    A STUDY OF EXPANDING THE USE OF MEDITERRANEAN CUPRESSUS IN IRE LAND IN AEGEAN MEDITERRANEAN REGIONS

    Selma Cokun1

    Two different experimental steps took place in this study and it was adapted to nursery conditions and similar experimental design of greenhouse. In the first step, the studies of uprooting of cuttings made real with optimum wet, heat and automatic spring watering systems under completely controlled conditions. In the second step, the studies were designed under nursery conditions without applying a special wet, heat and watering system.

    The main reason of this study is to present an alternative production system for the problems caused by seed production in the production of Cupressus Sempervirens var. Pyramidals (Tar-et. Tozz). In addition to being a windbelt against wind which is an egologically limiting factor and having rapid-growth characteristics, cupressus can be used in the stabilisation of erosion land and the sides of fire security roads and plantation planning studies. It will also be possible to expand cupressus which can also be used as exploitable material by planting in ecologically suitable areas. For that reason, there was a 100% success in uprooting of cuttings taken from 2-year old seedlings after the implementation of IBA hormone with 0.3% concentration under greenhouse conditions, especially in the ponza environment.
