PECULIAR PROPERTIES OF ACCELERATED SEEDING MATERIAL OBTAINING OF REMONTANT RASPBERRY WITH A CLOSED ROOT SYSTEM IN BELARUS

Abstract

In order to obtain seeding material with a closed root system the method of propagation by root grafts of remontant raspberry has been studied. The studies were carried out in a covered soil (RUE “Institute of Fruit-growing” greenhouses of the berry crops department). To grow remontant raspberries seedlings from root grafts it is necessary to use P3 pots (size: 13×13×13 cm), which allows to get standard seedlings within 2 months (instead of 6 months with traditional propagation methods) after planting in containers of the recommended volume. The major advantage of seedlings with a closed root system is a high survival rate when planting in a permanent place, the ability to plant at a convenient time, reliability during transportation, the long time storage ability for planting.
