Reproduction of Saltcedar by Cuttings
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
Average monthly rooting of saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.) stem cuttings collected weekly for a year and planted on a mist-bed was 96–100% from early February through May arid decreased to 77% in November. Accompanying shoot formation reached a concurrent maximum of 96–100%, with an October low of 10%. Bud dormancy of October-November cuttings was reduced by cold treatment, but June-July cuttings were not responsive. A rooting compound reduced shoot and root formation.
