Pear propagation by cuttings

Pyrus L.

Pear is considered a difficult-to-root crop, requiring the use of specialized clonal rootstocks and growth stimulants for successful propagation.

In the reference 5 varieties crop Pear, where this is mentioned in the description.

Pear is characterized by a low natural ability to form adventitious roots, and the process of callus formation at the cut often ends in tissue decay without the development of a root system. To increase the efficiency of the process, it is critical to select cultivars or rootstocks, such as Avgusteyskaya Rosa, Osennaya Yakovleva, Pamyati Yakovleva, or clonal rootstocks PG 12(k), PG 2, PG 17-16, which demonstrate rooting rates of over 60%.

The primary propagation method is softwood cutting during the phase of intensive shoot growth. Success depends directly on the use of artificial mist systems that maintain a stable microclimate, as well as the mandatory treatment of cuttings with growth regulators, specifically indole-3-butyric acid in combination with synergists.
