Title: Improved Rooting of Ottawa 3 Apple Rootstock by Soft Wood Cuttings Using Micropropagated Plants as a Cutting Source
Authors: H.A. Quamme and E.J. Hogue
Abstract:
The rooting of Ottawa 3 apple rootstock by
softwood cuttings under intermittent mist was
improved by using a source of micropropagated
plants (63%) in comparison to two conventionally
propagated sources (47 and 42%). Softwood
cuttings from the micropropagated plants also
developed larger root masses than softwood
cuttings from the conventional sources.
Basal
cuttings rooted better than tip cuttings (71 vs.
23%).
