Production of Own-Rooted Nurseiy Plants of Mango by Air Layering

摘要

Nursery plants of mango are usually produced by grafting using rootstocks of the Taiwan native strain in Japan. Cutting propagation is profitable for production of nursery plants by reason of disuse of rootstocks and shortening of the growth period ofthe nursery plants. But mango is a difficult fruit tree to root from cutting. The objective of the present study is to present the production technique of own-rooted nursery plants of mango by air layering in order to shorten the growth period of the nursery plants and establish the container planting cultivation of mango using own-rooted plants.
