“…The highest rooting percentages in propagules of greater lengths were also observed for Spondias tuberosa Carvalho et al (Rios et al, 2012), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (Pizzatto et al, 2011), and Ficus enormis (Mireski et al, 2019) cuttings.…”

Background: Despite the importance of Plathymenia reticulata for forestry and ecological purposes, a protocol for the vegetative propagation of the species remains unclear mainly due to the low adventitious rooting of the propagules of the species. In this sense, this work aimed to evaluate the rooting of minicuttings of juvenile materials of P. reticulata and our hypothesis: (1) maintaining propagules under mist chamber for different periods affects the rooting process; (2) the mini-stump management system due to the restriction of the root system affects the production of mini-cuttings and the quality of clonal seedlings.Results: It was not necessary for more than 30 days in a mist chamber to induce rooting. The highest percentage of rooting was obtained 50 days after staking. Mini-gardens set up in suspended seedbed and tubes (280 cm 3 ) had the average mini-cuttings productivity of 4.32 and 2.06, respectively, over 270 days of exploration (monthly collections). At 120 days after staking, there was no difference in the survival and in the final quality of clonal seedlings produced. However, clonal seedlings from minigarden in tubes had higher height, leaf area, and number of first-order roots. Regardless of the minigarden management, the clonal seedling production index was 50%. Conclusion:We can conclude that P. reticulata seedling production via mini-cutting technique is possible.

African Teak (Milicia excelsa (Welw.) belongs to the Moraceae family. Vegetative propagation has been proposed to overcome some of the reproductive biology challenges in the species. The study was to determine the influence of stem size on sprouting and survival of stem cuttings of African teak. The experiment was conducted at Egerton University, Njoro, Kenya. The propagation materials were collected from healthy mother trees from the Coast and Western regions of Kenya. A Randomized Complete Block Design was used. The cutting lengths were 3, 6 and 9 cm. The planting medium was composed of river sand. Data were collected monthly on the number and height of sprouts and the cutting survival at the end of 150 days. Data were then subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using GENSTAT 15th Edition. Separation of means was performed using the SED. The results showed that the cutting length had a significant effect on the number of sprouts, F=43.45, df=2, p= 0.001 and height of sprouts produced, F=48.25, df=2, p=0.001. None of the cuttings obtained 50% of survival though the highest survival percentage obtained was 48.1% from cuttings with 9 cm length. The survival of cuttings obtained from 6 cm length reached 41.27% while 3 cm length attained 31.75%. It was concluded that cutting length positively influences the sprouting of cuttings; hence longer cutting should be selected for propagation. Further studies should take into account the optimum cutting length and the factors which influence the shoot formations and cutting survival including diseases prevention and age of cuttings.
