THE USE OF INTERSTOCK ON RAMBUTAN (Nephelium lapaceum L,) PROPAGATION.

>

The constrainof conventional propagation of rambutan is mainly caused by variability of the stocks from seedlings. The use ofinterstock was studied in order to observe compatibility between stock and scion, and also between stock, interstock andscion. The experiment was arranged in a Factorial Randomized Block Design consisted of two factors. The first factorwas interstock cv. Sitangkue (with and without interstock). The second factor was scion varieties (Binjai, Rapiah, LebakBulus, and Simacan). The variety of stock used was Sinyonya. Compatibility was detected by tracing translocation of 32pfrom growth medium to stock, interstock and scion. This work indicated that compatibility between stock cv. Sinyonyaand scion cv. Simacan either with or without interstock cv. Sitangkue was better than those with scion cvs. Binjai, Lebakbulus, and Rapiah. Activity of 32pon stocks, scion twigs and leaves using interstock was lower compared with those without interstock. Ismiyati Sutarto, M.
