Abstract
Quiescent nectarine cuttings of `Karla Rosa', `Carolina Red' and `Early King' were taken in the fall of 1988. The cuttings were inserted in Jiffy 7 pellets, Jiffy pots filled with Jiffy mix and pots filled with sand and vermiculite (1:1 by volume). The pellets and pots containing the cuttings were placed in rows in field propagation beds. A control (cuttings placed directly in field propagation beds) was used for comparison. In addition, cuttings of `Karla Rosa' under mulch treatments were propagated in 1990. Percentage cutting survival and percentage of cuttings of `Karla Rosa' and `Carolina Red' was greatest when cuttings were propagated directly in the field and when inserted in vermiculite and sand mixture. Percentage cutting survival for `Early King' was not significant, regardless of treatment. When propagated in pots filled with vermiculite and sand mixture, rooting for `Early King' was 41 percent. In 1990, sawdust and hay mulches enhanced rooting and survival of `Karla Rosa' cuttings when compared to the control (no mulch).
