence of Different Auxins on Rooting of Rosemary, Sage and Elderberry

“…Still, a successful rooting of plant cuttings is depending not only on external application of auxins, but also on numerous external factors as soaking time in growth regulators, propagation time, growing media, propagation system [6,23,[37][38].…”

“…This shortage of medicinal and aromatic starting material makes their organized production difficult from the very beginning. Vegetative propagation is a tool to improve this situation and it is very much utilized for rooting of plants in plant nursery businesses and acquisition of planting material (plantlets) formany economically important medicinal and aromatic plants [4][5][6][7][8]. The vegetative propagation is utilized especially when seed germination of specific species is less than 50%, which applies to the most of the aromatic and medicinal species, which additionally makes the process of cultivation of these plants complicated [4,9].…”

Adverse Effects of Salt Stress on Rootability of Rosmarinus officinalis Cuttings and their Alleviation by Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) and Bacillus subtilis

“…Propagation of medicinal and aromatic plants by stem cuttings is the most vital method to reproduce plants (Anderson &Woods, 1999 andWaman et al, 2019). It offers production of true-to-type plants in a short time and availability of superior individuals for large scale commercial plantation with quick productive gains (Kiuru et al, 2015).…”
