Comparison effects of decapitation and disbudding with application of glucose in rooting of Chrysanthemum cuttings

Edward Borowski, Lidia Kozłowska

Abstract


Cuttings of Chrysanthemum cv. 'Horim Golden' were decapitated and disbudded or intact cuttings were treated with glucose solution. Both treatments were carried out at different times after excision of the cuttings, Removal of buds on the day of cuttings excision delayed the appearance of first visible roots on the cuttings and significantly decreased the number of formed roots. But this treatment performed between day 3-5 significantly increased the mean number of roots on the cuttings. A similar influence as that of disbudding was obtained by glucose treatment of the cuttings, especially their basal parts.
