Rooted Cutting of Gymnostoma Sumatranum for Land Reclamation in Degraded Ultramafic Forests in Sabah

Gymnostoma sumatranum, a member of the Casuarinaceae family, is a resilient tree species well-adapted to nutrient-deficient soils. In Sabah, it stands out among the three and widely distributed Casuarina species, holding promise for land reclamation initiatives in degraded ultramafic forests. This comprehensive study addresses three primary objectives for effective G. sumatranum propagation, 1) sprig selection for rooted cutting, 2) impact of commercial rooting hormones on growth and nodulation, and 3) identification of suitable potting media for seedling development. The results indicated tha... Mehr ...
