RESEARCH ON THE IMPROVMENT OF PROPAGATION TECHNOLOGY IN MAHONIA AQUIFOLIUM
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Mahonia aquifolium (Oregon grape) is one the few broad leaved shrubs with persistent leaves encountered in cultivated greeneries from Romania. The species belongs to Berberidaceae family and is native to North America. The name of the genus celebrates the American plant grower Mahon M. Bernard. Despite the fact that it is a valuable plant, it is encountered in few places in Romania due to the scarcity of propagation material. This situation inspired the present study concerning the rooting process in Mahonia aquifolium cuttings in three different periods of the vegetation period, using two different cultivation substrates. The best results were obtained for cuttings cultivated in July, in sand substrate with grain size of 1/2mm in diameter.
