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

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.
