Propagating Apples in Peru by an Improved Mound Layering Method1

Year: 1971

Type: article

Abstract: It was found possible to produce grafted apple plants ( Malus sylvestris Mill .) on quince rootstock ( Cydonia oblonga L.) in 1 year, by introducing an improvement to the classic mound layering method, this improvement was based on the grafting of the mound layered shoots while still attached to the mother plant using single or double grafting. Spring is the normal season for starting the process, but satisfactory results were also obtained when starting in the fall. This study emphasizes the potential of this improved method in relation to the number of plants that can be obtained per area and the time that can be saved.
