Abstract

For vegetative propagation of Populus caspica an examination was carried out as randomized completely blocks design in Koludeh nursery, Amol, north of Iran. For this purpose 3-bud cuttings, with stock plants provided from stem of 1-year sapling, 1-year sprout of tetard, 1-year branch of tree, and plantation methods of cuttings with 3 buds under ground and 2 buds under ground, were sown in plastic pods filled with loamy-sand soil. Results revealed that cuttings with 3 buds under ground germinated two weeks later than cuttings with 2 buds under ground. Cuttings with stem of 1-year sapling and 1-year branch of tree produced greater germination (60%- 62%) and production efficiency (46%- 48%), but lower survival 60%- 77%), height growth and collar diameter growth compared to cuttings with 1-year sprout of tetard. Cuttings with 2 buds under ground created higher germination rate and lower survival rate than those with 3 buds under ground; however, production efficiency as well as height growth and collar diameter growth was similar in both treatments. From this investigation it can be deduced that stem of 1-year sapling as well as 1-year sprout of tetard is favored for vegetative propagation of Populus caspica. This is while that, 3-bud cuttings either as 1 bud on ground or 3 buds under ground do not change production efficiency, statistically.
