| Abstract:
The propagating ability of new Mentha spicata cultivars was studied for the purpose of enhancing the propagation coefficient (PC) and for accelerating propagation. Root cuttings with two buds planted at a distance of 30 cm resulted in highest percentage of surviving buds - 31.29% for cv. Nana and 48.15 % for cv. Mechta with PC 1:512.7 and 1:419.1 respectively. | |
