Variability induction by irradiation of avocado (Persea americana Mill) Scions II

Description

Propagative wood from seven avocado selections from CICTAMEX and the cvs. Hass and Fuerte were exposed to four doses of Gamma irradiation (0.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 Krad) aiming to induce variability. The irradiated wood was grafted with the following survival results: 0.0 Krad 88.8 % , 2.0 Krad 77.7 % , 4.0 Krad 52.77 % and 6.0 Krad 0.0 % . The grafted plants which survived to 2.0 Krad were planted at the end of December 1991, showing more tendency to horizontal growth habit in comparison with the control trees. (Author)
