METHODS OF PROPAGATION OF CITRUS PLANTS IN VITRO AND IN CLOSED PROTECTED PLACES
Keywords:
Grafting, shoot, tape strip, sproutAbstract
A commercial citrus tree usually consists of two parts: the stem and the root. The lemon is the above-ground part of the tree and includes the main trunk, leaves and fruit. The part of the rhizome or rhizome that consists of the lower stem and root system of a tree. Rootstocks are usually grown from seed, but can also be grown from cuttings or tissue. Lemons are joined to the rhizome by a process called grafting, detailed below. By using different cultivars for rootstock and stem, more desirable traits can be incorporated into a single tree. A specific root variety can make a citrus tree resistant to various stresses, such as unfavorable soil conditions, soil pests and diseases, and frost. Root can also greatly affect citrus tree size, fruit quality, and yield. Therefore, you can see what methods of multiplication are effective
