| Abstract:
Plants of the varieties 'May Shoesmith' and 'Yellow Mandalay' have been observed from planting to selling. During this period different propagation methods have been compared and evaluated for yield and economic profit. Due to high quality, short production time, less labour, and even less area requirement the planting of unrooted cuttings was the most successful method. This result is valid for cultivation in summer as well as for that in winter, when fuel costs are relatively high. On the other hand the use of rooted cuttings resulted in the lowest profit when compared to other methods. | |
