Araucaria angustifolia grafting: techniques, environments and origin of propagation material

Araucaria angustifolia (araucaria) is a remarkable species in the Mixed Ombrophilous Forest. The low germination of the stored seeds and its long reproductive cycle make grafting a good alternative for propagation, making possible to obtain genetically superior trees with early fruiting. However, ar...
