Currently, approximately 60% of olive trees on the market are self-rooted, offering a number of advantages over grafted ones, including genetic homogeneity, shorter greenhouse growth periods, and low production costs. The main limiting factor for the wider diffusion of self-rooted cuttings is the olive tree's limited ability to emit roots. The possibility of increasing rooting efficiency in a greater number of commercial olive varieties represents the starting point for the large-scale use of self-rooted cuttings and their wider dissemination in nurseries.

Abstract
Currently, approximately 60% of olive trees on the market are self-rooted, offering a number of advantages over grafted ones, including genetic homogeneity, shorter greenhouse growth periods, and low production costs. The main limiting factor for the wider diffusion of self-rooted cuttings is the olive tree's limited ability to emit roots. The possibility of increasing rooting efficiency in a greater number of commercial olive varieties represents the starting point for the large-scale use of self-rooted cuttings and their wider dissemination in nurseries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
