“…While high salt-containing materials such as spent mushroom compost and turkey litter compost are not recommended for rooting mixes (EC >4.0; Table 1), we have successfully used intermediate salt-containing paper mill sludge (EC 1.2 dS•m -1 ) and municipal leaf and yard waste compost (EC 1.7 dS•m -1 ) in volume proportions up to 60% and 75%, respectively, in rooting substrates (Chong, 1999c). For general use, however, we recommend lower proportions.…”

During the past 20 years, the Ornamental Nursery Research Program at the former Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario (now part of the University of Guelph) has been conducting applied research dealing with environmentally friendly and sustainable nursery production practices with emphasis on container production. The use of farm, industrial, and consumer waste by-products as amendments in nursery substrates has been a major focus. The program has evaluated hundreds of potting mixes derived from individual or combined, raw or composted waste by-products including spent mushroom compost, turkey litter compost, paper mill sludge, municipal waste compost, corrugated cardboard, apple pomace, wood chips from pallets, pulverized glass, and various types of tree barks. With few exceptions, all the above waste by-products tested under our cultural conditions provided acceptable to excellent container-growing media, often in amounts exceeding 50% and sometimes up to 100% by volume in No. 2 containers (6 L), even despite initially elevated and potentially toxic contents of soluble salts [expressed in terms of electrical conductivity measured up to 8.9 dS·m-1 in 1 substrate: 2 water (by volume) extracts] in many of the substrates. A key to these successful results is that salts leach quickly from the containers to benign levels (∼1.0 dS·m-1) with normal irrigation practices. High initial pH in most waste-derived substrates (up to 8.9) has had little or no discernible effect on growth of a wide assortment of deciduous nursery species. By-products such as paper mill sludge and municipal waste compost with soluble salts contents typically ranging from 0.8 to 2.0 dS·m-1, also provide acceptable rooting media provided salts are leached before use to values ≤0.2 dS·m-1. The porosity and aeration characteristics of waste-derived substrates tend to be comparable to, or better than, those of bark.

“…This type of compost also caused a growth gain [88]. Compost of municipal solid residues had no effect on willow rooting [89], but stimulated the growth of poplar and eucalyptus [90]. Compost or mulch of Southern fern (boiled and washed to remove possible allelochemicals) moderately stimulated the growth of eucalyptus seedlings (þ8 to 20%) [91].…”

“…Maviyemiş çeliklerindeki köklenmenin çeşit ve IBA dozlarına göre değiştiğini belirten Çelik ve Odabaş (2009) gerçek köklenme oranının %57.76-83.23 arasında değiştiğini ve geliştirilen model ile bu oranın tahmin edilebileceğini tespit etmişlerdir. Turnayemişi çeliklerinin köklenmesi ve bitkide büyüme üzerine çelik büyüklüğü (Welker ve Vass, 1983), köklenme ortamı (Chong, 1999), ortamdaki mikoriza popülasyonu (Szwonek ve ark., 2016) ile çelik tipi ve turnayemişi çeşitlerinin (Baumann ve ark., 2005) etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Turnayemişi ile aynı cins içinde yer alan kekreyemişte ise çelik alma zamanı ile köklenme ortamı ve çevre şartları (Gustavson, 1999), çoğaltmada kullanılan bitki parçası (çelik, mikro parça vb.)…”

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.
