Vegetative propagation inScirpus lacustris L.

Growth measurements on individual polycormones ofScirpus lacustris L. cultivated in hydroponic sand cultures from single rhizome cuttings enabled us to analyse the process of offshoot formation. The time interval in the growth of individual subsequent shoots of one polycormone (plastochron), the final length of the shoot and the number of shoots formed during the growth period are suitable parameters for describing the rhythm of offshoot formation. The interdependence of these parameters and the effect of cutting or shading of individual shoots characterize the translocation of assimilates produced by individual shoots, and their use for the growth of subsequent shoots.
