Rooting cuttings is a fundamental skill in vegetative plant propagation, allowing for the efficient reproduction of valuable cultivars of fruit and ornamental crops. A proper approach to this process requires comprehensive knowledge: from selecting a suitable substrate and organizing production areas to mastering modern technical methods, such as creating artificial fog. Proficiency in cutting technology is critical both for professional agronomists working on an industrial scale and for amateur gardeners striving to upgrade their plots with quality material and protect their crops from diseases and pests.
In this selection, we have gathered expert materials covering all aspects of working with cuttings. You will learn about the specifics of preparing artificial soil mixtures and organizing conditions for root system development. We analyze in detail the methods for harvesting hardwood cuttings of fruit plants, the features of operating automatic irrigation systems, and the criteria for selecting rootstocks for grape grafting. These articles will help to systematize knowledge and ensure high survival rates for planting material under any conditions — from open soil to specialized greenhouse complexes.
