Abstract

This paper aims to aprimorate the technic of offshots rooting and preparing of offshoots and verify the effect of progenies and substrates on the rooting of peach palm (Bactris gasipaes Kunth. var. gasipaes Henderson) offshots. Average of survival varying from 26.6 % to 60 %, of rooting from 3.3 % to 10 %. The progenies survival
average varied from 16.6 % to 26.6 % and rooting from 10 % to 16.6 %. Technic for extracting basal offshoots,
presence of roots with turgid basis and meristematic tissue are principal factor for rooting of basal offshoots.
