SWEET CHERRY INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS PROPAGATION BY SOFTCUTTINGS USING ROOTING STIMULATORS

There are obtained good results in rhisogenesis stimulation with 107 interspecific sweet cherry hybrids for rootstocks.

The highest percentage of rooted cuttings was obtained in the following crosses: C. avium, C. nipponica kurilensis x C. avium, C. fruticosa x C. niponica kurilensis, C. fruticosa x C. subhirtella.
When C. avium was used as female parent the results were less effective (below 60% rooted cuttings). The rooting expressed by number of roots and lenght of rooted section was improved by Radi-Stim 7 application as powder.

Following the investigations, there were selected 60 clones showing more than 70% rooting, out of which 23 with 100% rooting without using heating and artificial mist devices.
