VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION OF LUNUMIDELLA

Abstract

Melia dubio has a good potential as a fast growing, moderate quality timbertree. Its seed germination is vel:V poor. so that it is not possihle to ensure areliable supply of seed for a large-scale planting programme. A successfulmethod of vegetative propagation was found to he to take cuttings from sixmonths-old seedlings. A cutting was taken from each seedling up to eight timesat 5-8 day intervals. The success rate of rooting was 89%.
