Effects of Media and Hormones on Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ) Production from Cuttings
Öz
Three different species of natural blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L., Vaccinium arctostaphylos L., Vaccinium uliginosum L.) are available, in our country. In addition to adaptation experiments were successfully conducted on some varieties (Brigitta, Bluecrop, Bluejay, Duke, Nelson, Earliblue, Patriot and Spartan) of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) from some province of Eastern Black Sea Region (Rize, Trabzon and Artvin). Şimşirli village of İkizdere district of Rize province was a successful study area. Mixed cuttings were collected from this area and rooted. Cuttings were obtained from last year’s fresh shoots. Tip of the shoots were covered in wax to prevent water loss. Cuttings were planted on six different media (pearlite, peat, pumice, chestnut soil, 1/1 ratio pearlite+peat mix and 1/1 ratio pearlite+peat) in Februrary. Three replication of three doses of two different hormones as IBA, and Polysitimulin were applied to cuttings before planting.
Cuttings were allowed to root for a vegetation period. Rooted, not rooted (dead), potential to develop root (callus, non-callus) cuttings were counted and effects of hormones and media were determined. Results showed that cuttings which had hormone treatment had better rooting capability compared to the cuttings with no hormone treatment. Cuttings treated with 1000 ppm and 5000 ppm IBA hormone yielded rooting more than other treatments.
Among media effects, cuttings in pearlite and pearlite+peat and peat media showed better rooting. The highest rooting was in pearlite media; however, cuttings had bad rooting in pearlite+peat and chestnut soil media.
SPSS packet program was used for statistical analysis. Analysis of variance was made to determine significant differences between rooting, media, hormone, media+hormone parameters. It was found that different media and hormones significantly affecting rooting of Vaccinium corymbosum L. cuttings.
