Rooting of softwood and partly semi-hardwood shoot cuttings of Kalmia angustifolia
Dendrobiology 2003, vol. 49: 49-52
Abstract: Rhizogenesis was stimulated in Kalmia angustifolia cuttings by auxins and fungicides in dust preparations. Satisfactory results were obtained for the combination of 0,5% indolebutyric acid (IBA) and Captan in talcum powder. The optimum time for taking the cuttings was the peak of the flowering period of mother plants. The best rooting medium was mixture of pine bark compost and peat (1:2).
Additional key words: auxins, cutting date, fungicides, vegetative propagation
