Rootability of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. cuttings from different clones at two different levels and their primary field growth performance
Dendrobiology 2008, vol. 59: 09-12
Abstract: Rootability of Dalbergia sissoo Roxb. cuttings of mature tree originated clonal hedge bed were tested and compared to the same from seedling originated hedge bed. Mature tree originated cuttings were found potential for rooting in low-cost non-mist propagator without any rooting hormone. Steckling growth in nursery and in the field was found promising which is a complete indication for its successful application by tree planters. It will be a new research avenue to get disease free germplasm for the frustrated plantation managers and scientists due to die back of this tree through out the South Asian region.
Additional key words: clone, cutting, hedge bed, rejuvenation
