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. 2, record 1, English, - mass%20propagation%20by%20cuttings

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. 3, record 2, English, - propagation%20by%20cuttings

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. 1, record 4, French, - boutures%20de%20tiges
