Abstract

The Guinean Savannah Highlands of Adamawa are full of many species of great socio-economic interests, among which figures Securidaca longepedunculata. Despite its importance, it is subjected to anthropic pressures which quicken its disappearance in this area. The main purpose of the work is to contribute to the domestication of this Polygalaceae with a view to its conservation and introduction into existing peasant production systems. The effect of the diameter of the root segment cuttings and the mode of insertion of the cuttings in the substrate on budding and rooting were evaluated. The experimental design adopted was a split-plot with three replications. The results reveal those cuttings with a diameter of 1.1-2cm showed good budding (84.84±17.4%) and rooting (38.88±26.19%) ability. This trend was similar for cuttings with a diameter of 0.5-1 cm (38.88±25.22% rooting). Regarding the mode of insertion of the cuttings into the substrate, the budding rate ranged significantly (0.000 < 0.001) from 52.22±27.28% for root segment cuttings inserted horizontally into the substrate to 91.11±12.69% for those incubated obliquely. The rooting rate fluctuated significantly (0.03 < 0.05) from 20±16.58% in cuttings inserted horizontally in the substrate to 44.44±22.97% in those inserted obliquely in the substrate. These results are useful in the development of the propagation datasheet for this species.
