Cuttage of Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica

Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica

Propagation of almond-peach hybrids by cuttings is challenging and requires mandatory use of auxins to stimulate rooting. The efficiency of the process significantly depends on the genotype of the specific clone and environmental conditions.

In the reference 7 varieties crop Prunus amygdalus x Prunus persica, where this is mentioned in the description.

Almond-peach hybrids are characterized by a low natural rooting ability, which distinguishes them from more easily propagated stone fruit crops such as plum. To achieve acceptable rates of root system formation, the use of exogenous growth regulators is necessary, as the process is extremely inefficient without stimulation.

The regenerative capacity of these hybrids shows high variability, determined by the genotype of the specific clone, and is subject to significant year-to-year fluctuations. Due to the low predictability of cutting results, micropropagation methods in vitro are often preferred on an industrial scale, as they allow for the production of higher-quality planting material.
