Brief Description
The study will involve the use of stem cuttings collected from the identified superior mother trees of dipterocarps and other indigenous timber species found in Ilocos Norte. The different activities will be conducted in the Central Nursery of MMSU from January 2013 to December 2016. Rooting activities and recovery for rooted stem cuttings will be done inside the Glass House located inside the Central Nursery.

The following activities below will be laid-out using the appropriate statistical designs and tools and will be replicated three times.

Acty 1. Rooting response of stem cuttings of selected dipterocarps and other indigenous timber species to different types, concentrations and dipping time of rooting hormone

  • conduct separate study on the rooting responses of selected dipterocarps and premium indigenous tree species to various types, concentrations and dipping time of rooting hormone using stem cuttings
Acty 2. Rooting response of stem cuttings of selected dipterocarps and other indigenous timber species to different type and concentration rooting hormone and rooting media
  • conduct separate study on the rooting response of five timber species to different rooting media and concentrations of rooting hormone application using stem cuttings
Acty 3. Rooting performance of some indigenous timber species to rooting hormone application (type, concentration) and source of cutting
  • conduct separate study on the rooting response of five indigenous timber species stem cuttings to different on rooting hormone application and source of cutting
Acty 4. Effect of seasonal variation and rooting media on the rooting ability of selected dipterocarps and other indigenous timber species
  • conduct separate study on the seasonal variation and rooting media in rooting ability of 5 selected dipterocarps and indigenous timber species using stem cuttings
Acty 5. Survival and growth performance of rooted stem cuttings to different potting media and watering frequency
  • conduct separate study on different potting media and watering frequency to rooted stem cuttings of 5 indigenous timber species
Acty 6. Root growth potential and growth performance of rooted stem cuttings as affected by different rates of fertilizer and GA3 application
  • conduct separate study to rooted stem cutting of five indigenous timber species to different rates of fertilizer and GA3 application
Acty 7. Development and vigor of rooted stem cuttings to different hardening practices
  • conduct separate study on the different hardening practices of planting stocks to five indigenous timber species using stem cuttings as planting materials
Expected Output

Acty 1. Effective type, rate and dipping time of rooting hormone

Acty 2. Effective rooting media and con. of rooting

Acty 3. Effective rooting media and con. of rooting hormone and source of cutting

Acty 4. Ideal season of propagation and rooting for stem cuttings

Acty 5. Ideal potting media and watering frequency of rooted stem cuttings

Acty 6. Appropriate nutrient requirement of rooted stem cuttings

Acty 7. Ideal and cost effective hardening practice for transplants using stem cuttings
