Abstract
Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE Eucalypt is known as the fastest growing tree species in the world. Some advantages such as fast growing, hight yielding, short rotation, less desease, lots of purposes and good economic benefit have made Eucalypt as the most important forest tree product for industrial raw material in Indonesia. However, those advantages of Eucalypt including fast growing, high yielding, short rotation and less desease can only be achieved through selecting a good clone. Cutting propagation is considered as one of the main methode to produce good seedling. Sprouts of two clones of Eucalyptus pellita F. Muell (E. 13 and E. 77) were collected from mini hedge. Total of 1080 of each clone was planted in greenhouse . The result showned that Clone E. 77 was better than E. 13 in term of growth of rooting, the increment of height, stem diameter and number of leaves at 60 and 75 days after planting /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}
Highlights
Eucalypts and pines are the most commonly used species in tropical timber plantations together, they are accounted by 43 percent of all tropical plantation area (FAO, 1999)
Eucalyptus pellita is indigenous species of eucalypt are found in Irian Jaya, Indonesia are planted in Kalimantan and Sumatera
The objective of this study was to compare the efficiencies of mini-cutting technique for clonal propagation of two Eucalyptus pellita clones
Summary
Eucalypts and pines are the most commonly used species in tropical timber plantations together, they are accounted by 43 percent of all tropical plantation area (FAO, 1999). As yields from Eucalyptus forestry will continue to increase as more improved clones are developed, matched with improvements silvicultural methods for growing on these plants for which they are well adapted (Zobel, 1993), Cutting method is the most widely used technique for Eucalypt propagation due to easier handling compared to micro propagation method). This method presents some difficulties in the production process, such as poor rooting and plants formation in certain clones, which affects their deployment during planting (Xavier et al, 1997). The objective of this study was to compare the efficiencies of mini-cutting technique for clonal propagation of two Eucalyptus pellita clones
