โฆ Synopsis
Vegetative propagation of Acacia senegal is possible from branch fragments taken from the crown of mature trees (13 years old), without causing o rtet destruction.
The most responsive planting stock is taken from cuttings 15 cm long (with 12 to 15 nodes) and a diameter of 10 _+ 6 mm (wood of 2 to 4 years old). With this material, the ablation of the leaves prior to planting is a factor which furthers development of the cutting's root system.
The development of the root system is also highly influenced by the time at which the cutting is taken: results vary from 10% during the dry season to more than 70% during the rainy season (June-October).
Cuttings can be taken from branches 50 cm long. It is thus possible to preserve the planting stock for 8 days in a continually humidified jute cloth and then to make the cuttings at the time of establishment in a nursery, without changing their rhizogenic aptitude.
The cuttings show characteristics of maturity (slow growth, plagiotropy, fructification). It is nevertheless possible to preserve the collected genotypes in the field, or better, in planting pots in the nursery, so as to further the process of physiologic rejuvenation with the aim of in vitro cloning.
R6sumd
Le bouturage d'Acacia senegal est possible ~t partir de fragments de rameaux prdlev6s dans le houppier d'arbres adultes (13 ans), sans destruction de ceux-ci.
Le mat6riel v6g6tal le plus r6actif est constitu6 par des boutures de 15 cm de long (12 fi 15 noeuds) et de 10 _+ 6 mm de diam6tre (bois de deux fl quatre arts). L'ablation des feuilles avant raise en culture est un facteur favorable h l'enracinement des boutures.
Celui-ci est aussi trbs influenc6 par la date de pr61bvement des boutures et il varie de 10% en saison s~che ~t plus de 70% en saison des pluies (juin-octobre).
La collecte de boutnres peut se faire sous forme de fragments de rameaux de 50 cm de long. I1 est alors possible de conserver ce mat6riel pendant huit jours dans une toile maintenue humide et d'y d6couper les boutures au moment de la raise en place en p6pini~re, sans altdrer leur aptitude rhizogbne.
Les boutures pr~sentent des caract~res de maturit~ (croissance lente, plagiotropie, fructification). I1 est cependant possible de conserver les g6notypes ainsi mobilis6s an champ, ou mieux, dans des pots en p6pini6re, afin d'amplifier le processus de rajeunissement physiologique en rue de leur clonage in vitro.
