Rubus Propagation Research

This article is about Rubus Propagation Research. In recent years, Rubus propagation has moved out of the ground and into the greenhouse driven by more intensive production systems and the need to quickly ramp up new varieties. William Smith, fourth year Honours student from the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) at the University of Tasmania, is investigating how to improve both the efficiency and timing of raspberry propagation from tips for commercial production.
