Effects of Soil Media on Growth and Survival of Micropropagated Black Cherry
Micropropagated plantlets of black cherry (Prunus serotina Ehrh.) were transplanted in the greenhouse from an agar medium to plastic tubes containing one of three different soil mixtures of peat, perlite, vermiculite, and sand at ratios of 1:1:0:1, 2:1:2:0, or 3:0:2:1. Each mixture had 10 tubes, each with one plantlet, and each of three clones was represented in each soil mixture. There was no significant difference among soil mixtures for plantlet root or shoot growth, although the 1:1:0:1 mixture was preferable because it provided the greatest number of plantable plantlets.
