I was not clear from the article, whether the hormone is applied to only the
scion or to both the rootstock and the scion - which is it? nan
=================================================
It is our understanding in
http://www.rooting-hormones.com/cummins.htm
that the rooting hormones are applied to the graft union.
From personal correspondance with NAFEX members the suggested use is dry
powder rooting hormones such as Rhizopon AA #1.
It has not been trialed but I would suggest that the two ends of the union
be soaked in a water solution containg rooting hormones such as Rhizopon AA
Water Soluble Tablets at 3-5 tablets per liter of water for 5-10 minutes
then make the union.
