- Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effect of planting schemes and planting dates on the rooting ability and growth performance of green cuttings of Actinidia deliciosa (kiwi). The experiments were carried out under greenhouse conditions during 2022–2024 using the “Hayward” cultivar. The cuttings were planted at various spacings (ranging from 10×5 cm to 15×25 cm) and at different times (from early May to the end of June). The results showed that as the planting distance increased, both the rooting ability of the cuttings and the overall growth parameters of the plants improved. The best results were obtained with the 15×25 cm spacing: the rooting rate reached 90.6%, shoot formation 98.3%, root system volume 7.1 cm3, and plant height 73.6 cm. However, in terms of the number of standard seedlings obtained per 1 m2, the 10×20 cm and 15×15 cm planting schemes proved to be the most optimal (yielding 44–46 standard seedlings). The timing of planting also had a significant effect on the rooting process. The most active rhizogenesis occurred in cuttings planted during the last ten days of May: callus formation began after 14 days, and roots appeared after 18 days, with a rooting rate of 87.8%. In contrast, both earlier and later plantings resulted in weaker root development. In conclusion, when propagating kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa) by green cuttings, the most favorable results are achieved when cuttings are planted in the last ten days of May using a 10×20 cm or 15×15 cm planting scheme. This approach ensures the production of high-quality, standard seedlings.
