Vegetative propagation of Acacia mangium by stem cutting: the effect of seedling age and phyllode number on rooting
1990
Darus Haji Ahmad | S. Thompson | A. Pirrie
The rooting percentage of Acacia mangium stemcuttings decreased significantly with increasing age of stock plants. Cuttingstaken from 6 and 12-mth-old stock plants rooted faster than stem cuttings of oldstock plants and produced higher rooting percentages of 71.3 and 65.0% respectively.The presence of phyllodes is also an important factor for rooting successof A. mangium stem cuttings. Those with one phyllode or a half-cut phyllodeproduced better rooting percentages (66.0 to 76.0%), a faster rooting rate, anda very low mortality rate compared to leafless cuttings or cuttings with twophyllodes.
