Abstract
The objective of this study is to optimize the agromorphological parameters of Myrianthus arboreus by cutting in Côte d'Ivoire. Two hundred (200) cuttings taken from five (05) plants of Myrianthus arboreus from Daloa with broad leaves and fruits with high solid quarters were sown, observed and then measured. Two types of sowing, oblique sowing as well as horizontal and soil-covered sowing were tested. Four variables related to germination capacity were observed and four others related to growth capacity were measured respectively on the 20th, 30th and 40th day after germination of the cutting. The results showed that the germination and growth ability variables of cuttings varied according to the type of seeding. Cuttings sown horizontally and covered with soil showed the best germination and growth capacity. In addition, these cuttings showed an early appearance of the first leaf of the bud. This suggests that horizontal seeding of the soil-covered cuttings could be recommended for Myrianthus arboreus cuttings in the nursery.
