Analysis of stem height feature in Sarcococca ruscifolia Stapf seedlings obtained from two types of cuttings using different rooting substrates
Abstract
The spreading area of the species Sarcococca ruscifolia Stapf. is Asia. The maximum height of this shrub species is 1 m. The bush is compact, with persistent leaves over the winter, the flowers are white, they appear in December-January, and the fruits are red. It is a shade species, but it also develops in partial shade. This work is a continuation of a work from the previous year [1]. Cuttings with ring and heel of the species Sarcococca rustifolia Stapf. represented the biological material. The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse of the Arboriculture discipline, at the Didactic and Research Base of the "King Mihai I" University of Life Sciences from Timisoara. This work analyses the relationship between the height of the seedling and the rooting substrates. According to the results obtained, the height differences between different substrate variants and rooting biostimulators were used for the obtaining of Sarcococca ruscifolia Stapf. cuttings were very different compared to the others, many of them showing highly significantly positive differences and a few distinctly significantly positive differences and significantly positive differences.
