Initial studies on factors influencing cutting reproduction of esculent chrysanthemum.

Studies were carried out on relevant factors influencing cutting reproduction of esculent chrysanthemum from substrates selection,quicksets lengths,rooting powder treatment and esculent chrysanthemum varieties.The results showed that perlite was the best substrate for cutting,root-ability was stronger when the length of the quickset was 10 cm,and root-ability could be promoted significantly by rooting powder.There were big differences among varieties in root-ability of quicksets.
