INVESTIGATION OF VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION TECHNIQUES FOR BACOPA MONNIERI (L.) WETTST. USING STEM CUTTING METHOD
Main Article Content
Abstract
Asexual propagation by cuttings is one of the methods commonly applied to many plants because it is easy to implement and low cost. In this study, we conducted experiments to study the effects of cutting length, cutting position and cutting season on sprouting, growth and seedlings for sale. The results showed that: The younger the cuttings, the longer the cutting length, the shorter the time for sprouting; the rate of cuttings with new leaves, the growth rate of cutting length, diameter, number of leaves, and the rate of seedlings for sale are higher. The highest rate of seedlings exported was in the formula of 10 cm long tip cuttings (90.0%), followed by 7.5 cm long tip cuttings (77.66%) and 10 cm long root cuttings (68.33%); the lowest was 5.0 cm long root cuttings (44.67%), followed by 7.5 cm long root cuttings (56.66%) and 5.0 cm long tip cuttings (63.33%). The 15/2 crop gave the highest rate of seedlings exported (93.0%), followed by the 15/5 crop (81.67%) and the 15/1 crop (76.67%); the lowest was the 15/12 crop (65.67%)
