ISHS Acta Horticulturae 474: III International Symposium on Olive Growing

THE RESEARCH ON ROOTING ABILITY OF OLIVE CUTTINGS (OLEA EUROPAE L. CV. DOMAT)

Author:   S. Seyhan Usta
Keywords:   Phloridzin, Phloroglucinol, Indole-3- butyric acid
Abstract:
Many factors that affect root initiation and development have been discovered resulting in the development of treatments to promote rooting of difficult-to-root olive cultivars. Poor rooting limits the commercial production of potentially important olive cv. Domat (difficult-to-root).

Trials were carried out on the rooting capacity of Olive (cv. Domat). Effect of phenological state, plant factors, the combination of Phloridzin (PZ) or Phloroglucinal (PG) with Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and girdling were the most effective solution for the rooting ability.

This research project reported that:

  1. Olive cuttings taken from young plants with medial cuttings in September.
  2. Phloridzin (PZ) and Phloroglucinol (PG) improved the rooting synergistically with Indole-3 butyric acid (IBA).
  3. Girdling indicated the best rooting.

These experiments on Olive cuttings (cv. Domat) have shown how the best results are obtained.
