Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

Abstract Juvenile cuttings of pecan ( Carya illinoensis (Wang) K. Koch) produced more roots and a larger percentage of rooted cuttings than adult cuttings when treated with a 0.5, 1, or 2% solution of indolebutyгic acid (IBA) in February, 1 or 2% IBA in June, and 0.5 or 1% IBA in August. Juvenile cuttings treated with a 1% IBA solution produced significantly more roots than treatment with 0, 0.5%, or 2% IBA when cuttings were taken during February, June, or August. The percentage of juvenile cuttings rooting was greater with February, June, and August than April, October, and December collections.
