Abstract
The rooting of Ottawa 3 apple rootstock by softwood cuttings under int ermittent mist was improved by using a source of micropropagated plant s (63%) in comparison to two conventionally propagated sources (47 and 42%). Softwood cuttings from the micropropagated plants also develope d larger root masses than softwood cuttings from the conventional sour ces. Basal cuttings rooted better than tip cuttings (71 vs. 23%).
