THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUBTRATE ON THE ROOTING PROCESS OF CARNATION CUTTINGS IN PROTECTED CULTIVATION
Journal Title: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The harvesting of carnation cuttings is performed in the morning when plants are maximally turgescent, from shoots with 6-7 pairs of leaves. Cuttings must include 4-5 pairs of leaves leaving on the shoot the base with 2 pairs of leaves. The harvesting protocol specifies that cuttings must be detached with the left hand maintaining the shoot fixed with the right hand. The cuttings can be planted soon after harvesting or can be preserved at 0.1-2°C and 80% relative humidity for 100 days. The harvest of cuttings can be performed all year round but the best results are obtained at spring. The rooting period extends over 21-30 days at 16-18°C air temperature. The proportion of rooted cuttings can be improved by utilization of appropriate substrates.
