“…Pieces cuttings are sensitive to oxygen deficiency and go to rotting immediately. If the medium is highly humid, rooting process is delayed as a result of oxygen deficiency (Erstad and Gislerod, 1994). Ansari (2013) reported that vermiculite mixed with sand was the best for higher per cent rooting and root numbers in pomegranate due to more water holding capacity and release of nutrients gradually from vermiculite medium.…”

To identify the most efficient growing medium for root and shoot development in stem cuttings of pomegranate cv. ‘Phulearakta’ under arid conditions, a greenhouse experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications during 2014-15 at ICAR-CIAH, Bikaner. About 15-20 cm long hard wood cuttings, 0.5-1.0 cm diameter and having three to four buds were separated from the healthy trees and planted in mid-January. Detached cuttings were treated with 2500 ppm of IBA (3- Indole butyric acid) using quick dip technique (for 5 seconds) and planted in five rooting substrates i.e.sand, vermiculite, perlite, cocopeat and garden soil (control) alone and in combination at 1:1 (v/v). The response of perlite + vermiculite medium was best in terms of rooting (82.33 per cent), number of roots (32.67 per cutting), fresh and dry weight of roots (0.61 mg and 2.08 mg), shoots per cutting (80.33) and survival (76.0 per cent) than the other medium used. Vermiculite + Coco peat 1:1 (v/v) combination also resulted in rooting in more than 80 per cent of cuttings whereas cuttings raised in garden soil and sand showed very low rooting. Based on the findings, it appears that Perlite + vermiculite 1:1 (v/v) and vermiculite + cocopeat may be appropriate alternatives to the conventially used substrate, i.e., garden soil for the better rooting and establishment of pomegranate cultivar 'PhuleArakta' cuttings.

“…Balestrini and Vartanian (1983) reported that water in vegetative propagation is important as it helps in maintaining relative humidity and reducing the temperature for cell division and biochemical processes. However, excessive irrigation (twice and thrice daily) had a negative influence on rooting success (Table 5) (Erstad and Gislerod, 1994;Rein et al, 1991). Structure x irrigation x hormone interaction was significant (P<0.05) except for the number of cuttings that formed callus.…”

The shea is an economic tree found in West and Central Africa with huge industrial and domestic uses for the butter. However, its rapid multiplication has been hampered by its slow growth and long gestation period. Factors that affect vegetative propagation are physiological, biochemical and environmental. A factorial experiment was carried out to study the type of structure(s) that can be used to enhance the rooting performance of shea stem cuttings. A significantly (P<0.05) higher rooting was achieved for cuttings set in the propagating bin (63.3%) and polythene propagator (57.5%). Significant (P<0.05) differences between infection rates on cuttings in the structures were observed with the polythene tunnel recording the highest (64.4%). High rooting performance and low infection rate were recorded when the cuttings were irrigated once daily, producing more and longer roots. Significantly (P<0.05) high number of rooted cuttings was observed for cuttings with retained petioles. This treatment also significantly reduced infection rate. Seradix 3 powder treated cuttings significantly recorded the highest number of rooted cuttings. Cuttings with retained petioles and irrigated once daily significantly recorded high levels of soluble, insoluble sugars and total free phenols.

“…The uptake of water in cuttings is proportional to the content of water, by volume, in the rooting substrate (Grange and Loach, 1983;Rein et al, 1991). Water in excess, however, prevents proper aeration (Erstad and Gislerod, 1994). Copes and Randall (1993) found that baldcypress rooted at greater percentages when positioned in the wettest portion of the mist bench tested (50% water content, by weight) as opposed to two more aerated portions (40% and 29% water content by weight, respectively).…”

In previous studies, baldcypress [Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.] clones were selected for tolerance to high pH soils, drought and salt exposures, and ornamental characteristics. The objective of the current research was to determine the treatment combinations that yielded optimum root quantity (percentage) and rooted cutting quality (root number, length, dry mass, and shoot dry mass) on vegetative cuttings for a representative clone. Cuttings were treated with factorial combinations of one of four potassium salt of indole-3-butyric acid (K-IBA) concentrations [0, 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 mgÁL -1 (0, 20.72, 41.44, 62.16 mM, respectively)], wounded or not wounded (1-cm long basal incision), and rooted in one of three substrates (100% perlite, 100% peatmoss, or 50% perlite:50% peatmoss). Data indicated a tradeoff between potential rooting quantity and root quality measurements in response to different substrates. Although rooting percentages were affected by substrates only at P # 0.10 (53% in 100% perlite versus 36% in 100% peatmoss), there were highly significant (P # 0.0001) differences in rooted cutting potential among substrates as measured by the percentage of cuttings with basal callus. Cuttings placed in 100% perlite callused at 85%, whereas cuttings placed in 100% peatmoss callused at ' '53%. The 100% peatmoss treatment, however, yielded cuttings with significantly greater root quality for all measurements, except root number per cutting. Wounding cuttings proved to have deleterious effects on root quality measurements. Total root length was ' '14.5 cm for non-wounded cuttings and ' '10.8 cm for wounded cuttings. Increasing K-IBA concentrations did not significantly (P # 0.05) affect rooting or callus percentages but did significantly affect root dry mass, total root length, and average root length per cutting. Total root length increased from 10.8 cm at 0 mgÁL -1 K-IBA to 16 cm at 15,000 mgÁL -1 K-IBA. Mean root number per cutting increased from ' '1.6 with wounded cuttings planted in 100% peatmoss to ' '3.1 with non-wounded cuttings planted in 100% perlite. Results suggested that high-quality softwood baldcypress cuttings should not be wounded, should be treated with 15,000 mgÁL -1 K-IBA, and grown in a substrate with intermediate water-holding capacity to achieve an acceptable balance between rooting percentage and rooted cutting quality objectives.
