Effects of different treatments on rooting of European chestnut hardwood cuttings

Bu çalışma, 13-16 Ekim 2009 tarihleri arasında Cuneo[İtalya]’da düzenlenen 1st European Congress on Chestnut - Castanea’da bildiri olarak sunulmuştur. In this study, we examined the influence of hydrogen peroxide, wounding and IBA on the rooting success of chestnut hardwood cuttings. Cuttings of European chestnut genotypes 51111 (Sariaslama Clone -1) and 51205 (Sariaslama Clone -2), were treated with IBA at 0, 12000 ppm and H2O2 (3.5% w/v) solutions. Cuttings were prepared 14-16 cm in length in January, wounding the opposite sides of the base of the cutting. Compressed peat pellet was used as rooting media. Presence of callus and rooting rate were determined.
