Avances en la propagación del aguacate

Abstract Being the avocado a highly cross-pollinated and heterozygous species, its multiplication from seeds produces a highly variable progeny in relation to the morphological and biological characteristics of the parents. Therefore, the adoption of more efficient propagation methods for obtaining higher quality seedlings in terms of production and disease resistance became relevant. Scion grafting onto a seedling rootstock is mostly used in the commercial propagation of avocado trees in Brazil and in the main producing countries. However, such a procedure confers great variability and diffe...
