Abstract
A mist propagation method for rooting hardwood cuttings of the vine variety Black Shiraz is described. This method is based on taking hardwood cuttings at the normal pruning time and planting the rooted cuttings out 3-4 months later. This gives a first crop of about 1 ton per acre in the second season. A further advantage of this method is the uniformity in growth and low failure rate of 1% in the field or 5% during the whole propagation period, including the two seasons in the field. The economical aspects of this method are discussed.
