Adventitious rooting in microcuttings of selected indigenous landscape trees of Malaysia

Rooting performance in microcuttings of five indigenous and one exotic landscape tree species was evaluated in a 60 days period. Rate of rooting varied greatly among species as Ilex cymosa, Tabebuia heterophylla and Agalaia korthalsii reached 100% rooting at 24, 42 and 48 days after insertion into...
