Trial on different carnation species

The cuttings were evaluated live and not based on photographs, with approximately 30 cuttings assessed per treatment/%.

In this trial, cuttings of multiple plant species were propagated under controlled conditions and treated with different concentrations of rooting powder (0.1–0.5%). An untreated control was included for each species. All cuttings were grown under identical conditions, using a fixed irrigation and misting regime with continuous climate monitoring.

After rooting, the cuttings were evaluated using a standardized scoring system, including root quality and uniformity. The results clearly show that cuttings treated with rooting powder achieved higher scores than untreated cuttings. This effect was consistently visible across multiple species and plug sizes, demonstrating that the use of rooting powder provides a clear added value.
