Biosolids Improve Rooting of Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea glabra) Cuttings [PDF]
Abstract Cuttings of Bougainvillea glabra were placed in 80-ml (4.9 in3) containers containing rooting medium mixed with various concentrations of biosolids (1, 2.5, 5 and 7.5%) from two sources (Herzliyya and Haifa). Two biosolids-free control media were used (with or without addition of mini-Osmocote fertilizer).
