Propagation

Information below focuses on information around ornamental and nursery crop propagation as well as edible crop propagation.  More specific crop propagation information can be found in the drop down menus above specific to each crop type.

General Information:
Cutting production and propagation: is there room for improvement? (Lopez, Runkle, Faust and Dole, 2007).

Sanitation:
Biosafe Greenhouse and Nursery cleaning and sanitation
Biosafe PPM cheat sheet.

Seed Germination:
Keep your cool: . . .during germination. (Faust, Shimizu and Heins. 1994).
Temperature and light effects on seed germination (Erwin, 1991).
pH affects seed germination of eight bedding plant species (Shoemaker and Carlson, 1990)
Propagating crops from seed, and greenhouse management 
Seed crop information (Ball, 2010)

Cutting Handling:
Post-Harvest conditions for rooting cuttings (Williams, Fisher, Han, 2006)
 Influence of the post harvest environment on the storage potential and propagation performance of unrooted cuttings or herbaceous ornamentals (Enfield, 2011).

Cutting Dips:
How to start with a clean crop:  Biopesticide dips reduce populations of BEmesia tabac (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on greenhouse poinsettia propagative cuttings (Buitenhuis et al., 2016). 
Dipping cuttings to start clean (Buitenhuis et al., Vineland Research Report).

Direct Stick:
Cutting Time = A quicker turnaround (Trellinger, 2018)
Simplify production with cutting time TM callused cuttings (Syngenta).
​Space and time efficacy of different cutting types and transplanting strategies (Vallejo et al., 2017).
Economics of direct transplant versus liners, and unrooted versus callused cuttings (Vallejo et al., 2017).​

Liner/Cutting Rooting:
Grower 101:  Rooting hormones (Cerveny and Gibson, 2005)
How to successfully use aqueous (water based) IBA rooting solutions
Plant propagation from cuttings using rooting solutions by foliar methods (Kroin, 2009)
PGRs:  Control your quality (Heins and Pilon, 2014).
Plant propagation from cuttings using rooting solutions by foliar methods (Kroin, 2009)
​PGRs:  Control your quality (Heins and Pilon, 2014).
Grower 101:  Rooting hormones (Cerveny and Gibson, 2005)
Factors affecting Clematis rooting (Erwin and Schwarze, 1992).
​Asexual propagation of bedding plants (Erwin, 1995).
Propagating and finishing seven common vegetative annuals (Lang).
Propagating perennials vegetatively (Perry).

Light Quantity Effects on Propagation:
Managing light during propagation (Lopez and Runkle, 2005).
Supplementary lighting and CO2 enrichment for accelerated growth of selected woody ornamental seedlings and rooted cuttings (Lin and Molnar, 1982).

Light Quality Effects on Propagation:
Influence of night lighting with red, far red, and incandescent light on rooting of chrysanthemum cuttings (Heins, Healy and Wilkins, 1980).
​Lighting young plants indoors (Runkle et al., 2019).
​
Moisture Management:
Moisture management during vegetative cutting propagation (Owen, MSU Extension, 2018)

Tissue Culture:
Influence of photoperiod and daminozide stock plant pretreatments on ethylene and CO2 levels and callus formation from dahlia leaf segment cultures (Gavinlertvatana, Read, Wilkins, and Heins, 1979).
