Abstract

Intensity of rooting on hardwood hazelnut cuttings is evaluated during two consecutive years. The evaluation is conducted on 6 hazelnut varieties (Istarski, Tonda Romana, Extra Yagli, Ludolf, Hall’s Giant, Devianna) in greenhouse conditions at experimental greenhouse of Institute of Agriculture, Skopje. The cuttings are collected during dormancy of the plants, before start of vegetation. Two types of auxins IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) 2%, and NAA (α-naphthalene acetic acid) 0.2% are used. From evaluated varieties, Tonda Romana has the highest percentage of rooting (85.5%) and it is characterized with the highest value of rooted cuttings of first class. At all evaluated varieties, treatment with higher concentration of IBA gives higher percentage of rooted cuttings and higher value of rooted cuttings of first class.
