IMPROVING THE METHODS OF PLANTING SEEDLINGS OF MULBERRY TREE WITH DOUBLE CUTTING

Abstract

In the article  is discussed the issue of rooting lignified mulberry stem cuttings with a single method of banding and planting segments with upper and lower ends. During the experiment, double cuttings (15 cm x 2), cuttings of 15 cm, 30 cm (control) and 45 cm were used. Under all conditions affecting high rooting (timing of banding, planting, depth of embedding), with a variation in the length of the cuttings from 30 to 45 cm, the effect of survival is almost the same. But a short (15 cm) stalk rots less than a long one, so its survival rate is higher. The highest survival rate is for double cuttings, and the yield rate from 1 ha is also the highest. The use of double cuttings is recommended for hard-to-root mulberry varieties, since varieties with dense wood (Balkhi here, Tajik seedless, etc.) do not have a high rooting property.
