This study was conducted with these objectives: l) to determine the cost of production of gumamela hybrids so as to know the reasonable price at which they may be sold; and 2) to find out which method of propagation is better from among marcotting and stem cutting using appropriate hormone.
A total of thirteen (13) plants that served as the mother plants were marcotted and stem-cut to produce 22 new and young plants that were nurtured and grown in this study covering the period from August 1999 to January 2000.
Based on the findings of this study, marcotting is better than stem cutting. The Marcotted plants grew from its initial averaged height of 10 inches to 18.8 inches, while the growth of stem cutting plants from its initial height of 6 inches to 12.1 inches. In terms of faster rooting ability, marcotting took only three weeks while stem cutting took six weeks. Furthermore, the average of the incremental height of marcotting was 1.27 inches compared to stem cutting, which had 0.55 inch.
In this study, the procedures to produce the hybrids were carefully detailed to serve as model in further researches and to serve as reference guide for future propagation of Hibiscus.
