Rozmnażanie śniedka arabskiego (Ornithogalum arabicum L.) przez sadzonki dwułuskowe z wykorzystaniem ekstraktów z alg morskich

Aim of the experiment carried out in 2008–2009 was to assess the effect of the kind of twin scales and seaweed extracts on yield of adventitious bulbs of Arabian Star Flower (Ornithogalum arabicum L.). The twin scales were excised from the outer and inner of the parent bulb. The twin scales were soaked for 30 minutes in 0.2% solution of AlgaminoPlant and Goëmar Goteo containing extracts of algae Ascophyllum and Sargassum. The research showed the number of adventitious bulbs formation was greater when twin scales were excised from the outer of the parent bulb. The adventitious bulbs formed from outer twin scales had a higher fresh weight, circumference, number and length of roots. The seaweed extracts used stimulated the number and length of roots of adventitious bulbs.
