RESULTS ON HARDWOOD CUTTINGS PROPAGATION OF SOME LYCIUM SP. GENOTYPES
Journal Title: FRUIT GROWING RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The increasing interest of consumers for goji fruits and plants and the opportunity seized for growers to deliver valuable and profitable products on the local market raise the need of producing new plants of Lycium sp. In this respect, the present work reveals some particularities in hardwood cuttings propagation for two genotypes of Lycium barbarum L. (B1 and B2) and one of Lycium chinense Mill. (410). Several factors have been included in the experiment: genotype, cutting thickness, composition of substrate (peat, sand and perlite) and hormonal treatment (IBA 500 ppm, IBA 1000 ppm, IBA 1500 ppm, Razormin and Rhizopan). Higher rooting percentages of cuttings were recorded for B1 and B2 genotypes and the positive influence of thick cutting was remarked in the shoots length and roots volume of all Lycium genotypes. Presence of peat in the rooting substrate also demonstrated a good influence on the rooted cuttings quality. From the hormonal products Razormin and IBA 1500 ppm showed better results.
