Vegetative propagation of pomegranate with vegetal material of different origins under types of substrates
Journal Title: Revista Verde de Agroecologia e Desenvolvimento Sustentável - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this study to investigate the influence of different sources of plant material and substrates in the vegetative propagation of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.). The statistical design was completely randomized in a 2x3 factorial, with two origins of the plant material collected (Barreiras, CE and Mossoró, RN) and three substrates (Tropstrato®, Coconut fiber and soil), constituting six treatments and four replications. Each replication consisted of five cuttings. Cuttings were prepared with the aid of a pruning shears collected in the median position of the branch for the standardized diameter of 2 to 4 mm. At 45 days, we assessed the number of shoots per cutting, length of the longest shoot, number of leaves per cutting, length of roots, rooting percentage, number of roots per cutting, dry weight and dry weight of sprouting root system. The propagation by cutting of pomegranate is influenced by the origin of the vegetal material and the best material is of Barreiras, CE. The Tropstrato® substrates are recommended for the production of pomegranate seedlings by cuttings.
