Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of various field techniques of vegetative propagation in the establishment of Arundo donax L cultures. Transplantation of influence when Arundo donax L. in relation to plant propagation systems vegetative clone was studied during the years 2013 and 2014 in the experimental farm of El Encin Madrid (Spain). The emphasis here on a promising option with a factorial experiment was conducted combining three propagation methods clone (horizontal cuttings and cuttings propagules short or long vertical stems). Best of all propagation methods is the vertical axis. In 2013 they were introduced in the field in October, with plantlets in vitro culture. We evaluated the development of different plants from different amplification systems. The experimental design involved 10 treatments. Have been placed 6 plants and 3 replicates per treatment. These systems have been evaluated in the field in 2014 and in this paper we present the results after one year of implementation. Results showed that were significant differences between treatments for all plant traits. We assessed the biomass produced, greater plant height, number of stems per plant and size of plants; being the best performing treatment had A1 a knot was placed in the water and another A6 emerged seedlings and untied with a depth of 15 cm thick .
