En 1998, se inicia la exploración de usos para el aserrín, un desecho de la industria maderera. A pesar de las dudas iniciales, se prueba su uso tanto como sustrato para viveros como alimento para rumiantes. Sorprendentemente, las plantas cultivadas en aserrín muestran un desarrollo óptimo, destacando las mezclas con alto contenido de aserrín.
Effect of AIB and substrate temperature on adventitious root formation.
The study investigates the impact of various doses of indolbutyric acid (AIB) and substrate temperature on the rooting effectiveness of juvenile cuttings from five Cupressaceae species. Conducted in March 1997, the trial utilized two substrate conditions and five AIB levels, assessing outcomes through a factorial design with multiple replicates. Each species was treated as a separate experiment, with evaluations conducted at 60, 75, and 90 days to measure callus formation and root development.
