Abstract

Survival and growth were significantly better when cuttings were not covered or broken during early cultivation. Survival with good cultivation was 90 percent; with poor cultivation, survival ranged from 20 to 60 percent. Undisturbed cuttings grew 30 to 35 percent better than those covered before sprouting and almost 100 percent better than covered cuttings with broken sprouts.
