Rooting of Pittosporum tobira 'Variegata' Cuttings as Influenced by Pre-Plant Treatments of Contrast (Flutalonil) and Post-Plant Fungicide Treatment Combinations

摘要

The effective control of fungal pathogens begins with early preventive measures ensuring disease-free propagating materials. This investigation sought to examine differences in percentage rooting of Pittosporum tobira "Variegata" within a block of Contrast pre-plant treated (minimum of 24 h prior to cutting) cuttings and nontreated cuttings. Additionally, six various post-plant fungicide treatment combinations were periodically applied to pre-plant treated and nontreated cuttings. Treatments were laid out in a randomized split-block design.
