Rooting of stem and leaf minicuttings in the vegetative propagation of cedro-rosa (Cedrela fissilis Vell.)

This work aimed to evaluate the rooting of five different types of minicuttings (stem, apical stem, intermediate stem, apical stem with removed leaves and leaf), in the vegetative propagation of cedro-rosa (Cedrela fissilis), by applying the minicutting technique, using seedlings material. The results showed that stem cutting was the most efficient technique for the vegetative propagation of this species, with up to 84% survival at 90 days of age. Thus, this technique can be used as an alternative in the production of minicuttings of this species, throughout the year.
