| Title : | IMPACT OF THE SHOOT MATURITY LEVEL ON ROOTING, ACCLIMATISATION OF GREEN AND SEMI-HARDWOOD CUTTINGS OF THE BLUEBERRY (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) CV. BLUECROP STIMULATED WITH INDOL BUTYRIC ACID AND NAPHTHALENE ACETIC ACID |
| Abstract : | In this research we have tested the rooting abilities of green and semi-hardwood cuttings with leaves in the ennobled blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) Bluecrop cultivar taken at the end of August, from shoots of the year when growth was stopped and they had not reached one year. These cuttings were stimulated with IBA (Indol butyric Acid) and NAA (Naphthalene Acetic Acid) in concentrations of 1500 ppm, 3000 ppm, 4500 ppm and in the variation control without treatment, in substrate turf, turf-perlite 2:1. The results in both types of cuttings show differences of statistical significance (p = 0.05) and (p = 0.01). Bearing in mind that the greatest rooting ability is in special time periods and based on results from several years, propagation with green cuttings did not produce a high percentage of rooting based on the fact that their rooting is difficult and has reached 37.5% whilst semi-hardwood shoots taken at the same time period have reached a higher percentage (42.5%) which is definitely related to the physiological condition of the shoot. |
