peer agreement (net): +1| punta terminal sin raíces rootless terminal cutting stems Explanation: Preliminary results on the utilisation of verdolaga (Sesuvium portulacastrum L.) on the foredune stabilisation are presented. The study was carried out at Santa Elena (7°28'52''S and 79°33'22''W), northern Peru. Initially, propagation tests were made with terminal, medium and basal stem cuttings in plant pots using the following soil treatments: pure sand, sand/humus and sand/humus/loam. Then, 115 plants with well developed roots were transplanted to a 20 x 5 meters plot near the beach, in three rows separated by rows of 160 *rootless terminal cutting stems*. In both cases, 75% of the plants were treated with a slow release fertiliser and 25% did not receive any treatment. A porous fence was built for the protection of the young plants from the abrasive action of the sand grains. Reference: http://www.lamolina.edu.pe/ecolapl/Dunas_litorales.htm |
