Cranberry is an important small fruit used as functional food. In this study, hardwood cuttings collected from 'Pilgrim' cv. in March from one-year-old uprights on the runners, also called stolon, belonging to four-year-old cranberry plants. Three Indole-3-butric acid (IBA) concentrations (0, 1000 and 2000 ppm) were applied to the cuttings prepared with or without leaves. Cuttings planted in peat medium in trays and trays placed in benches with 24°C bottom heating and cuttings leave to rooting under 30% shading with over misting system as needed. The rooting and rooting rate (%), rooting degree (1-9), shoot length (cm), root fresh weight (g), total root length (cm) and root diameter (mm) were determined. In leafy cuttings with 2000 ppm IBA applied, shooting (100%) and rooting (99.00%) were the highest. Leafy cuttings give the highest results in terms of all properties, while the highest rooting rate was obtained from 1000 and 2000 ppm IBA application (85.00%). The degree of rooting was the highest at the control IBA dose (6.53) and the root fresh weight at the 2000 ppm IBA dose (6.20 g). As the dose of IBA increases, the rate of shooting and rooting and the diameter of the root increase, total root length decreased and rooting degree, shoot length and fresh root weight are not affected much. On the other hand, leafy cuttings gave higher results in terms of all the properties examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
