A new technique for raising young cocoa plants. - (:unkn) unknown
Details are presented of experiments using the nutrient film technique (NFT) to grow cocoa seedlings, root cuttings and establish bench grafts. Seedling growth was greater with NFT than when grown in compost, which caused leaf scorching. Rooting of cuttings was greater with NFT than under mist. Grafting success did not differ significantly between NFT and mist systems.
