THE DEPENDENCE OF THE ROOTING OF
CUTTINGS OF LAVENDER ON THE TIMING
OF PROPAGATION AND THE AGE OF THE
MOTHER PLANTS

Description
The article is concerned with the features of Lavandula’s
angustifolia vegetative propagation with methods of the
propagation by herbaceous cuttings and of the annual
woody cutting. The dependence of Lavandula’s varieties
Sineva and Vdala rooting of cutting and the cutting grafting
period and the age of the mother plantation was
established. In the fixed years, the rooting rate of cuttings is
58-67%. The maximum annual hardwood cuttings rooting
was observed from the fifth to the seventh year of the
cuttings’ workpiece (75-77%). The highest rooting rate of
green cuttings belonging to Vdala sort (80%) is observed in
the 3-4th years of use the mother plantation. The best result
for rooting rate by the annual woody cutting showed
Lavandula’s mother plantation, which belongs to Vdala
sort and was being cultivated from 3rd to 6th year. The
rooting of Lavandula’s angustifolia cuttings depends on
weather conditions; during drought years the rooting of
green cuttings is considerably reduced. During Lavandula’s
rooting cuttings it is necessary to take into account the
biological characteristics of each variety
