PROPAGATION CUTTINGS [7 records]

Record 1 2007-08-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

Modern research and technology, however, have developed feasible methods for mass propagation by cuttings of a few other important forest trees... Fundamental to these developments is the recognition of the fact that all trees seem to have a juvenile stage during which they are easier to root from cuttings than later in the adult stage. In the species mentioned, cuttings of juvenile plants root easily enough for mass propagation.

CONT

À l'échelle mondiale, le bouturage de masse est largement préconisé pour multiplier les meilleurs individus issus des croisements dirigés performants en vue d'augmenter de façon significative la productivité forestière.

Record 2 1998-11-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production
  • Silviculture
CONT

In propagation by cuttings, a portion of a stem, root, or leaf is cut from the parent plant, after which this plant part is placed under certain favorable environmental conditions and induced to form roots and shoots, thus producing a new independent plant which, in most cases, is identical with the parent plant.

DEF

Mode de multiplication végétative des végétaux à partir d'un fragment du pied-mère dit bouture qui peut être un rameau aoûté, un rameau encore herbacé, un fragment de feuille, etc.

Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production

hardwood cuttings : method of propagation for trees and shrubs used for most hardy trees and many shrubs; generally taken in late autumn. Choose strong, well-ripened shoots and lower leaves of evergreens and trim below bud at bottom.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cultures (Agriculture)
CONT

boutures ligneuses : Cette méthode consiste à prélever des rameaux de 10 à 60 cm, selon l'espèce, sur des plants qui sont en période de dormance [...]. On applique cette méthode à divers feuillus [...]. On prélève le bois sur la pousse de l'année et on taille des bâtonnets droits.

Record 4 1995-09-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

In propagation by stem cuttings, segments of shoots containing lateral or terminal buds are obtained with the expectation that under the proper conditions adventitious roots will develop and thus produce independent plants.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Cultures (Agriculture)
CONT

Il est facile de multiplier un bon plant de géranium (pelargonium) par les boutures de tiges. Il suffit de couper un bout de tige portant trois feuilles à une extrémité, tandis que l'autre extrémité est dénudée. Coupez la tige avec un couteau bien aiguisé, de façon à ne pas la laisser s'effilocher, ce qui pourrait la faire pourrir. Conservez la bouture dans un lieu sec, jusqu'à ce que la plaie soit asséchée.

Record 5 1990-07-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Horticulture
  • Planting Techniques (Farming)
CONT

In propagation procedures, young seedlings or rooted cuttings(liners) are sometimes planted directly in the field, but frequently they are started in a blended mix in some type of container. Container growing of young seedlings and rooted cuttings is an important alternative for field growers.

Subject field(s)
  • Culture of Fruit Trees
  • Plant and Crop Production
CONT

The olive is propagated by means of cuttings or grafting. The best cuttings are made from mature twigs that still retain their leaves.... Care is necessary in placing the cuttings in the medium not to injure the bark and cambial layers on the lower end.... Propagation of olive cuttings under mist-humidification requires some discretion in the amount of water supplied.
