New reproduction of silver fir

New Project activities RESILFOR 2011:
Action C1: the reproduction of grafting seedlings of Abies alba from indigenous peoples of the Apennines.

New collections of slips to Pigelleto (M. Amiata, Siena), in the coming days will begin in the Forest of Casentino Verna (Arezzo) and Bocca Trabaria (in the province of Pesaro Urbino).

They involved three nurseries: Florame in the province of Siena, Nursery Cerreta for the valley of Casentino in the province of Arezzo and nursery Assam in Sant'Angelo in Vado in the province of Pesaro Urbino. 3 tree-climbers are involved for the collection of slips, 12 workers for grafting. 3000 grafts are produced and ready for the autumn of 2011.

GRAFTINGS TEST AMIATA

It 'was shown the technique of grafting to Abies alba.

The Forestry Research CRA Arezzo, Fulvio Ducci, has experienced this delicate type of graft and played a practical lesson to the workers of the nurseries FLORAMIATA (SI) and the Mountain Community of  Casentino (AR). The grafts were performed using the following material:

twigs collected from sites Pigelleto and Mount La Verna in Casentino. The grafts were harvested from plants identified on the ground with a number and your GPS position.
rootstocks of two types: 2 +2 and 2 +3

types of engagement are:
Direct, on drums with a size between 7 and 5 mm
the side of the stem

The grafts were transferred in a cold greenhouse (T ° C 15-16) with a constant humidity
