VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION VIA CUTTINGS OF THE MOROCCAN EUPHRATES POPLAR (Populus euphratica Oliv.) IN T

Euphrates poplar (Populus euphratica Olivier) extends over a very wide range from China to North Africa. In Morocco, it covers very small areas subject to very severe environmental stresses (aridity, salinity, heat). Vegetative propagation techniques easy to implement by nursery workers are not well documented in Morocco. The objective of this study is to develop an operational technique by cuttings. Dormant and lignified sets (length: 50 to 80 cm, diameter: 8.72 ±2.12 mm) sampled from Ait Atmane population, located between Er-Riche and Er-Rachidia in the south-central region from Morocco. The hormonal effect of indole butyric acid (IBA) at 1% and that of the growing medium were evaluated on sets rooting according to a factorial experimental design.
