Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Vertical level covering produced 97.93% emergence, significantly different from horizontal covering and seed emergence.
- Intervention effect Vertical exposing the topsoil produced 90.00% emergence, significantly different from horizontal covering and seed emergence.
- Intervention effect Vertical covering produced 78.00% emergence, significantly different from horizontal covering and seed emergence.
- Intervention effect Annual root cutting seedlings had significantly greater basal diameter than natural propagation seedlings.
- Intervention effect Other covering treatments showed no obvious difference.
- Association Root length and diameter interacted in their effect on emergence rate.
- Observation Except 1A and 1B, treatments had seedling emergence rates greater than 85%.
- Association At 2 mm root diameter, longer root cuttings had higher emergence.
- Observation Apart from 1A, 1B and 2B, basal diameter exceeded 0.6 cm.
- Association At the same root length, larger diameter cuttings produced larger basal diameter.
- Observation At 8 mm root diameter, average seedling basal diameter reached 0.77-0.95cm.
- Recommendation The authors recommend root cutting as an excellent method for kiwifruit rootstock seedling breeding.
