Effect of transplant timing on growth of root of Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus Makino

Abstract

We examined the growth of the root of cuttings of Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus cutting transplanted in April, July and August in 2005 after they had planted temporarily. The amount of the extension, the thickness, the ramifications and dry weight of the expanding root outside the root pots of cuttings were measured two, four and six weeks after they were transplanted. As a result, the difference at the transplant time was considered to affect the growth of the first root and the second root, the elongation growth and the thickening growth of the root.
