The effect of cold storage at 4 °C on the Rooting of chestnut cuttings

  • Published:
Biologia Plantarum

Abstract

This article reports the effect of cold storage at 4 °C from December to April on chestnut cuttings. Rooting was found to increase after four months preceded by treatment with 4000 mg l-1 IBA.

ThePhaseolus test of the biological activity of extracts of the cuttings showed the inhibition exerted by the acid fraction of the fresh (December) cuttings to have been replaced by a rootpromoting effect in cuttings stored for 4 months at low temperature. Cold storage thus seems to favour rooting.
