Abstract:In this study,Miscanthus×giganteus was used as cutting material to explore the effects of different cutting position,cutting time and exogenous hormones on the survival rate and root growth of Miscanthus×giganteus stem cutting.The results showed that the rooting and survival status of seedling from lower stem position cutting is better than that from middle stem position cutting.From the end of August to the beginning of September,the survival rate,seedling height,rooting number,longest root length,and fresh and dry weight aboveground and underground of cutting seedlings reached the maximum value,which were 87.5%,44.05 cm,7.05,26.03 cm,1.673 g,0.561 g,0.372 g,and 0.135 g,respectively,and the growth condition was the best.Under the treatment with exogenous hormones at concentrations of 0,25,50,75 and 100 mg/L,with the increase of concentration,the survival rate,seedling height,longest root length,number of roots,and the fresh dry weight aboveground and underground of the stem cutting seedlings decreased first,then increased and decreased again,and reached the maximum at 75 mg/L GA3 treantment.In addition,the results showed that IBA and NAA treatment inhibited the rooting and survival of stem cutting seedlings,and NAA treatment had the strongest inhibiting effect.This study demonstrated the effects of cutting position,cutting time and exogenous hormones on the cutting efficiency of Miscanthus×giganteus,and provided a basis for the stem cutting propagation of Miscanthus×giganteus.
